Instructions
1
Make the laminated dough
mix flour, salt and cold water into a smooth, stiff ball, then rest 20 minutes under a damp cloth.
2
Roll the dough into a thin rectangle, dot with softened butter, fold into thirds, and chill 15 minutes; repeat the roll-fold-chill sequence twice more to build the layers.
3
Roll the rested dough out to a 2-3mm thick rectangle and cut into two long strips about 6cm wide.
4
Roll each strip around a lightly oiled metal cone or dowel to form a spiral tube, pinching the end to seal.
5
Place the rolls seam-side down on a baking sheet and bake at 190C/375F for 16-18 minutes until deep golden and crisp, then cool on a wire rack and slide off the moulds.
6
While the pastry bakes, whisk warmed milk with sugar and cornstarch in a small pan over low heat, stirring constantly until thickened into a smooth pastry cream; cool slightly.
7
Fold the mascarpone and vanilla extract into the cooled pastry cream until smooth, then transfer to a piping bag.
8
Once the pastry tubes are completely cool, pipe the cream filling into both ends of each roll.
9
Brush the filled rolls lightly with warmed honey and scatter crushed pistachio over the exposed cream at each end.
10
Serve immediately while the pastry is still crisp.
