Croissant

Waking up to freshly baked croissants is heavenly ;) It’s all I want on some Saturday mornings ;) This was my first attempt after procrastinating for months, well, nothing new. Never mind, procrastination and hesitation are history now and I started getting my hands dirty. First, the dough. Happily measuring all the ingredients in the mixing bowl according to the recipe, some time passed, my dough was still very wet and sticky.

Custard Cream Pastry

I have been procrastinating to bake millefeuille, meaning thousand leaves, because I was afraid that I’d get disappointed if the puff pastry didn’t rise, also I was more interested in playing tennis in the sun than to stay in-door to bake ;). Well, I think I have put it off long enough, it’s time to confront it!

Galette du Roi

I’m always amazed by the layers in puff pastry like croissant, millefeuille, chausson aux pommes (apple turnover)… and last but not least la galette du roi (the king’s cake), it’s one of my favourite French puff pastries.
