Well, there speaks the person who has never made these! Pastry is an absolute doddle by comparison. :rolleyes: This was tough. I've made them, but I think that they won't stand two minutes out of the fridge. Not exactly transportable! :mad:If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.0 -

No, but I have polished off the mixture. It's fab! :j
These would have been brilliant if they were of a firmer consistency. I followed the instructions, as always, to the letter. I'm not sure what the problem is.

I've made far too many before. Not using that recipe, mind you. Sounds too liquid to me. Ah well, as long as it tastes good. They look good, too. :Tmrbadexample wrote:Well, there speaks the person who has never made these! Pastry is an absolute doddle by comparison. :rolleyes: This was tough.

Thank you! Have you any recommendations for making them firmer? What's gone wrong here?
I think the rum truffles will be better because the cake crumbs will aid cohesion.If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.0
