TWD: cottage cheese puffletts

So, despite the instructions on the site to "be patient" and let the dough chill and all that fun stuff, I was not in the patient dough-making mood after the crazyness with my health and the office, so these are a mess. I didn't even bother trying to form them. i just rolled them out between my pastry mat and some wax paper, dropped a dollup of jam on them, and folded, rolled, or squished the dough together. Oh well. I knew these would just be for me so I made a small batch.



So how were they? umm....delicious! The dough is just right (though it did not puff at all...I really don't get the name of these...). I like the tanginess f/m the cottage cheese and it went really well with the raspberry jam that I had in the fridge. (maybeI like it so much b/c one of my favorite guilty pleasure snacks is cream cheese & jam on ritz crackers).

I honestly could have eaten the whole plate of these things. they were so good right out of the oven. I don't think that the rolling out process was worth it though...i'm not sure how these could be done better...maybe more like slice-and-bakes? Or even molded into tartlets in a mini muffin tin?

    I'm glad you liked them! I took the same approach as you with some of mine...I cut them out, slapped on the filling, and squished them shut! And I think you're on to something, with your idea of molding them in a muffin tin.

    First...saw your post about grilled cheese and tomato soup and couldn't agree more. Hope you are feeling better!! I skipped this one this week, but I hope to find the gumption to try it soon.

    Thanks for the tart shell idea! I think I can at least press them into submission a bit. I'll let you know. Grilled cheese + tomato soup = one of the best meals ever. I agree that these are good but just not worth the effort. Ah well.

    I love your plate of pufflets and their different shapes! I had the same experience with you - puffless pufflets. But I thought they were delicious too! =)
    Hee hee - I was patient with my dough with the chilling/rolling/chilling/freezing and mine still came out looking unformed!

    Molded in a tart pan. Now THAT sounds like the way to go. These were awfully troublesome. Good, but troublesome.
