Cooking Class: Master Puff Pastry Treats With Chef Elena
Discover how versatile puff pastry can be in this dessert-driven cooking class.
Chef Elena will teach you how to make puff pastry from scratch to use in a variety of sweet treats. You'll begin the class by combining flour, butter, sugar and salt to make a rough puff pastry dough from scratch. Then, learn the technique to knead the dough lightly. You'll use your puff pastry to make little berry pies with fresh strawberries, blueberries and raspberries. Then, finish with a dollop of homemade vanilla whipped cream. Next, make crispy palmier cookies dusted with cinnamon and brown sugar for a delicate French sweet. Finally, layer your pastry with butter, cocoa powder and dark chocolate to make dark chocolate twists, finished with a sprinkling of powdered sugar.
