This week I decided it was time to learn how to make pastry. So I started with a quiche lorraine. |
| Flour, butter and a bit of water! Who knew!? |
Now, I was informed that I had to rest it for 30 minutes before rolling it out, so i done this and it was awfully dry. However, my roasting hands soon melted the butter a bit and it was eventually able to go into the tin.
 |
| Lined and lined and lined and lined... |
Then for the filling. I wasn't sure I liked Quiche Lorraine, but how can you go wrong with bacon and onion?!?!
 |
| Getting my bacon on. |
It smelled bloody amazing.
 |
| Pre-liquid. |
I then mixed some eggs to milk with salt and pepper, and thought "there's no way all that's going to fit in there!!!"
 |
| Got it in t'oven. |
But by jove it fitted!! Game one!!
 |
| It was a bit messy. |
After about 30 minutes, I took it out. And it was awesome looking. A bit messy looking, but awesome looking all the same!!
 |
| But then it became beautiful :) |
So now I know how to make pastry. I also made a treacle tart (breadcrumbs in a pudding, who'd have thunk it!) and took it into work - it got gobbled up with some skooshy cream and I felt really proud of myself!!
My next entry will likely be brownies, that I intend to try and make on Monday night to take to work on Tuesday. Let's see how that goes...
