WEIGHT CONVERTER
Method
- Set the oven to gas mark 6 or 200°C.
- Cut each sheet of pastry in half to give 4 rectangles. Working quickly, before the pastry dries out, brush butter over 2 sheets of pastry, then place the other 2 sheets on top, positioning them diagonally opposite the first sheet.
- Halve cheese and put one half in the centre of each pastry sheet. Spoon cranberry sauce on to each cheese.
- Gather up the pastry around the filling, opening out the pointed corners of the sheet.
- Place the parcels on a baking sheet and brush some butter over the outside of each.
- Bake the parcels for 12-15 mins, or until the pastry turns a light golden colour.
- Remove parcels from the oven and serve immediately with salad.
Top Tip for making Goat's cheese and cranberry parcels
As filo pastry dries out very quickly, keep it covered with a clean tea towel until it’s used, butleave it unrolled for the minimum amount of time.
