CHEESE PASTRY (VERY easy)
- 100 g plain flour
- 50 g butter
- 15 g parmesan cheese or 15 g romano cheese, grated
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 1 pinch dry mustard
- 1 egg, beaten
- cold water
directions
- Rub the butter into the flour.
- Add the grated cheese, Cayenne pepper, and mustard.
- Bind to a firm dough with some of the beaten egg and a little cold water.
- Knead gently.
- TIP: This pastry can be made the day before.
- It can also be frozen.
- Roll the pastry out thinly- But not TOOOOOO thin!
- Cut the pastry into 3" squares.
- Put a little Gooseberry Reserve in the centre of each square and top with a 1" cube of Camembert.
- Brush the edges of the pastry with beaten egg.
- Bring the edges of the pastry together on top to form a parcel (rather like a sack!), pinching the'neck' together, form a seal and snip off any excess pastry with scissors.
- Brush each Camembert Parcel with beaten egg and place on lightly greased baking tray.
- Bake at 200'C (400'F, Gas Mark 6) for 10-15 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and serve straight away!
- NOTE: It is very important to ensure the parcels are SEALED to avoid any Camembert Cheese leaking out!
- ENJOY!

I live in New Zealand, I'm married and my husband and I have no children....but we do have a dog (Bruno the Poodle), and a cat (Gus the Birman)!
Back in November 2000, I resigned from a 17yr career with Air New Zealand as a Purser. I am now working as a Private Investigator with my husband - having his own Investigation Company. The work is varied and at times very rewarding as I'm sure you can imagine!
I have an absolute passion for shoes...what woman doesn't??!!!, and fashion generally, including that of Home Interiors and furnishings, and gardens.
I enjoy, among many past-times, art, gardening, water ski-ing, power walking,
and ofcourse...COOKING!!(and entertaining).
I guess my pet peeve would be running late for an appointment somewhere! 10 minutes early = 10 minutes late with me!! So, ON time is VERY late!!!
If I had a month off - no work, and no responsibilities I would buy 2 return airfares to Honolulu!! And spend 2 weeks on Waikiki Beach with my husband and 2 weeks at home in the kitchen!! And entertaining friends and family.
