Apple & Thyme Fat Sausage Rolls
The humble sausage roll in all it’s glory. It’s a staple in our household, especially for my Fiancé. I think he would eat them everyday if he could! I adore a homemade sausage roll, but I mainly made these for him. I like either a mini sausage roll or a massive one, preferably the size of my hand. These are elevated by making a gorgeously buttery rough puff pastry and, although you can use shop-bought puff pastry in a pinch, I think it’s completely worth the extra effort.
My ultimate Seeded Mustard Cheese Straws
My ultimate cheese straws are golden with crisp cheesy edges and a soft middle chock full of mustardy salty cheese. I love the crunch they make as you snap into them and that nutty flavour from the toasted seeds.
Slovenia - Kremna Rezina
This deliciously creamy pastry originates from Lake Bled in Slovenia. It's a pretty straight forward recipe but does require quite a few steps and some forethought as it needs time to set in the fridge. Similar pastries are eaten around the world. It particularly reminds me of a vanilla slice in the UK, which is one of my favourites. Two layers of crisp, buttery pastry filled with a set vanilla custard and fresh cream.
Portugal - Pastéis de Nata
These gorgeous golden custard tarts are utterly irresistible. From their rich sweet filling to the crisp flaky pastry, what's not to love?
