Have you ever made Pate a Choux? Pate a Choux is a light pastry dough with a high moisture content that steams when baking which creates the puff. The ingredients for Pate a Choux include flour, fat, salt and eggs. Light, airy and puffy they are just delicious. Products can be sweet or savory.
Croissants by Hobby Hill Farm Fresh

Chevre Goat Cheese Recipes
I must admit I am not a fan of this favorite goat milks cheese named Chevre.

Chevre also runs the flavor gamut, with some retaining a characteristic goaty flavor while other chevres are much more mild and buttery.
Cream Cheese Dipping Sauce
This past weekend we made countless dozens of Cinnamon Rolls. I just wish I could have this for our Pretzels as it is DIVINE! I love a good cream cheese frosting on my cinnamon buns, my carrot cakes and my apple spice breads. I have been thinking of a way to offer this with our pretzels.
Whole-Grain Guinness Mustard
Mustard is not just for hot dogs. This a great recipe for our Gourmet Pretzels. Add this to your favorite smoked-cured meats and consider it a home-run. Balanced earthy flavor with a touch of sweetness plus caramelized onions and peppers.
