Rosies Cornish Pasties
I don't buy a lot of gadgets, I have done, then after an initial use they become like exercise machinery, confined to the cupboard. One gadget I have bought and use regularly is my pasty maker. A simple hinged piece of plastic that shapes, seals and adds a little decoration to the pastry, great for apples pies. Make your pasties, brush a little egg wash on top and bake at 200c till brown.
Rosies Roquefort and Sesame seed biscuits
90 gms cold diced butter
pinch mustard pwder
A little ground chilli
150 gms Roquefort, 100gms for the recipe and the other 50gms to go on top before baking.
1 Tbsp Sesame seeds.
Put all the ingredients (except the saved 50gms of cheese) in a bowl, using your hands knead the ingredients together, where it forms a dough roll out on a floured surface into a sausage shape, wrap in cling film and place in the fridge for an hour,
Remove from fridge when your ready, preheat oven to 190c, slice the biscuit roll and arrange the slices on a foil covered tray,place a little of the saved cheese on top of each, a sprinkle of black pepper and bake till they are a light golden colour.
