The block of puff pastry I bought to make the apple galette just went on and on and on...this made use of the last remnants. We scoffed them in the car* on the first picnic of the year, overlooking the lake at Herrington.
You'll need:
some offcuts of puff pastry
grated cheese (preferably mature cheddar, or something strong)
a sprinkle of paprika
I baked these in the oven at about 200 degrees C.
Roll out your pastry - you need some strips about 2 inches wide, and 3 inches long. Place the grated cheese at one end, sprinkle a bit of paprika on top, and then roll up. Pinch the edges together really well (if you want to seal it properly you could brush it with a little beaten egg), and stick on a lined baking tray. Repeat ad nauseam, depending on how much pastry you've got left.
Bake in the oven for about 12-15 minutes, until the pastry has puffed up (it should look like little sausage rolls), and gone golden brown.
I thought these would be perfect for three-year-olds, but you refused to have anything to do with them. Next time I might try sausage rolls.
*Yes, I know picnics are generally eaten outside, but it was 2 degrees on the car thermometer and we were feeling too feeble.
