How to make it
- Preheat your oven to 400° F
- Grease a large baking sheet
- In a small bowl, beat the egg with the cream and set aside.
- In another bowl, combine the remaining ingredients for the filling.
- Stir in a little more than half of the egg and cream mixture.
- Reserve the rest to use as an egg wash
- Roll out the puff pastry dough into a very thin square or rectangle.
- With a sharp knife or pastry wheel, cut the dough into 16 to 20 squares. Divide the filling into an equal number of portions, spooning each portion onto the middle of a square of dough.
- Dab a little egg wash on the edges of one square of dough.
- Fold the dough over the filling to make either a triangular or rectangular pastry, and press the edges together.
- Further seal the pastries by pressing around the edges with the tines of a fork.
- Transfer the pastry to the baking sheet, and repeat with the remaining squares of dough.
- Note: the pastries may be covered with plastic and placed in the freezer. Once frozen, they can be transferred to a plastic freezer bag or box.
- Thaw for 30 minutes at room temperature before baking.
- Brush the tops of the pastries with the egg wash and prick each pastry once or twice with a fork to create steam vents.
- Bake the pastries for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Cool on a rack for at least several minutes before serving.
