Cheese Pastry Whirls

Crispy, sweet, tangy and crunchy. This really does make for a nice snack for anytime during the day.

Ingredients (serves 4-6)

• 125g plain flour
• 100g butter, diced & chilled
• 100g Red Fox Red Leicester cheese, coarsely grated
• 1 tbsp Mrs Darlington’s Spicy Tomato & Sticking Onion Chutney

Method

1. Tip the flour into a food processor along with the butter and blitz for a 1 minute or until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
2. Stir in the cheese and 1 tablespoons of cold water, until the mixture combines to form a dough. If dry still add a little more water. Shape into a ball, wrap in clingfilm and place in fridge to chill for at least 20 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 200°C or gas mark 6. Line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Dust lightly a work surface with flour and roll out the pastry into a 5mm thick 20cm x 40cm rectangle.
4. Using a knife, spread the chutney very thinly over the pastry. Roll the pastry up and from the longest edge roll to form a log. Then slice the log evenly into discs about 1cm thick and arrange on the baking sheet. Pop into over and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Once cooked place on a wire rack to cool. Serve either warm or cold.
