Creature Comforts

Cinnamon and Sultana Swirls
Ingredients
1lb home-made puff pastry, or a 500g pack of frozen, defrosted at room temperature for about two hours
2oz/50g castor sugar (I like the brown type)
2oz/50g sultanas, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon cinnamon
Method
Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F/gas mark 6.
Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.
Mix the sultanas, sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl.
Lightly flour a board and rolling pin, then roll out the pastry to about 12 inches by 8 inches, and a quarter of an inch thick.
Moisten the surface very slightly and then sprinkle the sultana mixture evenly across it.
Roll up as tightly as possible, like a Swiss Roll, and then slice into discs about half an inch wide.
Lay them flat on the baking tray, about two inches apart, and bake in the upper part of the oven for about ten minutes, when they will be puffy, golden brown at the edges, and delicious.
Leave to cool on a wire rack, store in a cake box or tin.

I would like to thank my son, Robin Ashley, for his sterling research and editorial assistance over the summer, without which this book would never have been finished. Also, my grateful thanks to my many internet friends, who sent me their brilliant dog treat recipes – I could choose only one for the book, but I intend to make them all.
