22
Now you can prepare the pastry mix in two ways.
23
First Method: ground mix the work surface and rolling pin.
24
If you had cut it into 2 large pieces, then take one of the large pieces and roll it out into a very large circle.
25
Take a dish with a wide rim (about 5 inches) and cut out three circles.
26
Place about 3 heaping tablespoons of the filling onto 1/2 of each circle.
27
Dip a finger into the liquid and moisten the edges of the pastry.
28
Fold over the other half and press to seal.
29
Take a fork and crimp the edges.
30
Cut off any extra to make it look neat and uniform.
31
Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and continue to work until you have rolled all the pastry mix and filled the patties.
32
Second Method: If you had pre-cut the pastry mix into individual pieces, work with one piece of pastry mix at a time.
33
Roll it out on a floured surface into a 5-inch circle or a little larger.
34
Don’t worry if the edges are not marvelous.
35
Place 3 heaping tablespoons of the filling on one side of the circle.
36
Dip a finger into the liquid and moisten the edges of the pastry.
37
Fold over the other half and press to seal.
38
Take a fork and crimp the edges.
39
Cut off any extra to make it look neat and uniform.
40
Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and continue work until you have rolled all the pastry mix and filled the patties.
41
Frying and Serving the Patties
After forming the patties, place the pans in the refrigerator while you bring to temperature the oven to 350 F.
42
Just before adding the pans with the patties to the oven, brush the patties with egg wash.
43
cook thoroughly patties for 30 mins or until golden brown.
