TO MAKE: THE MILK-TART JAFFLE

YIELDS: 2X JAFFLES

Follow the instructions and bake a sheet of puff pastry in the oven until cooked and golden brown. Cut two circles from the pastry, the size of the jaffle pan; repeat with two more pastry discs. Brush some melted butter onto the inside of the jaffle pan. Position the pastry onto the jaffle pan and spoon a good scoop of the milk- tart filling onto one half. Cover with the remaining pastry disc. Close the jaffle pan and position over medium coals for about 3 minutes per side or use a gas flame to complete the jaffle. Remove from the heat, cool slightly and dust with icing sugar or cinnamon sugar – serve with fresh berries. Continue in the same manner with the second jaffle. Serve with vanilla ice cream and more of the milk-tart filling.
