Not being the biggest mustard fan, I admit to being somewhat wary of this week's recipe. However, having some puff pastry in my freezer and a jar of Dijon in my fridge, I gave it a whirl. I didn't measure anything very exactly, and just spread a thin layer of mustard on the puff pastry - this turned out to be perfect, flavourful, but not a kick in the face! This was definitely the quickest FFWD recipe yet, it took practically no time at all!
Good for you to give this a whirl. Next time I'll try a different kind of filler...like something sweet. The batons are a good idea just waiting for creativity.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree about this being quick and convenient, especially when guests drop by unannounced! Your batons look wonderfully lught and all puffed up.
ReplyDeleteDon't feel bad - even Dorie said she was resistant to this one until she tried it! Glad you gave it a go.
ReplyDeleteThese are seriously the easiest blank canvas recipe ever. I can't wait to try out some of the versions I've seen today!
ReplyDeleteI agree, it was so nice and quick!
ReplyDeleteIt was so easy! Yours look great!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the quickest FFwD recipe yet! It looks like yours turned out great!
ReplyDeleteWith recipes this easy there is really no excuse to not having something home made with cocktails ever again. Great job!
ReplyDeleteGood job trying something you weren't sure about. Sometimes you get a pleasant surprise! This was so easy and so elegant too.
ReplyDeleteGood for you for trying them when you were lukewarm on mustard! Nana and I are big mustard fans so we were on board all along. And after the eclair adventure, we were all the more delighted that the recipe was so incredibly easy. I can't wait to try these again with other savory options, not to mention some of the wonderful "sweet" ideas I have gotten from the Doristas.
ReplyDeleteI've been wary of a few of the recipes we've cooked, but have to admit each and every time I was pleasantly surprised! I think the Beggar's Linguine was the most difficult for me to go along with! But gee I am glad I persevered! I felt a bit suspicious of the mustard myself, but turned out great!
ReplyDeleteYou photos look great!
Those look beautiful! I took the tapenade route, but it sounds like the mustard ones have all turned out well. This is another great, infinitely variable recipe from Dorie.
