My ultimate Seeded Mustard Cheese Straws
My ultimate cheese straws are golden with crisp cheesy edges and a soft middle chock full of mustardy salty cheese. I love the crunch they make as you snap into them and that nutty flavour from the toasted seeds.
Slovenia - Kremna Rezina
This deliciously creamy pastry originates from Lake Bled in Slovenia. It's a pretty straight forward recipe but does require quite a few steps and some forethought as it needs time to set in the fridge. Similar pastries are eaten around the world. It particularly reminds me of a vanilla slice in the UK, which is one of my favourites. Two layers of crisp, buttery pastry filled with a set vanilla custard and fresh cream.
Portugal - Pastéis de Nata
These gorgeous golden custard tarts are utterly irresistible. From their rich sweet filling to the crisp flaky pastry, what's not to love?
