Although it isn't cake, this fits in with my baking with kids theme that I am currently running with. I love pastry, particularly savoury puff pastry dishes. So one lunchtime last week we decided to make a savoury plait. It turned out to be really easy and absolutely DELICIOUS!
We grated some cheese and chopped up some onions, and then rolled out a sheet of puff pastry.
Then, using a sharp knife, we scored the pastry along its length (being careful not to cut right through it) so that it was marked into three sections.
Starting with the bacon, we put the filling in the middle section and then cut diagonally along the two remaining sections (cutting right through this time).
Using a little beaten egg as 'glue' we then folded a strip over from each side to give the impression the pastry had been plaited.
Finally, we brushed egg over the finished plait and popped it in the oven at approx 180C for half an hour.
There were no left-overs!
