We've packed away the decorations and laid the Christmas songs to rest for another year, but what's left in your fridge? Admittedly, I didn't have the stilton left in the fridge, it was on the clearance shelf at the supermarket and I do so love blue cheese!]]> http://laythetable.com/snacks/stilton-bacon-and-red-onion-tartlets/feed/ 0 http://laythetable.com/snacks/sausage-rolls/ http://laythetable.com/snacks/sausage-rolls/#comments Thu, 17 Dec 2009 23:29:39 +0000 Becs http://laythetable.com/?p=306
Using onion salt instead of onion in the sausage meat stops the pastry going soggy. The expert who taught me the recipe for these sausage rolls (my very talented mother) showed me that adding a little water to the tray makes the puff pastry a little bit puffier. I find the supermarkets often sell low quality sausagemeat so I tend to buy their finest sausages, which have a higher meat content.]]> http://laythetable.com/snacks/sausage-rolls/feed/ 1 http://laythetable.com/snacks/mmmince-pies/ http://laythetable.com/snacks/mmmince-pies/#comments Thu, 10 Dec 2009 23:14:39 +0000 Becs http://laythetable.com/?p=302
Spending time on mince pies is always worth the effort! Impress your friends by using the snowflake shaped cutter for the cutout. I based this on Nigella's recipe but added a few ingredients of my own. The addition of spices to the pastry adds some extra flavour.]]> http://laythetable.com/snacks/mmmince-pies/feed/ 3
