Last night at college we made our own puff pastry. We used 250g of butter in it and turned and turned it 6 times. I thought I would find it tedious but I found it quite enjoyable being methodical and gentle with the pastry. Next we made caramel (which was exciting but scary) for the tart tatin. I have a bucket list of recipes to cook and master before I die and tart tatin is on it! Didnt go quite to plan as need to use more apples and less caramel, however I think I know where I went wrong so next time hopefully it will be even better because although it was not the most attractive thing I have ever made it still tasted delicious! Choux pastry went well and eveyone thought my piccie of the swan was great. And work was pleased as I took eclairs in. So all in all a good night both the caramel and the lemon diplomat went extremely well and I feel like the tart tatin is a work in progress! Really enjoye myself again but knackered tonight.
