Hello family. LOVED THIS VIDEO. So fun! A couple things to keep rising… sausages are such a wonderful idea. Try adding a tiny bit of sage and fennel seed. Love you JoJo. You are so creative. Boba, pastry is made by crumble in flour so that when it hits heat, they explode and make it flaky. Try using All Veg Crisco and ALWAYS have all things super cold otherwise it won’t make layers. It will just all mix together like a cookie dough. Roll in half putting water or milk to “glue” the edge then use fork. The part you missed was to put knife slats on top for vents so when bubbling has somewhere to let heat out. I am so proud of you all. That was great!! I love how creative you all are. You make my day each video! God bless you all. Keep it up ❤

[@FamilyFreedom]

Thank you so much for all of the helpful tips!!! 😃

[@RaptureReady-p8f]

@@FamilyFreedom Hi again. Please, please show us how to make your curry Katie. I love learning from your gifts of cooking too.

[@tonycasey3183]

Hey, Bob. If you are using a soft spread for pastry, it helps if you freeze the spread first and grate it into the flour. Keeping everything as cold as possible, including your hands, always helps in making good pastry I find. Resting the dough helps the gluten to form and makes it less likely to crack when you roll it.

[@hollyb.2004]

You can chill the water with a few cubes of ice. When you are adding it, only do a few tablespoons at a time. The goal is to use as little water as possible to make the dough come together. Lastly, let the pastry get really chilled. The science behind it is that when the cold butter/oleo/spread begins to melt it creates air pockets that will give your dough lift and cause it to be tender/flaky. Awesome job for a first go!

[@FamilyFreedom]

Thanks so much for the helpful tips guys! 😃

[@marlenemoore4587]

Oh Jo Jo, my heart sunk when I saw you put the potatoes in the blender. Allay drain your potatoes a put them back in the pot and add your milk and mash by hand or use a hand mixer. This is how we all get better in the kitchen, learning from our mistakes. I love seeing you cook. 😊

[@FamilyFreedom]

Thanks for the tips Marlene! 😊

😊Me and my youngest really enjoy watching your family vids together and these challenges are so fun. An idea that maybe you could try combining Jo Jo's sausage recipe with Bob's pastry and make a sausage pasty. Anyway great vid as always and truly appreciate a genuine experience of real family living🌌🙏💝💫🕊🌸

I seal my pastry with water. Just a slight bit. Then come in with the sealing of the fork. This could help you with it. ❤️

[@trishdonley945]

You guys are so creative! I get so many ideas when you do these kinds of challenges! And you always surprise me! In America, flapjacks are another name for pancakes--often in the southern part of the country. And I have a friend who is a pastry chef. Her program focus was mostly on elaborate cakes with fancy decorations. Thank you for always entertaining me and keeping it real❤

[@karenminness6226]

Hi Bob , you can make pastry wrapped in cling and freeze . Also use water round the edges of pastry to seal it together xx

[@tonycasey3183]

JoJo wins! Top Tip for lovely smooth mash that doesn't turn to a paste (like it does in a blender) use an electric whisk instead. Also, for a sausage skin, use rice paper, wetted and rolled around the sausage. AND, if you are using cheap bread for breadcrumbs, you get a lovely texture if you toast the slices befor putting them in the processor.

[@alysoncocking1236]

@tonycasey3183 I use an electric whisk when I mash my potatoes. I found the processor made them too smooth. I like the idea of wrapping the sausages in wet rice paper. If ever I make sausages I'll try it

I really like these cooking videos. I often make what I call fridge-dregs meals with whatever is left at the end of the week and your videos are quite the inspiration. JoJo's addition of mint sauce is going in to my next mushroom bangers - I use similar seasonings, but with onion and sage added, but I am definitely switching the sage with mint sauce next time.
