Ham & Pineapple Scrolls

bluemoon downunder's Note:

A simple to make any-time snack which can be eaten warm or at room temperature, and just watch them disappear at children's parties! From an October 2005 issue of the Australian magazine 'Fresh Living'.

• Total Time: 40 mins
• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 24 ham & p ...

• 2 1/2 cups self-raising flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 pinch salt
• 55 g chilled butter
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup pasta sauce
• 120 g shaved ham, shredded
• 440 g unsweetened crushed canned pineapple, well drained
• 1 cup grated cheddar cheese

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper.
2. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl and rub the butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs; stir in the milk with a flat-bladed knife until the mixture comes together.
3. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead gently.
4. Divide the dough in half and roll out each portion to a 15cm x 30cm rectangle.
5. Spread each portion with pasta sauce, sprinkle with ham, pineapple and cheese and roll up from the longer side to enclose the filling.
6. Trim the ends if necessary.
7. Cut into 2cm wide pieces with a lightly floured serrated-edge knife and place the scrolls onto a lightly greased tray, allowing room for them spreading.
8. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until puffed and golden.
9. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Delicious! I cut back a bit on the pineapple. Served as an appetizer for Christmas.

Mmmm...very yummy.These are reminiscent of little Hawaiian Dream pizzas.I used Lainey's 10-Minute Marinara Sauce for the pasta sauce (I don't do jars!) and the results were really delicious and very more-ish. The children are currently munching them as an afternoon snack,so they must be good! Thanks BlueMoon for a really easy and tasty little treat.

Loved them! These were really delicious! I cheated and used store bought puff pastry sheets so they were very quick and easy to make as well. Thanks for a keeper bluemoon, please see my rating system.
