Fazzoletti

"Fazzoletti" means little handkerchiefs in Italian. These are delicious sweet ricotta-sultana pastries flavoured with honey and rum. Quick and easy to make, they are perfect for a late Sunday brunch or to eat in the afternoon with coffee. They can also be made ahead of time, frozen and then baked - they will need a couple more minutes in the oven.

Ingredients

  • 300g fresh ricotta, drained
  • 80g honey
  • 2 egg yolks, plus one extra for eggwash
  • 50g sultanas
  • 2 tsp rum
  • 3 sheets puff pastry
  • 3-4 tbsp icing mixture (pure icing sugar will not do as it will melt when baking)

Method

Pre-heat oven to 200C (180C for fan-forced).

Beat the ricotta with the honey until smooth, then add the yolks and whisk until just combined. Stir in the sultanas and rum.

Take a sheet of puff pastry and cut into four squares. Take one square and place a tablespoon of the mixture in the centre. Brush the edges with a little egg wash, fold over so you have a triangle and gently press to seal.

Sprinkle liberally with the icing mixture and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Repeat until you have used all the mixture. Bake for about 12 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.

Makes 10-12.
