Rough Puff Pastry
8 oz Plain (all purpose) flour
1 pinch Of salt
6 oz Margarine
6 tbsp To 8 tb cold water


1. Sieve the flour and salt into a mixing bowl. 2. Cut the margarine
into small pieces (size of a walnut). Add to the flour and toss
lightly with the fingertips so that each piece of margarine is coated
with flour - but not broken up. 3. Add 6 Tablespoons water and mix
lightly with the blade of a knife into a soft dough, making sure that
the pieces of margarine are kept whole. If some of the flour is
loose in the bowl, add a little more water and mix until it is worked
in and the dough fairly soft. 4. Gather together with the fingertips,
turn out onto a well-floured board and again sprinkle with flour. 5.
Form into a small oblong, flour the rolling pin and roll lightly and
carefully to a strip approximately 10 inches by 5 inches. 6. Brush
off any surplus flour. Fold into three by folding the bottom third
upwards and the top third downwards and over to cover it. 7. Lightly
press the three open edges with the rolling pin to seal.

Second Rolling:

8. Turn the pastry round on the board so that the right hand edge
faces you. Roll out to a strip approximately 9 inches by 6 inches. 9.
Brush off any surplus flour. Fold into three again and seal the
edges. Place on a floured plate; sprinkle with flour; cover with a
damp cloth or plastic bag and leave in a cold place for 20 minutes.

Third and Fourth Rollings:

10. Repeat stages 8 and 9 for the third rolling (the resting period
can be omitted) and again for the fourth rolling. (If the dough is
streaky and rough in appearance, give it a fifth rolling. 11. After
the last rolling and final resting, the pastry is ready to roll to
the thickness stated in the recipe used.

Following is the recipe for Eccles Cakes, using this pastry.

Advice on losing weight

If you enjoy your food, but need to regain your youthful figure and make improvements in your overall vitality, without doubt you really should commence a thoughtfully designed wholesome weight loss program. At best, this must take in 5 standard portions of fruit & vegetables each day and contain the correct mix of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.

When deciding on a dietary regime, it is important to make sure you decrease consumption of salt, fat and refined carbohydrate.

When buying food, dieters far too often concentrate on supermarket and brand name food products claiming to be 'low fat'. This is usually incorrect, since a food item may be reduced in fat, but still high in calories.

Drink plenty of water. Your body needs water , it is indispensable for our general good health and is blessed with calories and fat. It also has the benefit that it fills a dieter's stomach and helps reduce sensations of hunger. The recommended portions researchers claim that we should aim to drink at the minimum 6 tumblers of water a day.

Rather than thinking about those food types you need to leave out of your diet, look at the good foods which you are able to bring into your daily routine. If you can bring in the recommended portions nutritious grains, fruit and vegetables into your daily routine, you'll find that you feel more full and have a far lower chance of giving in to those detrimental midday chocolates.
