Tuesdays with Dorie - Cottage Cheese Pufflets

Let me start out by saying I love cottage cheese.

I think it is one of the most perfect foods and I like to eat it with sweet and savory dishes.

Naturally, I was curious and excited to try the Cottage Cheese Pufflet recipe. Especially since it didn't have a picture.

I'll admit, I was a bit intimidated by the recipe because so many people had issues with the dough being so soft while rolling it out. To be honest, I didn't have any problems. I just let it chill for about 4 1/2 hours and it was great.

However, looking at everyone's results, I'm wondering if I failed to roll it thin enough. Either way mine turned out spectacular. I loved the taste and I loved the filling! I used some homemade peach-raspberry jam made with agave nectar, and store-bought apricot and blackberry jams.

Thanks Jacque for choosing this very cool recipe. I can't wait to bake the second half of my batch later this week! (It's in the freezer) Be sure to check out Jacque's blog, Daisy Lane Cakes for the recipe. And don't forget to check the Tuesdays with Dorie blogroll to see my fellow baker's pufflets.

I have to say--I'm very stoked for our the next five week's of baking. I get to make so many great desserts including: Chocolate-Crunched Caramel Tart, Split Level Pudding, Allspice Crumb Muffins, Sweet Potato Biscuits and a Cherry-Fudge Brownie Torte!

I'm glad these were a success for you. They look delicious! I didn't have a problem with the dough either. I just thought they were bland.

Yeeah, a success story! I'm so happy to hear these worked out so nicely for you. That has not been a common theme this week.

Yours look perfectly cute and delicious!


Thanks for baking along this week.
