Simple Coconut & Jam Pastries
Have you meet my wee boy yet?
My wee boy loves to bake.
Today we decided to make some simple pastries along the lines of our pinwheels, but this time a sweet version.
He filled the pastries with jam, desiccated coconut and some mixed dried fruit.
They were such a treat and he loved making them.

So do be aware when making pastry recipes you find online, you may find you have too much filling or not enough pastry.
This recipe is quite forgiving, but just be aware.

Delicious looking - and well done Cooper! I've had spam problems too, you're not alone :(
ReplyDeleteIt's bloomin annoying and even more annoying when companies that have done it to you in the past to improve their page rank come back and ask you to remove it as if it is your fault it is there. Sheesh!!!
DeleteOh well, lets just tell ourselves we are popular ;)
I will tell Cooper you like his pastries.
The boy is a genius! Send him round to do some baking for me please.
ReplyDeleteThanks Janice. I may start hiring him out soon, haha :D
DeleteYou've given me an idea Cooper, when I have some leftover pasty instead of savoury pinwheels I'm going to make some sweet mini ones just like yours (but without the coconut:-)! I look forward to your next recipe Cooper!
