These were made in a inspired moment when I racked my little brain for a suitable dessert as part of our Mezze platter, not entirely authentic middle eastern but inspired!

Time: 25 mins

Ingredients: makes 2 x scrolls and 2 x triangles
1/4cup Salted peanuts, crushed
Mixed nuts (also salted if you like)
1/4 Mixed fruit (I used a combination of sultanas & raisins)
2 Tbsp Honey
1 Tbsp Raw sugar,
1 Tbsp Softened Butter
Sprinkle of cinnamon
1 puff pastry sheet

Preheat the oven to 180C (350F) you don’t want it too hot or it’ll scorch the honey and sugar too quickly.

Method:

I’ve added some whole peanuts and cashews here for more texture but feel free to omit if you prefer,

Lay the pastry sheet out on a diagonal and score four lines into it, you want two thin strips and the triangles on the end. Spread the fruit & nut filling over the sheet.

Roll up into scrolls and triangles, place on a baking sheet and tray. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 mins, check the pan and turn the baking sheet if necessary,
