Pastry & Bullsh*t

Few things in the world please this baker more than Notorious B.I.G. One possible contender is butter-heavy pastry products. So imagine the joy in the Bakery when this was stumbled across whilst making these Danish pastries. French hip-hop fiend Just Dizle has put together a mind-melting mix of Notorious tracks, as comprehensive as it is compelling.

It's a school night after a week-long blow-out, so alas pastry is all that's being baked - but here's how to enjoy it sans chronic:

1. Make the pastry, whilst hiding from the distress contained within Eastenders
2. Check that the recipe call for an entire pack of butter is correct
3. Add the horrifying amount of butter into the middle of the pastry thing and try not to visualise a large buttery gravestone
4. Roll it about like the recipe says whilst getting lost in a BIG-influenced reverie
5. Watch in dismay as all of said butter melts onto your sideboard
6. Take influence from the lyrics and salvage mixture (ideally whilst imagining it is a "batch" of "crack" being "cooked"
7. Add more butter in the middle (no, really)
8. Leave for 30 mins and do not treat yourself to a mid-cookery victory bifta
9. Having not had a mid-cookery victory bifta and remembered to check on the whirls in the oven on time, do not weep as you disinter the charred remains
10. Give up and have a crumpet.

Rest in peace Christopher Wallace. And go bollocks, BBC Good Food. Photo-narrative after the jump...

Sausage-based guilt



I defy anyone to find a breakfast more guilty. The only way to eat this is in the street like a tramp. Otherwise you aren't living life properly
