1. Make the pastry first, place the flour and margarine (or butter) in a bowl, use your fingers to mix it until it looks like breadcrumbs. Add a tablespoon of water and mix well, you may need another tablespoon or two of water but add it a little at a time until the mixture is damp enough to make a ball.
2. Sprinkle a little flour onto the work surface and roll the pastry out to a thickness of half a centimetre. Use a saucer to mark out the circles and cut them out with a knife.
3. Place the individual filling ingredients in a bowl. Mix them together well and add a sprinkling of salt and pepper.
4. Place the pastry circles on a greased baking tray. Place a large spoonful of filling in the middle of each pastry circle. Beat an egg in a bowl and brush a little on the edges of the pastry. Fold over the pastry to cover the filling. With a fork press down on the edges to seal the pastry parcel.
5. Use the pastry brush to paint egg over each finished pastry. Bake the pastries for 25 minutes at 180oC, 350oF, gas mark 4.
