  • 300g diced chorizo

  3. Create a first fold by folding the top of the long rectangle to halfway, and the bottom of the rectangle to cover that half, this will give you 3 layers of pastry. Leave to cool in the freezer for 10 minutes

  5. Fry the chorizo in a frying pan until crispy, then add 1.5 tbsp maple syrup to caramelise
  6. Roll out the pastry to make a large rectangle, 2/3 mm thick then spread on the cream cheese using a spatula and sprinkle over salt and pepper
  7. Sprinkle over the caramelised chorizo
  8. Slice into long triangles and roll from the flat edge to the point to make the mini croissants
  9. Add onto a baking tray and place in the fridge for 15 minutes to cool down
  10. Preheat the oven at 200C fan
  11. Brush the croissants with some egg, wash and bake for 15 to 20 minutes

More about maple

The colour and flavour of maple syrup changes in subtle ways during the seasonal harvest

At the start of the sugaring season, the syrup is generally clear, with a light, sweet taste. It becomes darker with a caramelised flavour as the season progresses throughout the spring.

An unopened can of maple syrup keeps for many years

Once the can is opened, syrup should be kept in an airtight container in a cool place.

Maple spread doesn't contain any butter or dairy products

Like all 100% pure maple products, maple spread comes from the sap of the maple tree — that’s all.
