Pastry was my nemesis!
There Ive said it!
I have tried in the past and it has always hated me, Im sure it was personal, so I refused to bake anything with pastry again……….until I realised I need to conquer this dilema once and for all!
I rang my mum today to ask if she could give me a hand to get this ‘problem’ under control…Well. you know how it is, no sooner had I put down the phone then I got the urge to try and bake some pastry….just to prove how pants I was and work out where I needed the help!!
I recruited a little helper, so with her bowl and whisk at the ready we set about making a lemon meringue pie
(yeah you guessed it, I dont set easy challenges and concidering my last meringue slid out of the bottom of the oven door as it was too runny…well, least said the better eh?) lolWe blind baked, we make lemon filling, we whisked those meringues until we could whisk no more and look what happened…
…Im not sure if it was my little helper, the fact I was out to prove a point or I was just damn lucky today but something went right and boy was it delicious!
