Directions:When ready to bake, preheat oven to 325º
Put 1/3 c flour on dough board. Pat dough in flour to make softer. Work all flour into dough. This will make the dough less sticky and much easier to deal with when rolling out. Roll out to large rectangle, adding flour as needed. Spread 1/3 of paste on dough. Fold dough in thirds lengthwise and then thirds widthwise. Place in wax paper and freeze for 1/2 hour. Place lid on butter mixture. Roll dough out to large rectangle again, and repeat process with paste. This rectangle should be larger than first rectangle as there is now more to the dough. Make sure to maintain an even thickness to the dough. Place again in wax paper and freeze for 1/2 hour. The paste will either be used up after the 3rd or 4th time. Once paste has been depleted, place dough in fresh wax paper and put in a ziplock bag in the fridge overnight. Cut brown packing paper into 4” squares. Take dough from fridge. Cut into 4 equal pieces, leaving 1/4th of the dough out to be rolled. Put balance back in fridge. Pat dough down slightly. Roll dough into large rectangle. Cut with pizza cutter one finger width apart (using the thumb is generally the best measure). Roll onto paper cones. Place on non-greased pans. Bake 15 minutes, turning tray after 7 minutes. Make sure pan is on the middle shelf of oven. Pastry should be brown on bottom and colored on top. Pull off cones and complete baking until centers are dry. Cool on wax paper. Store on tray covered with wax paper and a thin towel until ready to fill. Fill pastry bag with frosting. Fill pastries carefully, decorating large end of Lady Locke with swirl for presentation effect. There will more than likely be extra filling left at the end. This can be stored in a Tupperware in the fridge until more is needed. Finished pastries can be frozen.
When ready to serve, place on decorative plate and lightly dust with powdered sugar. |
