Naturally I couldn't sleep so the obvious solution Roxanne-style was to bake something! As absurd as this sounds, this is typical behaviour of me. Funny how I could never get up in the middle of the night after a "power-nap" to study for exams yet I can stay up for hours cooking!
So it was time to expand my baking repertoire a little. I had bought some brioche moulds that were on sale at an obscure little Indian catering supplies/haberdashery store ($3 for 12 - and they came with 12 tartlet tins too, how awesome is that?!) and I wanted to finally use them!
I was disappointed in the result :( They paled in comparison to the buttery clouds that I had sampled in Paris. They tasted like really dry, stale, flavourless sponge cake. Paul had no negative feedback to give me after breakfast this morning though, so I suppose they can't have been THAT bad!
Anyway, here they are. You be the judge!

| Not the deep brown I was expecting. I used a fair amount of egg/milk wash before baking too! |
