Anything involving pastry. It makes me nervous, and I'm pretty sure it can smell fear.

tourtiereOctober 10, 2014

It isn't baking in the traditional sense, but it does use yeast, and it is CRUMPETS! I want to be a crumpet maven.

I would love to master Profiteroles and temperamental choux pastry. Unfortunately this is a treat that I must go out to enjoy, as I failed miserably years ago when I had a pregnancy craving for those delicious mouthfuls. Choux Pastry would also make Croquembouche a possibility.........!!!

I would like to master crème patisserie (don't know if that's strictly a baking technique - I guess I could bake something to put it in?)
