Method

  1. To make the pastry, put the flour, butter and cayenne pepper into a food processor, then whizz into fine breadcrumbs. sprinkle the egg and water mixture onto the flour and pulse again until the mixture begins to come together. Tip the mixture onto a board, then gently squeeze the pastry until it begins to come together in a ball, adding more water if it feels dry. Divide the mixture in half, roll each piece into a 12 x 30cm rectangle and slip onto a baking sheet. Do not chill.
  2. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Mix the filling ingredients together, except one egg yolk, which you need for glazing, in a food processor. Divide in two and roll each into a 30cm-long sausage shape. Lay a cheese sausage on one side of the pastry. Brush the sausage and pastry with egg yolk and fold the pastry over the top to encase the sausage. Seal the two edges, trim the ends, then cut into 2cm pieces. Arrange on a baking sheet and chill for 30 mins.
  3. Brush the rolls with a little more egg yolk, place herbs on top, if you like, then bake for 12-15 mins until golden brown.

    An absolute winner for those on a gluten free diet. I presented this to friends on Xmas day and they were all amazed it was gluten free and so tasty. I substited the caerphilly with wenslydale and made my own pastry using cream cheese. The pastry binds together like a dream with the cream cheese.

    I'd love to know how much cream cheese to use too sounds interesting.

    Made this for the first time today, used the cream cheese instead of butter, same amount, and changed the cheese to cheddar as that was all I had in the fridge. Lovely pastry, GF is usually hard to fold this was good and the filling great I made 12 small ones from this recipe and within an hour they had all been eaten, next time I will make more and freeze some.
