This looks really and I will try it. But why can't I add it to my Favorite Recipes so I find it later?
Very nice but this is a recipe for pate a choux, not puff pastry
How many pastries is this supposed to make. Also do you cook the fig filling first or just mix and fill?
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought it wasn't pate feuillete...
Looks really yummy. And simpler than puff pastry.
I cannot get the dough to form into a ball and roll out?
HELP!
