So it’s week 2 of the bake off and we’re still getting over excited by all the baked goods and innuendos. This week for our bake off themed bake we decided to attempt the technical challenge, Arlettes.


Arlettes are a type of french biscuit made from puff pastry, rolled up with sugar and cinnamon. Once sliced they are rolled again to make them very flat which allows them to get lovely and crispy in the oven. We fortunately had slightly more detailed instructions to follow whilst making these than the contestants!

We don’t think that under Paul and Mary’s scrutiny we’d have made the top spot in the technical challenge, but we’re still pretty pleased with the outcome and they taste great!
