My first try at bird pastry tempted Blackcaps into the garden for the first time.
Here's the recipe I came up with. I haven't seen a lot of recipes written fully down so please share your own recipes for bird pastry!
Plain flour - 250g Lard - 125g Peanuts - 100g Sultanas & raisins - 100g Apple - 1
Grind up the peanuts, sultanas and raisins together in the food processor. Mix the lard and flour in the food processor. Mix the two mixtures together. Chop the apple and mix it in. Use water and flour as needed until you have a dough like consistency.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Is it safe to feed birds steamed dough?
Well done Rokusii when I made my bird pastry I too got a male and a female blackcap in my garden as well as the usual garden birds they absolutely love it
Maybe Hazy and Doggie(Alan)would re post their recipes....Oooh!!! long time favourites
