Puff Pastry?
« on: October 25, 2009, 02:05:09 pm »
Does a recipe for that come with the tmx?  I haven't got mine yet but I'm meal planning and impatient so I was looking for one! heehee

If not does anyone have a good (and easy) one I can try? :)

Think that's the rough puff rather than the full on butter, fold, turn, roll, fold, fridge, roll, fold, turn. roll......

The Indian cookbook has a recipe for Quick Puff pastry. I haven't tried it yet as it has the fold/roll deal and I'm not fond of that.

I was a bit against the fold roll deal but it is only a couple of folds and rolls....at least here in the north the butter incorporates pretty quickly.   Even with the small things desperate to help it wasn't too bad.

The child that finds many things 'too oily' declared that we were never buying pastry again it was so delicious.....the one that speaks little rubbed his wad of pastry all over his little naked torso then fell asleep for the night covered in butter - he smelt divine in the morning.

This said I would be keen for an easier recipe that does require less rolling.  I did think about having a go at Maggie's (The Cook and the Chef) sour cream pastry in the thermomix..... but then I was also thinking I might benefit from a little break from butter based recipes.

Maggie's sour cream pastry works a treat - when you're feeling like getting back to buttery things. 

With the puff pastry - it is best (from my understanding) to have fairly cold butter (not good in the tropics) - maybe even grate it over the dough - as you don't want it to actually blend with the flour mixture, but to remain as a separate layer.  Hope that makes sense?? :-))

heheh yep I was looking at doing the chicken sausage rolls when the tmx gets here but it said about rough chopped pastry... I suck at pastry but thought I'd give it a shot lol... if all else fails I have some filo in the freezer that they'd get instead lmao

I suck at pastry to Snoozie - well I did!!! Find it a breeze now with the TMX so good luck. I use the rough puff for my sausage rolls. The vegetarian ones are fantastic. I think they are in Cyndi O'Meara's book.

I had never made puff pastry before having a TMX and now I love making the rough one from the EDC.  My Mum was amazed that I could whip up my own puff pastry!  It get's easier each time I make it and doesn't take very long at all now.  I haven't had any problems making it - perhaps because I live in Tassie and the weather is often a little cooler.  :)

I also was surprised at how easy the rough puff pastry in the EDC was, having not made puff pastry before I was a bit hesitant but the sausage rolls turn out so professional which was a real good plug for the TMX - not me! :-))

After everyone's enthusiastic responses I will have to try this. Maybe an apple pie would be nice.
