We made our own pastry, which was absolutely delicious. This is not something I would ever normally do, but we had the space and time. Not only was it practical and educational but also lovely to do together. ⠀
⠀
So if you can, take some time to cook with your kids, it’s a great opportunity and silver lining.⠀

Thanks to my wonderful mum who gave me her recipe for pastry: nice and simple, just how I like it 😂 2 parts flour to 1 part butter + 1 egg.⠀

Fried 2 onions until caramelised.⠀
