Posh Prawn & Smoked Salmon Pasties Recipe

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened.

Add the prawns and cook until pink and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

In the same pan, melt the butter and whisk in the flour to create a roux. Cook for a minute until it starts to turn golden.

Slowly whisk in the milk, making sure there are no lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens.

Stir in the chopped smoked salmon, lemon zest, dill, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute.

Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool slightly.

Roll out the puff pastry and using a round cutter, cut out circles that are about 10cm (4 inches) in diameter.

Place a spoonful of the prawn and salmon mixture onto one half of each pastry circle.

Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg and fold the pastry over to form a half-circle shape. Press the edges together to seal.

Transfer the pasties onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden and puffed.

Serve warm and enjoy!
