Sprinkle the pastry board with a good layer of sugar then roll the pastry to a neat oblong.
Roll one long side as for a Swiss roll but stop at the centre
Roll the other side in the same way so the two rolls meet in the centre
Cut into slices 1/4 – 1/3 inch thick and press each slice in sugar
Bake for 6 minutes above centre in a hot to very hot oven (425-450°F.), turn over and bake for another 6 minutes
Serve with icecream or sandwich two with cream.
Makes about 10-12
LEMON MILLE FEUILLES
Roll out the pastry thinly and cut into two equal sized squares, about 6-7 inches
Put on to a baking tray and cook for 15 minutes in a hot to very hot oven,
reduce heat after 10 minutes if becoming too brown.
When cold spread one square with lemon curd and top with 1/4 pint whipped cream,
flavoured with a little grated lemon rind. Top with the second square.
Blend 6 oz. sieved icing sugar with lemon juice to give a spreading consistency.
Take out 2 tablespoons icing and add 2 tablespoons cocoa.
Spread lemon icing over the pastry, do not allow to dry.
Make lines of the chocolate icing with a No. 1 writing pipe and drag the back
of a knife towards and away from you across the lines, to give feathering effect.
Serves 6-8.
