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.
