Canapé Crackers

Give our tasty bite-sized canapés a try – they’re ideal for dinner parties.

Makes: about 30 crackers

Ingredients

  • 200g packet ready rolled filo pastry
  • 50g (2oz) ANCHOR Butter, melted
  • Fresh chives
  • Red pepper
Avocado, prawn and lemon filling
  • 25g (1oz) ANCHOR Butter
  • Half lemon, grated rind and juice
  • 1 spring onion, finely sliced
  • 50g (2oz) fresh peeled prawns
  • Half ripe avocado pear, peeled, stone removed and diced
Feta and lime filling
  • 25g (1oz) ANCHOR Butter
  • Half Lime, grated rind and juice
  • 50g (2oz) Feta cheese, crumbled
  • 15ml (1tbsp) Fresh coriander, chopped
  • 25g (1oz) Bean sprouts
  • Quarter green pepper, deseeded and finely sliced
Sausage and cranberry filling
  • 4 chunky sausages, skins removed
  • 15ml (1tbsp) cranberry sauce

Method

  1. Make each of the fillings separately by mixing together all ingredients listed for each.
  2. Take the sheets of filo and cut into 4 (this should give you rectangles about 15x20cm). Place one sheet on a board and brush with melted ANCHOR Butter, place a further sheet on top and brush again with ANCHOR Butter. Place a spoonful of the mixture at the edge in the centre and roll up – pinch the edges to make a cracker shape – continue until you have sufficient crackers for the festive occasion!
  3. Place on a baking sheet and brush with a little more melted ANCHOR Butter – this will make them crisp and golden. Bake in a preheated oven at Gas Mark 5 190C / 375F for about 15 minutes until pastry is golden and crisp.
  4. Finish off with fresh chives and very thin strips of red pepper for ‘bows’.
