  • 1/2 ounce unsalted butter
  • 1/2 ounce flour
  • 6 ounces puff pastry
  • 4 -6 tablespoons milk
  • black pepper
  • grated nutmeg
  • 1 egg, beaten

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F, roll out the pastry to 1/4-inch thickness and divide into 8 squares.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the bacon and fry gently until it is lightly coloured, and then add the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring.
  • Gradually add the milk little by little, stirring all the time, until the mixture boils and thickens.
  • Cook for 1 minute and then add the pepper and nutmeg.
  • Place a spoonful of this mixture on the pastry squares, dampen the edges with a little beaten egg and fold over to form triangles.
  • Press the edges well together and knock up the edges with the back of a knife.
  • Put the parcels on a lightly greased baking sheet, brush the top of each with a little beaten egg and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and risen.
