Calendar of seasons

A disadvantage of supermarkets is that we are no longer accustomed to taking account of seasons. We find it normal buy strawberries in December or pumpkins in July. Of course it's sometimes fun, but the problem is that this produce comes from very far away, possibly grown under glass without any...

Hi,I'm not sure to understand what is a shoe sole, sorry, and Google translate told me about real shoe only, I guess this not your aim?Would it be, possibly, a kind of flat pastry, made with puff pastry? If so, it could be this recipe : apple semelles (flat apple tarts)?Come back to me if I'm wrong.

Hi, I was trying to get your recipe for shoe soles. For some reason I can’t search it on your web page:(.

Unfortunately it's quite impossible, you can just reduce (a bit) the loss of crispy texture.
6 or 7 minutes at 400°F seems to be a short time, try to reduce temperature and increase time.

I have been baking a cinnamon/sugar recipe called "Elephant Ears' or "Shoe Soles". They are a pastry similar to a palmier. They come out nice and crispy after baking about 6 or 7 minutes at about 400 degree in a convection oven. How can I maintain that crispy texture overnight?
