Method:

Preheat the oven to 180 ºC. Grease the underside of a patty pan lightly with butter or spray with non-stick spray. Sift the cake flour, baking powder and salt together and rub in the butter. Add the sugar, mixing well. Beat the egg and mix into the dry ingredients to form a slightly stiff dough. Knead well and roll out about 2 mm thick on a lightly floured surface. Press out circles with a small cookie cutter. The circles should be big enough to fit over the ‘humps’ on the inverted patty pan. Brush dough circles with melted butter and then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and place them over the ‘humps’. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the pastry just begins to brown. Remove while still warm or they will break. Beat the cream and castor sugar until stiff. Fold the chopped nuts into the mixture carefully. Spoon or pipe into the pastry shells.
Makes 30 – 35 pastry shells.
