The last one....
This is my last post for my class! I can't believe I did it! I'm not sure if I will continue to blog about my Pinterest attempts. TBD
For my last recipe I decided to do something I've been wanting to do since watching Britain's Next Great Baker on Netflix. They are always talking about puff pastry. Puff pastry is the name of the game for this recipe and it was actually pretty fun. There is a lot of rolling and folding and it's rather soothing.
After starting this recipe I noticed that the recipe only tells you how to make the puff pastry, it didn't tell me what to do with it after I had made it, so I had to find another recipe to finish them out.
The first thing the recipe said was to mix flour and salt.
Done.
Next, cut up some cold butter into cubes. (The funny thing is, it specifically said high-quality butter. haha aint nobody got time for that)
Add to flour and mix. It said to use some sort of pastry device, which I obviously don't have. It gave an alternative, two knives and cut into flour. Uhhh, say what? Cut into flour?
Not sure what I was doing but I went with it.
Actually, I didn't. haha nothing was really happening so I took things into my own hands. Literally. I did some mushing with my hands, I couldn't document it because my hands were messy due to the mushing.
Next, make a hole and add water.
Make a rough square shape.
Roll, fold, turn, repeat.
This was the fun part. it didn't say how far to fold in, so I took my knowledge from watching Britain's next great baker and applied it.
It said to repeat about 6-7 times, I lost count so I honestly don't know how many times I did it.
Wrap in cling wrap and chill for at least an hour.
During this at least an hour of down time I had time to try to figure out what to do next, because this is where the first recipe ended.
Chocolate and sugar is always a good option. I found one that made chocolate wheels or something like that. It said to use cocoa powder and sugar but it didn't say whether or not to use sweetened or unsweetened cocoa powder so I used chocolate chips. Which may have been a mistake.

I baked them for about 15 minutes and for some reason the oven was really steamy. eek.
They turned out okay. Flakey like they are supposed to be I believe...I should have either added a ton more chocolate and sugar or none at all...
