Puff Pastry Pate Whirls! Ooooo Errrr
It’s party food season. Yes you heard it here first 🙂 Puff Pastry Pate Whirls are the answer!
And you will see the shelves packed with party food nibbles!!! And the fridges, And the freezers
Well these are my homemade whirls and let me tell you under no uncertain terms – these home made nibbles knock spots off those shop bought ones!
The issue with all these frozen / chilled ones is that I simply don’t understand why people buy them when we can make them?
These Pate Whirls are yum, easy and you can prepare ahead.
Make and freeze yourself in advance.
Then simply – when you want them you can grab them out of the freezer and whack them in the oven.
Bake and serve at the drop of a hat! Yip Yar
So how do you make Pate Whirls?
It’s as simple as one two three!!
Pastry – pate – herbs – roll
Chill/freeze – slice – freeze
If you chill the sausage shape or pop in the freezer for 20 minutes, when you come to cut, you will het a much better and more defined slice
Freeze open in the freezer and then simply bag up and you’re all set to go!
Bake!! – Your Puff Pastry Pate Whirls
Why oh why would you buy all that party stuff?
I personally think the quality isn’t that great.
Also why do you want to serve 10 different types of nibbles, when 4 different types are just so much classier and if they are home made then so so much nicer!
These are so cheaty and so easy and so tasty
Please have a go, drop me a comment.
