Like all of the bakers, I hadn’t heard of Puits d’Amour either so I was intrigued to try them out this weekend. I also have to admit that I’m not sure I have ever made a creme pat and I think the last time I made choux pastry was when I was at school! So this week was definitely a new challenge! Click
Prue’s recipe can be found here. I managed to get most of the prep done while Rich took Emily out to the garden centre and it’s amazing how much you can get done when you’re not baking with a toddler! Once Emily got home she insisted on helping with the remaining bits and helped me cut out the puff pastry and brush the tops with egg.
The recipe did take a while as there were so many stages but they tasted really yummy! I didn’t manage to buy the nibbed sugar to sprinkle over the top and don’t have a blow torch so the end result didn’t look quite as good as it should have done but they still tasted great.
