[Sca-cooks] pasties

[Susan Fox]

Squish shortbread or sugar cooky dough into small muffin tins.  Par-bake 
until set but not browned.  Put onto each a spoon of almond paste, 
smooth out a little, place some slivered or sliced almonds thereon, bake 
until browned.  

Another one tart treatment I've seen lately on Food Network involves 
three leaves of phyllo, spray with a cooking spray [!! but it does make 
an even layer of not too much lube, unlike the usual 
butter-and-paintbrush method], sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, layer them 
together and cut into squares.  Take a set of the layered squares and 
pat into a [sprayed] muffin tin, bake blind.  She then put chocolate 
pudding in it but you know better things I'm sure.

Good luck!
