The recipe instructions may be long, but don't fret. The dough-making was the laborious part, and all that's left is to roll it out and roll up the chocolate in it. The proofing method is kind of bizarre, but was easy enough. Updated note: I'm glad everyone likes the green cups, but they're espresso cups, not teacups -- just to give you an idea of how small the cups and pains actually are.
If your dough refuses to roll out and springs right back into place, let it rest in the refrigerator for 10 minutes or so. I hate doing that because I want to be done with a task pronto, but it won't behave otherwise. In the end, my rectangle was still an inch short because of the springy dough, but what the hey. The pains still looked good to me!
I got Sarabeth's Bakery as a Christmas gift, and these and the Pains aux Raisins are the first recipes I have tried from it. I'm looking forward to trying more!
