So, I was supposed to be going to Christchurch for some motorbike racing last weekend - but the earthquake put paid to that. Better luck next year.
The sfogliatelle pastry and filling I froze the weekend before was going to be used to make pastries to take away with me. There was no way I could eat that many withouyt blowing up like a balloon, so I thought I might as well do some good with them. I made them on the Thursday night, but instead of taking them to Christchurch I took them to work and sold them at morning tea time, raising $25 to send to Christchurch for the earthquake relief. Of course I did eat some too!
There wasn't quite enough filling for all of the pastry, so I used chopped apricot and nectarine for the extras:
I ended up with about one and a half trays full …
… and this time I didn't overcook them!
The basket I took them to work in - or, if you are fussy, in which I took them to work:
may I have some?
