Hi Yoo Lee,

I did 4 - folds x 3 times.

When you roll, make sure you don't roll too thin and burst the pastry. Once the pastry margarine ooze out from the dough, it's a sure failure. Rest the dough in-between rolling so that it's pliable and easier to handle.

Hi Aunty,

Love your puff pastry, so flaky. Learned this during my sec school time abt 20 years ago. It so much work, rolling, folding and resting. So I love to eat it but not making it. Saw that you had post the Fillipino Buttercake, may I know is it taste the same as normal butter cake? Wow I also amazed by your double egg yolks. The whole egg must has weight around 90g each. I only seen this once in my whole life. Where I had two double egg yolks in a tray of egg and they were so small.

Hi Liying,

The filipino butter cake is just like any ordinary cake. It's light but the taste is not buttery enough for my liking.

I love to make puff pastry. So full of fun.

Very well done puff pastry! So puffy-ly good!

Hi Little Corner of Mine,

this puff pastry is a little different from the usual normal puff pastry that I used to do. I used the cut diced pastry margarine to go into the flour and water mixture.

Hi Aunty,

Thanks for your concern. I really appreciate it.

My Dad passed away on the first day of Chinese New Year and worst, we were not by his side when he passed away. It was all because of the irresponsible 'Tan Tock Seng Hospital' nurse. They neglected their duties. They were supposed to check on patient every hourly but they didn't check on my dad for the past two and half hours from their record shown. One of the nurse said they did check 'but' forgotten to record down. When they checked on him 'then' he already left last breath. We are still very angry of the whole incident. And on their part they just offer us a basket of flower and fruits as a condolence.

Don't understanding why this kind of thing will happen. Understand people will make mistake but this cause a life.

Oh Liying,

My condolence....

Ya..sometimes nurses do make mistakes. Must be short of staff because of the Chinese new Year hols and that caused the lost of loved ones.

Take care and rgds,

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi yoo-lee,

you need to roll it flat and then do the 3-fold or 4-fold.
