These came about as a combination of a hungry toddler and mum; and what was left in the fridge!
Here is what I used,
2 inches at the end of some ready rolled puff pastry, cut into inch squares. This will make 8 pastries.
handful of raisins
2 dried apricots chopped up small
1tsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
grated rind of small orange
milk to glaze
● pre heat oven to 180°c
●lay out pastry squares on a baking tray covered in baking paper.
●mix everything else except the milk in a bowl and put a small teaspoon of the mixture in the middle of each pastry square.
● pickup each corner of the pastry and fold into the centre, use wet fingers so the corners (now in the middle) stay stuck down.
●brush over the milk ( or dab with your fingers if you dont have a pastry brush) and dust over some more cinnamon.
● cook in the oven for ten minutes until golden brown.
Lovely with a cup of tea, but this time the little man ate most.
Will have to go get some more pastry!
Plein Temps Tout?
Roughly translates as 'full time everything!' Leading such a busy life, like so many of us. It's easy to fall into the trap of convenience over quality. But ready meals, sauces in jars and processed food always tasted a bit naff to me. Now cooking from scratch is a big part of my home life and I'm always out to convert people who think they can't, for a number of reasons. I'm always inspired to try new ideas and flavours, and when things work I'll put them on here, alongside some classics of course!
