Dear readers, Happy New Year 2010!!! (I know… I know… it’s 11 days into the new year)
I’m juggling a few things in my hand right now. Plus Chinese New Year is around the corner (5 weeks plus only!). I need to make plans for baking CNY cookies as well. Will reveal more once I know where I’m going.
Meantime you can check out some of the past CNY cookies I’ve made:
1. Sugee Cookies
2. Kuih Kapit aka Love Letters
3. Ribbon Cookies
4. Dragon Cookies
5. Margarine Cookies
6. Oatmeal Crispies
Okay for now let’s concentrate on making a simple snack. It’s called All Spice Parmesan Mini Twist, a finger food that’s perfect for me since I like munching while working. :P
This recipe is adapted from Kay’s Dutch Girl Cooking: Parmesan Twist recipe. I tweaked a little and add in my choice of favorite ingredient.
In a bowl add 1 teaspoon ground all spice, 2 tablespoons parmesan & 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme. Then simply mix them.
In another bowl, crack an egg and add 1 teaspoon whole grain mustard. Mix them well until combine.
Grab a brush and apply parmesan+mustard onto the sheets of puff pastry.
Sprinkle parmesan & your combo spice/herb choices onto the pastry sheet.
Now here’s my mistake. I thought this amount is enough to give me the kick but oh no no. Should have added more parmesan+combo spice/herb.
Next slice the pastry sheet to about 2cm strips.
Ahh don’t they look perfect?
Now for some twisting exercise. Hold 2 end of the strip and twist twice.
The pastry sheet I used is small in size thus the name mini twist.
Bake in the oven in 180OC for 12-15minutes.
My perfect snack. Smell of wood! (due to all spice)
Enjoy while it’s hot.
