pastry day

the other week in MUM land we had a big batch pastry day.

there were chicken sausage rolls, chinese pasties, nutella rolls and cheesy vege pockets to make and scoff and swap.

here are some of the mini MUMbakers in action trying their hand at pastry making.

an easy recipe from the day for pastry was this tried and true family favourite...
