Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk until a dough forms.
Tip: Don't overmix the dough.

Tip: The syrup will make the dough sticky, so be careful not to overmix.
- 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan to 180°C.
Tip: Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the right temperature.

Pipe the dough into long, thin strips and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Tip: Don't overcrowd the pan, fry in batches if necessary.

Cranberry and Walnut Rolls
These Cranberry and Walnut Rolls are my go to when I want something special but don't have all day in the kitchen. With just 90 minutes from start to finish, they're surprisingly simple to make at home. The tart cranberries and crunchy walnuts create such a delicious combination, and I love that walnuts are packed with omega 3 fatty acids which are great for your heart. They're perfect for a weekend breakfast or to impress guests without breaking the bank. The warm cinnamon filling and sweet icing glaze make them feel indulgent, but honestly, once you make them once, you'll find yourself baking them again and again.

Flaky, buttery croissants filled with a sweet and sticky treacle filling, perfect for a breakfast treat or snack.
