Almost Pims O'clock

 Had an unexpected guest, luckily I was half-way through baking for knitting club tomorrow so I had something to offer her!

 We took our tray out into a garden where it was blazing sunshine.......so hot infact I had to go and get the parasol......

 We had  lovely scrummy chocolate and hazelnut palmiers.......and a lovely natter......

 The sun was lovely shining through the trees...........

There was a hint of what is to come.........lovely sunshine...birdsong...and meals in the garden with friends.....it's almost Pims O'clock and almost iced earl grey lavender lemonade time.....

The palmiers are so easy to make just three ingrediants.......

 Roasted hazelnuts........

 easiest way to crush them is pop them in a clean tea towel and bash with your rolling pin.....

 this.......

 And puff pastry....roll it out into an oblong spread the nuteela over it and sprinkle the nuts over the top.......

 Roll both ends up into the middle...rest in the fridge...slice and bake......

What could be easier......they will be laid on a board and sprinkled with icing sugar tomorrow to serve x x x
