Readers without a mixer, there is hope!<BR/>In my second test, I used the cool but pliable butter method decribed in your recipe. Stay tuned for the results.michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04233787524192046136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056376.post-1141603856401046932006-03-05T19:10:00.000-05:002006-03-05T19:10:00.000-05:00do you already have a follow-up test recipe? i've ...do you already have a follow-up test recipe? i've made this one a couple of times recently (by hand, no less), & been pretty damn happy with the results:<BR/><BR/>http://labellecuisine.com/features/Brioche%20(Vive%20la%20belle%20France!).htm<BR/><BR/>it's super detailed & also addresses the hard-butter quandary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056376.post-1141493935986490622006-03-04T12:38:00.000-05:002006-03-04T12:38:00.000-05:00Hello there, readers.

Brioche pans are totally unecessary, but they are nice. Good luck.michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04233787524192046136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056376.post-1141331864874195662006-03-02T15:37:00.000-05:002006-03-02T15:37:00.000-05:00can you suggest an alternative if one doesn't have...can you suggest an alternative if one doesn't have a brioche pan - you defintiely need something to contain the dough I guess, yeah, or can you make a mound on a baking sheet without it spreading out flat? -k.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056376.post-1140912273373778702006-02-25T19:04:00.000-05:002006-02-25T19:04:00.000-05:00Awesome.
