Also, everything else they make there is unbelievably delicious. Best pastries in the city.

I'll have to give that method a whirl. Pun intended.

From a recipe by Paul Hollywood. The nasty thing is that the recipes given to the contestants don't have all the instructions in detail. For instance, it only said to add the sugar to one of the folds but not which one. Some of the bakers added it early and the sugar was incorporated into the dough too soon and did not stay as a distinct layer.

Here is the full Paul Hollywood recipe for anyone brave enough to try it:

My problem is that one of these would be about two days calories for me right now. I watch the show but can't try any of the recipes - in fact it is a good thing that I don't consider myself a good enough baker to even attempt most of the recipes they show!

They look utterly professional

You should see how magnificent some of my flops are.
