Continue ReadingTo fill the genoise, I used a stabilized whipped cream which i make with 250grs mascarpone, about 300ml of heavy cream and a touch of pure vanilla extract. When I attended the workshop of chef @claire.heitzler organized by @thecreamlab.me, she gave us a tip: whip the cream on low to medium speed and then increase it gradually. That will avoid creating big bubbles and the whipped cream will therefore be more stable and less prone to deflating. Also, as always when whipping fresh cream, have your cream, your bowl and your whisks chilled to help whip it into a sifter cream. BY YASMINE…

Now imagine that the sablé breton is made using 95grs of pure French dairy butter per 125grs of flour! Can you imagine the scent? The flavor? I cant help…

Continue ReadingPart 1- Easy flakey sweet short crust pastry. I used to be scared of making pie doughs but this method is truly foolproof. Ideally use a food processor otherwise a pastry knife will do the trick. Cube your butter then keep it in the freezer for at least an hour before using it. Always pulse in short bursts.
