Daring Bakers - Vol au Vent
Sunday, 27. September 2009, 14:02:01
I haven't got much longer to post today, but I must say a few words!
The September 2009 Daring Bakers' challenge was hosted by Steph of A Whisk and a Spoon. She chose the French treat, Vols-au-Vent based on the Puff Pastry recipe by Michel Richard from the cookbook Baking With Julia by Dorie Greenspan.
This was one of the most exciting Challenges I have ever made! It is really an amazing sensation to make my own puff pastry! And after all that effort of rolling, folding and chilling, there is no more gratifying experience than watch your own puff pastry puffying up in the oven, getting taller and taller, and to see all the pastry sheets coming out from that thin layer!

My Vols au Vent were filled with pastry cream and some homemade compotes, made from mulberries, strawberries and pineaple.
Thank you, Steph! And to check out for more Daring Bakers' results, as well as the recipe for this amazing puff pastry, just click in the Daring Kitchen website!

Oi Renato, tudo bom?
Minha dúvida: usar massa folhada pronta dá o mesmo resultado?
