FUN FACT:
Especially when I was younger, I had a lot of OCD-like fixations. I get the impression that this is not at all uncommon among our crowd.
Here's one of them: https://www.google.com/search?q=muisjes+oranje&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi_ktbEi-TVAhVgHGMKHaMzAwMQ_AUICigB&biw=1506&bih=947
I love orange muisjes. I have absolutely no idea why these in particular, but every now and then when I'm stressed out, I do a search for "muisjes oranje" and I feel a lot better.
*blush*
Also these. They don't have the awesome hindbrain-pleasing granularity that muisjes do, but "tompouce oranje" at least gives search results with a more pleasing color consistency.
*blushes harder*
@zebratron2084 they look vaguely like orange-icinged Twinkies... and tasty! tempted to try figuring out how to make 'em gluten-free... except that I'm pretty terrible at cooking in general. >__<
Hmmm. Maybe if we catch @literorrery on a slow enough day and make big enough eyes at her... XD
@zebratron2084 @green @Elanna @kauko Quick mental deconstruction: From https://glutenfreeonashoestring.com/all-purpose-gluten-free-flour-recipes/ and https://glutenfreeonashoestring.com/gluten-free-phyllo-dough-fillo-spanakopita/, plus some quick mental notes, I can probably make a 66/22/12 rice/corn/tapioca flour blend into a phyllo approximant. Making phyllo's time-consuming but not hard and I can outsource the labor once I have the recipe right.
@literorrery @kauko @Elanna @green Ooh, yeah, that was the main thing I was curious about -- whether non-wheat flours had the proper mojo at the molecular level to make good layered pastry... Thanks!
And correct, as far as I can tell a tompouce is just a slightly simpler napoleon/mille-feuille, with just two layers of pastry instead of two.
@zebratron2084 @green @Elanna @kauko ... two?
