Things to do with pastry trimmings…

CHEESE STRAWS

Roll short or puff pastry offcuts lightly, with some grated cheese, shape into long strips. Form a couple of the strips into a ring.

Bake with the other pastry items. When cooked thread the straws through the rings to serve.

Also good with anchovy paste, instead of cheese.

SQUASHED FLY SLICE

If you have a couple of larger offcuts of short pastry left, roll out very thinly. Place one on a baking sheet and cover with currants.

Sprinkle with sugar and add a couple of dabs of butter. Cover with the second sheet, seal the edges and brush with egg or milk.

Bake in a hot oven about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with caster sugar, and cut into slices.

At Christmas substitute fruit mince for the currants.

PARCEL DOGS

Roll cocktail size frankfurts or wieners in puff pastry squares, from the corner, or from one edge, bake as for pastry.
