I followed the ingredient directions exactly, but I made these tasty little morsels into sausage rolls instead of pasties.<br/>We absolutely loved these, and as I got to the last batch, I added some shredded chicken that I had left over......... that was for the carnivores of the family. :lol:<br/>Then they got mixed up, but no-one seemed to mind as everybody loved these.Not to hard to make and a wonderful tasting pastie/sausage roll appears at the end.<br/>Will be making these a few more times Sonya.....Great recipe.
