 EASY PUFF PASTRY RECIPE

This recipe came about after I tried the usual folding method and found it tedious. I needed something quick, easy and less stressful. All you need is 4 ingredients to make a flaky delicious puff pastry for sausage rolls or pies. The most important tip is to make sure your ingredients are very cold, it helps a lot with this method.
       


                                                            INGREDIENTS.
250g Unsalted Butter (cut butter into small chunks, spread out on a lined baking tray and freeze overnight)
2 1/2 Cups Plain flour
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup chilled milk
1 egg

                                                            INSTRUCTIONS
1. Add flour, butter and salt in a food processor and whizz till the butter break up into tiny little pieces you almost can't see it easily.

2. Get a deep bowl (chill the bowl in the fridge for 30 minutes before. It's optional but helps keep the pastry cold) tip the flour and butter in.

3. Add milk bit by bit stirring with a fork.

4. Once the mixture starts coming together, go in with your hands and gently bring them all together making a flat round dough.

5. Wrap dough in clingfilm and refrigerate overnight.

6. Roll out pastry on a clean dry floured surface, knead out a square of 1inch pastry. Place the sausage on the pastry and roll over. Brush egg at the end to seal it up.

7. Continue that way until you've used up the rolled out pastry. Cut into desired sizes, place on a lined baking tray, egg wash and bake till pastry is browned and sausage is cooked. Enjoy!

Cabbage And Pink Salmon Sauce

This easy delicious Sauce is one thing you should try cooking, it is so delicious, full of flavour and ideal for when you are just tired of having Tomato Stew/meat/chicken. I made it with Grilled Chicken for Christmas and just thought to cook it with Sea food which turned out amazing. For this recipe, meal prep is very important. Vegetables have to be chopped, ready to go into the pot as soon as its time as the sauce does not require long cooking time if not the veggies will get overly soft and soggy, you want them crunchy and delicious with the vitamins still intact. Sauce served with White Rice and Plantain Chops Ingredients For Cabbage Sauce 1/2 of 1 Cabbage 3 Large Carrots 1/2 of each (green, red and yellow bell peppers) 2 Scotch bonnets King Prawns 5 Spring Onions 1 Cup water 2 Knorr cubes 1tbs + 1/2tsp Corn flour 1/2 tsp Curry powder 1/2 tsp Thyme 1/4 cup oil (olive oil, sunflower oil, coconut oil anyone) For Grilled Salmon 7 Pieces Pink Salmon Fis...
