Coconut Tarts and Brittany Puff Pastry Biscuits

Attended my first lesson with Richard Goh today and he taught us the Rich Chocolate Cake and Coconut Tarts. Instead of a cake tin, he uses muffin cups to bake the chocolate cake for easy distribution. Personally I did not find it very fantastic, maybe because it is supposed to be ate chilled and we ate it at room temperature.

However, the coconut tart is very tasty so I can't help it but went to get the ingredients after class and came home to bake some. Looks good right?

Been wanting to try the Brittany Puff Pastry Biscuits from Aunty Yochana's blog since I like pastry. I even borrowed some metal cookie cutters just to bake this biscuits as I did not have enough cookie cutters to bake them in. It is indeed fluffy and melts-in-the-mouth! Yummy!

But one thing to note is that this biscuits rises quite a fair bit so it is better to have a thinner dough. When I baked my first batch, I did not know this as the recipe did not state the thickness of the dough, end up the biscuits rises higher than the height of the cookie cutters. Nevertheless, it is still very tasty.
