potatoes

butter

leeks

thyme sprigs, leaves

Dijon mustard

tbsp cream

flour

block shortcrust pastry

Cook the potatoes in boiling, salted water for 5-8 mins until tender, but still holding their shape. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add the leeks and thyme and soften for 10-12 mins. Drain potatoes and add to the leeks with the mustard and plenty of seasoning. Stir in the cream and leave to cool a little.

Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. On a floured surface, roll out the pastry to the thickness of a £1 coin. Use a side plate or a bowl as a template to cut out 6 x 15cm circles. Mix the cheese with the leek mixture and pile a mound of the mix onto the centre of each pastry circle. Brush around edges with a little egg, then bring edges together and crimp with your fingers to seal.

Place pasties on a baking tray lined with baking parchment, brush with the remaining egg and bake for 40-45 mins until golden brown. Serve warm or leave to cool.

Salty Churro Toffee Snack Mix

Oyster Crackers

brown sugar

cinnamon

vanilla

salt

Preheat the oven to 350°F/175°C. Line a baking sheet with foil. Set aside.

Pour the oyster crackers in a large bowl and set aside.

In a medium saucepan combine the butter and brown sugar. Stirring consistently bring the mixture to a boil and boil for 2 minutes. Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon and vanilla. Pour this immediately on top of the crackers. Use a rubber spatula, stir and coat the crackers evenly with the mixture. Spread the crackers evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 10 &#8211; 15 minutes until bubbly all over.

While the crackers are in the oven combine the granulated sugar, cinnamon and salt. Set this aside.

When the crackers are done remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle immediately with the salty cinnamon sugar mixture evenly.

Let the crackers cool and then break into pieces.

Serve immediately or store airtight for up to a week.

What I love about this recipe is that it just works. When it came out of the oven, with all the sauce and crackers stuck together, I assumed that I’d just be breaking it up into chunks. I was thrilled to discover that it easily broke up into individual crackers, once cooled. 

Next time you m gonna play with flavors a bit and maybe do more of a mix with the oyster crackers, then maybe some mini pretzels, pecans, etc. Also may add a little cayenne pepper for a little heat… love sweet, savory, hot in one bite.

This is a winner.

Make these ASAP! So incredible. Quick, easy and delicious!

It turned out really good but next time I'm going to add some red pepper to kick it up and counter the sugar.
