In This weeks parsha we learn the last mitzvah in the Torah... that is the mitzvah of every Jew writting their own sefer Torah!

So of course I made...puff pastry torah scrolls!

Roll out the dough and cut into strips.


Fill the ends with a mixture made of 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 tbls cocoa


Roll

And bake!  See how puffy they are?


Using the back of a spoon press the middle down.

Parshas Nitzavim


In this weeks parsha, we learn that we must keep the Torah and its mitzvos from the heart.  


I made heart shaped cookies and filled them with parlinutta chocolate spread.  

Cookie Dough Recipe:

4 cups flour
2 tsp cream of tar tar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup margarine
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla essence
1/2 cup liquid (I used rice milk)

Method:

1. In a bowl mix the flour, cream of tart tar and baking soda.
2.  In the bowl of an electric beater cream the margarine and sugar.  
3.  Add the egg and vanilla essence.
4.  Add the 1/2 cup liquid and the flour mixture alternating until all in.
5.  Beat on high until well combined.
6.  Divide into 4 and form discs.  Cover with cling film and refrigerate for a few hours or over night.

When rolling out dough i found it very sticky so first covered the whole thing in flour and then rolled it out.  

7.  Cut out heart shapes and fill the bottom one with chocolate spread.



8.  Dipping your finger in water wet the top half and place over bottom one.


9.  Using a fork, press the ends together.


10.  Prick holes with a tooth pick for the steam to escape.


Bake in oven preheated to 180C (360 F) for 10-15 minutes or until starts turning golden.





Wishing you a wonderful Shabbos
