Using a saucer as a guide, cut out 24 rounds about 12.5 cm (5 in) in diameter from the filo pastry, cutting 6 rounds from each sheet.

Stack the filo rounds in a pile, then seal with cling film to prevent them from drying out.

Top with a second round and brush with a little fat, then place a third round on top and brush with fat.

Place a heaped tbsp of the filling in the middle of the round, then fold the pastry over to make a half-moon shape.
13
Fold in the edges, twisting them to seal, and place on a non-stick baking sheet.
14
Repeat with the remaining pastry and filling to make 8 briks in all.

Lightly brush the briks with the remaining fat.
