Pastry Cushions

Cushions.. Made from pastry! Genius.

This evening, we had pies for dinner. Round pies. Cutting round pie-lids from square pastry involves pastry offcuts. Delicious pastry offcuts.

This is the edges, cut into squares, placed into a woven lattice arrangement, brushed with butter, sprinkled with sugar; and baked in a 200C oven for about 15 minutes.

It’s a little bit on the bland side, though; but well suited to eating with ice-cream.

  1. Ooh! ooh!
    this reminds me of jewish “burekas”! (Scroll down a bit.)

    you should really try it.
    it’s anything but bland.

  2. Those actually sound really good.

  3. Adam,

    Ooh! Ooh Ooh. Filo/Phyllo is marvellous (: The triangle folding method is genius.. When I’m doing filo/phyllo stuffed with stuff I’d ended up with lumpy-foldy bits.

    Josh,

    And easy!
