Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6.
2. Unroll the pastry, keeping it on the paper sheet and spread evenly with the softened butter. Sprinkle over the dates, walnuts, pear, sugar and cinnamon. Lay the Parma Ham on top.
3. Using the paper under the pastry to help you, roll the filled pastry from the long side enclosing the filling to make a sausage, wrap tightly in cling film and chill for 10 -12 minutes until completely firm.
4. Using a serrated knife, cut into 12 slices. Lay flat-side down into a lightly buttered deep 12-hole muffin tin and press them slightly so they spread out a little.
5. Brush with the tops with a little beaten egg. Sprinkle with sugar and bake for 18-20 minutes until golden. Serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup or honey.
