We just learned how to make croissants from scratch in class today. Strangely enough, though I love baking and cooking in general, I've never made puff pastry dough before. I've always just bought it. Weird right?
Anyway, I'm posting to let everyone in Bathos who might hear me know that the suspicious pounding noises are not, in fact, someone abusing their spouse, child, or pet. It's actually just me beating my butter to a pulp.
If for some reason this beating disturbs what you're doing or is loud and disruptive, feel free to let me know, I will gift you with chocolate-filled croissants. Homemade chocolate-filled croissants. Also, be comforted in the fact that I'll be getting out of your hair eventually--I'm moving to Aubade soon!
