PMAT Live! Episode 13: Working with Puff Pastry–The Riveting Conclusion to the Two-Part Puff Pastry Series

Posted on February 7, 2011 by Jennifer Field


I finally pulled myself together enough to finish the second part of the puff pastry video.  Once you see it, you will see where I Really Mess Up.  I debated about leaving all that out (editing is a very powerful Thing) so as to keep you guys all believing that I am Perfect and Awe-Inspiring.  But, I have feet of clay, and I am not too proud to let you guys see that.  Besides, if my mistakes help you Not Make Mistakes, then it’s all good.  Right? You’re still allowed to laugh at me a little, though.

Watch, enjoy and learn (not necessarily in that order).  Have a lovely day.

Oh, and if you missed Part 1 (PMAT Live! Episode 12), here it is: How to Make Puff Pastry

    Yay! Thank you! We used to bake sheets of puff for mmillefeuille/napoleons with at least one whole sheet pan on top to keep it from puffing too high or unevenly. That stuff has a mind of its own! Now I want palmiers.

    Great video as always Jenni. Thanks for the helpful tips on making puff pastry. I like the fact that you can show your oops moments too, as we all do have them, whether we are a pastry chef or home cook!

    I started the video and stopped it almost immediately. Your pastry was in a rectangle. I mean a real, live RECTANGLE. You know, with congruent sides and square corners and everything. HOW DO YOU DO THAT??????????? Groovy rolls out aomebas. Only aomebas!

      Lots of practice, and a bit of pulling and tugging! :) I have certainly experienced my share of Amoeba Days! lol

    Ok…Now I’ve seen the whole thing. The time lapse filming while they baked was amazing. If I make some i know I’m going to spend the whole time they’re baking just sitting in front of the oven window and saying, “Groooooovy!”
