  • 300ml chilled water
  • 50g butter
  • 250g pastry margarine

  3. Next, place pastry margarine in a clean plastic bag and flatten by rolling out to 18cm x 22cm size. Freeze the margarine.

  5. Use the rolling pin to knock and spread out the margarine evenly. Put this piece of dough into a plastic/polythene bag and refrigerate for 20 to 25 minutes.
  6. Take out dough and repeat the rolling and folding process. Then refrigerate the dough again.
  7. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and roll out to a 30cm x 65cm rectangle. Cut dough with a sharp knife to a long triangular strip. Roll to a crescent shape.
  8. Place rolled out pastry on a lightly greased baking tray.Leave to rise for 30 minutes. Brush with egg glaze and bake in a preheated oven at 220 ºC for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden in colour.
