These are sort of like mini triangle scrolls filled with garlic butter

I didn't get this recipe  ???

It was only after I started making this I realised that the dough required 160g of oil.  This seemed like a lot of oil to me, especially as 250g of butter was also required for the filling.   So unhealthy :o  

The dough also had yeast included, but you didn't leave the dough to rise at any stage (which I didn't really understand).
The dough was easy to work with and rolled out nicely (probably due to all the oil!).  It actually reminded me of when I played with play-dough with my nephews.

I had to cook them for twice as long as the recipe stated, as they were quite undercooked in the middle.  Once they were cooked, they didn't taste very nice  :(  

Unfortunately the recipe made 56 triangles (53 of which have been taken outside by my OH and buried!).

Sorry Pavla from the Czech Republic...your recipe looks nice in the book.  I don't know if it was me, or the recipe was lost in translation, but they weren't a success.

Oh no Katie, that certainly was a disaster.  I don't recall that recipe so will check it out when you bring the book back.  Better luck with the next recipe.

Oh how sad. What a waste.

I thought all of the recipes come from the Thermomix recipe community websites.

Yes, that's the general idea.

The book says all the recipes have been tested. Like I said it could have been me. I have re-read the recipe & I'm sure I followed it correctly though.

The review is just how I found this one recipe, not the whole book. I'm still going to try more recipes from the book & hopefully will have a better result!

Does not sound very nice at all.
