My mum has a new hobby. Keeping recipes from the Berita Minggu cooking page so that she can happily show it to her daughter who just so happen love baking. Smart mummy.
She showed me this recipe for puff pastry.I was hesistant at first because the last time she showed me a recipe from BM, it didn’t turn out that well. But I gave in anyway looking at how interested she is. Anyway it’s better I do it than her, coz knowing mums, they get a bit too “innovative” with recipes.
So with the recipe in hand, I did the pastry dough and made 2 types of pastry. Curry puff and vol-u-vent
I’m supposed to use jam for the vol-u-vent but because I couldn’t find it in the fridge…I used nutell instead.It works well so no complaint there..
How do they all look? Nice,no? =)
Here’s the recipe if you want
Ingredients
-620g plain flour
-110g butter
-210ml cold water
-1 egg
-1 teaspoon of salt
-320g of pastry margarine
-whisked egg for brushing on pastry
Method
Add everything together in a bowl except for the pastry margarine and whisked egg. Mixed to get a soft dough. Rolled out the dough to form a square, slabber on the pastry margarine evenly and fold the dough into 3. Repeat this step 5 times.Lastly,roll the finished dough and keep it aside for any use.
Have fun.
