The Prep
The ingredient list wasn't bad - nothing too rouge or niche! At last. Although, didn't have baking beans or cutters - so had to improvise with rice and a gin glass. Lavish I know!
The Bake
Now I would say they look relatively simple, however there were a lot of different components and if this was timed I would probably have nothing to present - so all is well I didn't have to have a breakdown on national TV -but instead pansy around my Kitchen for 5 hours wondering where the tine had gone.
I actually really enjoyed the process - a lot of firsts. Never made curd - so simple! Milk and vinegar, but it really does look gross.. it curdles - and it all makes sense now. Made lemon curd, different thing also very simple! And rough puff, haven't done in a long time.
The Result
I was really happy with them actually, they tasted better than they looked. And considering everyone's on the actual bake off was probably just as poor I felt chuffed (although I did have endless time and the recipe - but hey ho). And I did get some rave reviews, which for the first time I agreed! I brought them into the office and became very popular, it was nice to give something I was actually quite proud of. I know what I am bringing to my next review meeting.
