A Day Late and A Dollar Short


By Rtemis (Visit website)



So the 27th of September was two (almost three) days ago. This was the deadline for the Daring Baker's Challenge for September. I've been more of an absent baker than a daring baker as of late. But, I'm hoping to get back on track. I consider two days late a pretty good start.

The September 2009 Daring Bakers' challenge was hosted by Steph of A Whisk and a Spoon. She chose the French treat, Vols-au-Vent based on the Puff Pastry recipe by Michel Richard from the cookbook Baking With Julia by Dorie Greenspan.

I, (oops), forgot to check what the challenge was until the 28th of September. Whoopsie. Time flies when you are juggling a million things, plus it was Yom Kippor. Needless to say, I took the puff pastry dough I made a couple months ago out of the freezer. The recipe I use is very similar to that of the challenge so I figured I'd save myself a little time. I know, I know. I'll check the challenge reveal promptly on the 1st of October.

I filled my Vols-au-Vent with a most scrumptious lemon mousse. The recipe comes from the Barefoot Contessa, with a few alterations. I saw a recipe for lemon mousse that included beer so I threw in a little hefeweizen beer to give the mousse a little zip. I promise I'll post the recipe soon. Right now I need to take my weary self to bed. Didn't matter how much mousse I ate (ie. sugar) nothing can keep me awake...not even lemon mousse!
