French Fridays with Dorie again. So, here’s what I made last week — yeah, I have to pay closer attention to the schedule! But regardless, these were delicious!
Things I learned/notes:
1. Super easy to make a half recipe here.
2. I used a mix of mustards — a stone ground one and a double dijon.
3. I also used a mix of poppy seeds on some and sesame seeds on the others. I liked both but I kind of loved the sesame seeds.
4. Next time I must try this with olive tapenade. And maybe some Parmesan cheese. Ohhh, or roasted garlic. Okay, lots of options here! I know what I’d doing with that other sheet of puff pastry in the freezer.
5. These are almost embarrassingly easy for how wonderful they are!
Here’s a link to all the Mustard Baton posts! And below, my pictures.
Mustards.
Puff pastry rolled out, mustard applied.
Sliced (I used a pizza cutter), egg washed, and seeds applied.
Fresh from the oven.
Yummy, I’m all over these! I can’t help but notice, you look like you gave the most amazing spice rack in your kitchen. I could be wrong, but if that’s a spice rack, I’m getting my hubby to make me a similar one!
Maya: Thanks! Ha, yeah! That’s ‘spice rack central’ on the back of the basement door. Just got a bunch of cheap wire rack shelves and drilled them into the door. It’s nice, because I can basically keep going if needed, the whole length of the door
Nice looking batons…love your mustard.
Sounds like with all those great ideas you have that you need more than one sheet of puff pastry!
Looks delicious! I love how easy this was. I could make these all the time, and I’m loving all the variations that I’m seeing on all the Dorie posts.
Fabulous process photos! I still can’t get my lighting right in my kitchen. But yours are beautiful.
I love that you mixed the mustards together. They look great.
I love how yours turned out! I wanted to try sesame seeds but was worried they wouldn’t show up in pictures but now that I see yours, I see that I was wrong! I’ll definitely be trying it next time!
Doesn’t get better than this! I love the great color and ooomph you got on your batons!
I agree with everything in your list. I made a half batch myself. I like the idea of the grainy mustard and will add that to my own list of variations to try.
Great photos – my 17 year old and his visiting friend walked past the computer and said your batons looked “amazing”. I think they are trying to get me to make more
Nana and I had a blast making these and we will definitely be revisiting this one. Sounds like you will be enjoying trying new options as well. I am excited to try some sweet options as well (as usual). Another wonderful French Friday….
I mixed up the recipes recently too- so easy to do. I love the way the poppy seeds look on these. lovely
I am so glad I am not the only one who gets confused…
Your photos look great!
Great photos! I think I’d like the sesame ones best, too. These really are easy and full of possibilities.
