Palmiers. I thought I'd venture into pastry. It's never been a strong point. My shortcrust pastry is passable. I saw the recipe for Palmiers and it got me going. I was pleased how they came out, they could be better though. I'm going to re-name them Faffiers, because you really need to faff to get them made.
These too didn't last long. As the recipe said, they are nice with a hot drink. They are also tasty with ice cream. Again I'd make them again, when I'm feeling up to it. They need some time and patience. I did add some mixed spice, which worked well.
Today I tried making Macarons. Disaster. I won't be trying to make them again. Trust me! Next time I shall be sticking with cupcakes and spongy type stuff!

what's faff?
Faff is to spend time doing not much, a bit like messing around; or to do alot or to take many steps to do something, to waste time and not acheive much in the end, when perhaps you should be doing something else. 'To faff about' . To employ on a worthless task that lasts all day.
