Method

Preheat oven to gas mark 7, 220 deg cel.
Sieve the flour and salt into a mixing bowl, then rub in the margarine until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Gradually add cold water, mixing to make a stiff dough.
Don't over-handle the pastry as this will make it tough.
Put in a plastic bag and allow to rest in the fridge for about 1/2 hour.
Roll out the pastry on a floured work surface until 1/4cm thick.
Use a small plate to cut out circles of pastry.
Place a filling in a line across the circle, then paint around edge with milk, pulling the two sides together and pinch along the join with finger and thumb making sure pasty is well sealed.
Bake in the oven for 20 mins or until pasatry is golden brown.
