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!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

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.
