Homemade Pesto Scrolls
This recipe is from my wonderful grandma, who was one of the best bakers I have ever known.
Total cost: approx. $5 (less if you skip add-ins)
Servings: Makes 8–10 scrolls
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 13 minutes
Ingredients
1 cup flour (plus up to 1/3 cup extra if needed)
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1 1/2 cups grated cheese (any kind)
Optional fillings: pesto, chutney, salami, more cheese
Method
Preheat oven to 220°C (428°F).
In a large bowl, mix all ingredients until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add flour a little at a time until it’s workable.
Roll the dough out into a rectangle. Spread with pesto or any fillings you like, then roll up and slice into scrolls.
Place on a lined baking tray and bake for 13 minutes or until golden and puffed.
Serve warm with the soup or on their own as a snack.
