Day 19: Paillettes (Cheese Straws)

Puff the Magic Pastry...

So we just started on Puff Pastry! It's rather interesting, but definitely a labor intensive dough to make! I can see why people charge a lot for Napoleon and things like that... Most of the class we spent just making the dough. The only thing we were able to complete was the Cheese Straws which were quite yummy. Our teacher said that they should be a little spicy so that it will make people drink more. Apparently, it's nice to serve these at the bar of restaurants so that they buy more drinks! =) Anyway, I'm not too much into spice, though I did put some in. Maybe next time we have a party, I'll make some of these for snacks...
