Ingredients
For the pastry:
- 4 cups flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup cold butter
- ½ cup shortening
- ½ cup cold water
For the filling:
- 1 8- oz block extra sharp cheddar cheese
- ¼ tsp ground pepper
- 1 tbsp brown mustard
- 1 tbsp flour
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 wiri wiri pepper
- 1 egg
Instructions
- All ingredients ready? Let's begin!
- Add the flour and salt to a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
- Cut the butter into chunks and add the flour. Add the shortening as well.
- Using a fork, pastry cutter, or your hands, cut the ingredients together until the butter and shortening are very small, pea-like chunks throughout.
- Add roughly ½ cup cold water and mix to combine into a thick dough.
- If the mixture is still too dry to stick together, add a tiny bit of water at a time and mix again. If it's too wet, add a little bit of flour.
- Flour a clean surface and turn the ball of dough out onto it. Use your hands to knead the dough extra thoroughly, making sure it's a solid ball.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least an hour to chill.
- When you're ready you can prepare the cheese filling. Grate the cheese and add to a bowl.
- Add the ground pepper, mustard, flour, garlic powder, and parsley.
- Cut the wiri wiri pepper in half to destem and deseed it. Finely chop it and add it to the cheese.
- Mix all the cheese ingredients well.
- Preheat your oven to 350F and remove the dough from the fridge.
- On a clean, lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to be about 1/8th inch thick. It should be thin enough to cook evenly but thick enough so it doesn't rip when you shape the rolls.
- Cut the dough into 16 equal rectangles.
- Crack the egg into a small bowl, add a few drops of water, and beat with a fork until mixed.
- Use a pastry brush to brush the edges of each dough portion with egg.
- Spoon 1-2 tbsp of cheese mixture down the center of each dough rectangle, then fold hotdog-length in half so the edges of dough touch.
- Use a fork to press the edges of dough together.
- Place the rolls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush the remaining egg on top.
- Put in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. The tops should be golden brown and the edges slightly crispy.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the pan for 10 minutes before moving to a wire cooling rack to continue cooling.
- Serve warm, but be careful as the cheese inside will be very hot. Enjoy!
