Baking will always be a challenge for me. Some might look easy for me and some are not. It was a dream to make perfect bread. I battled with the yeast beast many times and I finally won. Taking my dream to a higher level, puff pastry dough came into the scene. I love love croissants, especially the ones with almond and chocolate. Whenever I eat them, I always wish that I could make them someday. I thought that I should learn how to make puff pastry dough first, but I was scared not to get it right. I haven’t pulled my big girl pants yet… until FF #100 came. Fiesta Friday #100 came more of a challenge to me because I wanted to bring one of my best efforts and one of my best experiences. My cousin patiently listened to some of the delicious stuffs I wanted to bring and we ended up with vol au vents. Why vol au vents, you ask? This was inspired by one of the challenges in GBBO during the pastry week. (Hi, Elaine! Thanks for telling me about it.) The vol au vents came out very flaky and delicious. I could just eat them like that or dunk them in chocolate sauce. I also love the chicken a la king filling because the filling was not too runny and it complimented the puff pastry cases. This might take a long time to do, but it’s worth every second. I am definitely working with puff pastry dough again. 😉 I am proud and more than happy to share this with my friends and family here at Fiesta Friday #100 hosted by the amazing Angie with the help of our four lovely co-hosts, Aunt Juju, Ginger, Mollie and Suzanne. I can’t say thank you enough to Angie who has always been so welcoming and who made this amazing weekly party possible. Looking forward to another year of droolicious foods and amazing friendship!
