Palmier

Palmier is such a tasty dessert with some tea or coffee. It is rather easy and quick to make and people always marvel at it as if it is a difficult dessert to make. This is one dessert you can control your sugar intake. You can make it as sweet as you want or not very sweet at all. It is flaking and crispy and fun to eat with a shape that is so different and that makes it look difficult to create.

Palmier's can be very addictive too, because they taste so good and are light and so satisfying if you have a sweet tooth. Just make sure the puff pastry dough is good quality like the Napoleon dough. They use the same kind of dough and if it is high quality then it will taste great. So be sure to buy a popular brand name when making these desserts. All you use is the puff pastry dough and some sugar and this creates an amazing dessert with tea or coffee.

Don't forget you control the amount of sugar you use, so if you have some restrictions on your sugar intake no worries you are in control of how much to add. Recipe's soon to come! Have a great week.

Napoleon Pastry

Hello Fellow Bakers, looking for a low sugar, yet delicious tasting pastry? Here is something that I made recently? In this post I am going to talk about a Strawberry Napoleon Pastry.

A French pastry that is one of my favorites, is the Strawberry Napoleon pastry. The pastry ingredients are strawberries, custard, puff pastry, and whipped cream. It makes one messy, but delicious dessert. If you want something light that contains low sugar but is extremely tasty, then Strawberry Napoleons are what you will certainly enjoy.

Strawberry Napoleons have three layers to it with puff pastry dough in between. There is the bottom layer which is filled with custard, a middle layer filled with whipped cream and strawberries and finally the top layer which is decorated with Powdered sugar (optional), whipped cream and strawberries. In another post I will talk about my style of making french custard. French custard is very different from your traditional custard that you see in most pastry and dessert aisle in restaurants. I use natural and high quality ingredients, so its healthy for you and is made in a unique way. Its like nothing you have tasted!!!

The strawberry napoleon is made from scratch, and that is why it taste so incredible! Yes you can even make the puff pastry dough from scratch if you want. However, if you want to make your baking a little bit faster and easier, puff pastry dough can be bought from the grocery store. Make sure you buy a popular brand name and not an unknown name. High quality ingredients is what makes your baking spectacular, so don't go cheap on materials and ingredients!

By the way, I am in the process of putting a French Recipe Book together that will have many pastry recipes. Feel free to write to me and ask questions. Until the next baking visit, remember high quality creates an amazing treat for the palate.
