At first I was not so into these (when we first made them) but these were very good. They grew on me. Especially liked them warm, like Rose mentions.
'The Lulu' was with me for moral support.
'What has it got in its nasty little pocketsess?' (Butter!)
My interpretation of Roses' initial folding of the sides etc.
I don't have time to a wait an hour between each rolling. I waited 20 minutes.
(But we have all the time in the world down here in the dark, don't we my precious?)
The dough was still perfectly workable. Except for the last two squares that really had to be put in for another five minutes after I rolled and folded the others. Next time I'll stick the whole divided rectangle in the fridge and take them out to roll and fold one at a time.
Reminded me of making kreplach.
I put two or three in each pan since they seemed a bit small.
After a toast in 'The Kafka Machine' (my toaster).
'Is it nice? Is it tasty? Is it scrumptiously crunchable? Yes, Yes.'
My father reading to the kids, brings back memories of him reading me the Hobbit as a little boy.
These look great Mendy. Interesting that you only had to wait 20 minutes between folds and it worked out. I must try that next time
ReplyDeleteHi Mendy, I see that your little helper lulu is have fun, your Kouigns Amann pastries look very good and they look delicious!
ReplyDeleteYour kids are growing so fast! I love all the Hobbit references. Nice to know the pastry can handle only 20 min rests.
ReplyDeleteMendy, they look great! Yours are lucky children to have a loving grandpa investing in their lives! I'm so glad to be baking along with you.
ReplyDeleteMendy, they look great (the Kouign and the kiddos). Ez man is so big now! I love your Gollum interpretation :).
ReplyDeleteThey look great Mendy! It's so nice to see how your children have grown. Love the hobbit references too!! Stop by and see my post if you have a chance.

Mendy,
ReplyDeleteI thought I'd posted a comment but I may be losing my mind instead. I remember thinking how much kids grow in 3 years and how your Kouigns look so pretty even though you say you just tossed the dough in willy-nilly. So that's my comment.
Mendy.. still amazed of what you do with a toaster over (you sir keep me grounded, specially when I yell at my big oven) - for real, and I have to share all the sentiments - your kids are just so big - where did the time go? Glad to baking together.

ReplyDeleteThank you all for your lovely comments. Glad to be baking again with all of you.
Hi Mendy
ReplyDeleteYou have such a practical approach to cooking - nothing seems to faze you. Those Kouign look delicious.
Your children are lovely - the photo with your father reading to them is heartwarming.

Hi Mendy! That is the sweetest picture of your children with their grandfather. Can the littlest one really be your "baby"? I have to know, did you bake these in the infamous toaster oven?

DeleteYes, indeed. In the infamous toaster. :)
