Hi Lilian, I agree Kawan Puff Pastry is the best thing to hit our S’markets! Making Pastry is a tedious chore for me, all that rolling in our humid weather is not my thing! Now Bread making is my forte! Anyway made Sausage Rolls, came out great, lovely to eat with a hot cup of Chai, on a stormy, rainy evening! A small hint when using sausages(frankfurters) for baking any rolls: par-boil them in a little water for 2-3 mins, cool and continue for recipe. Cheers to Kawan!

Thanks again Lilian for all these good advise. Seriously, I got a lot of inspiration to cook from you. You make it sound so easy and not intimidating at all I have been cooking dinner at home, almost daily. At least now, we can have home cooked meals after work and in the long run, it did saves us $$ and we get nutritious food.

p/s – I finally found the Kawan puff pastry in Giant today!!! Bought 2 packs to stock up and it is much cheaper than Pampas…hehehe

julia – Glad you find the recipe edible! Yes, I forget to mention that I only use 1/3 of the tin. I kept the 2/3 in two separate portion in the freezer.

poh nee – The puff pastry makes an elegant dish, just drape it over soup and bake.

khy – There is nothing juicy lah, or else the puff pastry will be soggy.

lingzie – If I find stocks in Tesco, normally I buy 2-3 packets and store. They always ran out of stock.

yatie – Kawan has some excellent products. You watch out for the wantan skin, in green colour packet. It is really delicious, just minced some chicken, add corn flour, salt and pepper, Wrap them in the wantan skin and deep fry. Sedap….Just put a tiny layer of the mince chicken will do, fold it into triangle.

My hubby always ask me to give him a chance to cook, so this time i asked him to follow your recipe. It was easy and successful (though 1 burst). We bought 1 can for corned beef (RM7 plus!) to be divided among 10 pastries. I think too much of corned beef, so I felt a bit geli. Less beef next time, more “space” to taste the pastry.
