I have always liked this pastry. The inclusion of yoghurt makes a delightfully light dough that can be rolled very thin to make a feathery light wrapping for any number of ideas.
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 125 grams butter
- 1 cup non-fat plain yoghurt
Filling
- 125 grams Brie or Camembert
- 125 grams blue cheese
- 36 green grapes
Method
- Sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.
- Add the yoghurt and mix with a knife to make a soft dough.
- Turn the dough out, bring together and knead lightly. Allow to rest for 30 minutes while making the filling.
- Process both cheeses in a food processor until finely chopped and blended. If the grapes are large cut in half.
- Roll the pastry out very thinly and cut into 36 even squares about 7cm square
- Place a teaspoon of the cheese filing in the centre and a grape on top. Brush the edges with water and fold to form a triangle. Repeat with the remaining filling and pastry.
- Shallow fry in moderately hot oil or clarified butter at 170 degrees Celsius for about 5 minutes, turning to gain an even browness. Drain on absorbent paper before serving (at this point the turnovers can be set aside and re-heated in a 190°C oven for 7-8 minutes to serve later). Serve warm.
