What are you been cooking today

Caramel Apple Pudding and Belgium Lemon Teacake.

Please advice needed.
Halloween, lol
I bought 4 cookie cutters & tried to make puffs.
They taste great but the detail isnt good & too much filling. I used puff pastry, should I have used shortcrust.

Any ideas to make them better

[Amy :-)]

Oh dear Hally, they look a bit deformed lol

I had a similar problem recently with my cookies. They just seem to bulge

I think you should try the shortcrust, it won't puff as much as puff

[Halex]

Yes I will try with shortcrust. I used pizza sauce & too much cheese.

Will have to buy pastry as I cant roll atm. Food budget is going to be over

Want to make lots of different things for party & also for trick or treaters

Another 15 ltrs of raw milk this morning - guess its another day for ricotta. Love making ricotta, it tastes so much better than the bought stuff.

[Halex]

SueJen, nothing  better than home made ricotta.

Made these again with shoetcrust pastry & less filling.
Still cant see the outlines of the cookie cutter.
May have to make crackers for the dips instead with the cutters.

[Amy :-)]

They're definitely better than the last ones Hally. I think they're very cute

Are crackers going to be harder for you to make?

Amy, now trying pies, going to try & do a scary face, wont give up, want to do nice halloween stuff. The short crust didnt taste as good as the puff, less filling too.

[Amy :-)]

Good luck Hally, I'm glad you're not giving up
I don't suppose you could leave a wider border around the outside of the pies so you could trim around the design and neaten it up?

[Halex]

They are in the pie maker now, chicken & veg pie

[Amy :-)]

Fingers crossed

[obbie]

[Halex]

Scary ghoulish pies

[Amy :-)]

 

Great work Hally!!
