Notes
- Don't take the pastry out of the fridge too soon, as depending on how hot your kitchen is, the pastry might get too warm and it's difficult to work with. Take it out only about 10 minutes before you need to, so it isn't too cold either, as that will cause it to crack.
- The key to making these is not over stuffing the pastry, as they won't seal very well.
- You can add some fresh parsley to lighten it up a little bit.
- Make sure to generously season the mixture with salt and pepper.
- Don't forget to make the little incision at the top of the pastry before putting them in the oven.
- Be careful when eating, as the filling will be piping hot!
