MethodEither make pastry or buy it ready made. Put all the ingredients in a basin until the butter melts. Roll out the pastry thinly "eighth inch" and cut into rounds. Put a good tsp of mixture into each round. Damp the edges and bring together into a bag shape. Squeeze the edges of the pastry to seal and turn over. Roll gently until the currents begin to show through. Mark with a knife in squares. Brush over with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Bake in a hot oven for 15 - 20 minutes. 400F gas mark 8. My mother would always make her own pastry but these days ready made flaky pastry is so good that it saves a lot of time to buy it at the supermarket. I always keep a supply in my freezer.
However flaky pastry in France is rubbish so I bring it from the UK or on a rainy day I make my own. |
