Our croissants are out of the oven, and smell delicious.
Making Croissants: Shaping and Baking
Our first batch of croissants have just gone into the oven.
Making Croissants: Layering the Butter
The yeast in the dough has spent the day working away, and turned the cling film parcel into a balloon.
Making Croissants: Preparing the Dough
The first thing on the agenda this morning was making the croissant dough.
Making Croissants: Rolling Butter
This evening we started the three-day process of making croissants.
Lemon Frozen Yoghurt
We have finished eating the delicious lemon frozen yoghurt we made recently. This was my second frozen yoghurt attempt. My first attempt was vanilla, and while nice, it was nowhere near as exciting as the lemon.

My Mille Feuille Experiment (and Recipe)
Our French dessert for this weekend was mille feuille. Mille feuille is a French version of vanilla slice, made with layers of pastry and crème pâtissière. It was one of our regular favourites in France.
Making Profiteroles
Having recently discovered we can successfully make croissants from scratch, I have been wondering what other French delights we can make. This weekend, we embarked on coffee profiteroles.
