Ingredients
Makes
24
250 g/8 oz
puff pastry
2
tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon
paprika
pinch of
cayenne pepper
3
tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Method:
Roll out the puff pastry thinly on a lightly
floured surface and trim to make a rectangle
roughly 20 x 25 cm/8 x 10 inches.
Combine
the oil, paprika, cayenne and Parmesan and
brush three-quarters of the paste allover
the pastry to give an even coating.
Fold
over both long sides of pastry in to meet in
the middle, spread over a layer of the
remaining paste and fold the pastry in half
lengthways. Press down firmly.
Using a sharp
knife, cut the pastry into 24 thin slices
and transfer, cut side down, to 2 greased
baking sheets.
Bake the pastries in a
preheated oven, 200°C (400°F), Gas Mark 6,
for 10 minutes, then turn them over and bake
for a further 4-5 minutes until they are
crisp and golden. Cool on a wire rack.
