Oh my goodness. These are amazing little parcels. Very easy to make and turned out like something you'd find in a pastry shop. I omitted the raisins, and sprinkled the top with coarse sugar after brushing with the egg. DH ran out to the store for vanilla ice cream. Guess what's for dessert? :) Sara, please thank your Son for us. Made for the Auzzie/NZ Recipe Swap #32
