Cooking Instructions

  1. Place flour and salt into a bowl, then rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
  2. Mix in the polenta.
  3. Add the egg yolks, then mix together to form a dough – if the mixture is too dry, add a little cold water until the pastry comes together into a ball.
  4. Wrap pastry in cling film and leave to rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 180ºC.
  6. Roll the pastry out to 3mm thick. Then cut out 10cm circles.
  7. Combine the filling ingredients and mix well, then place two spoonfuls of the mixture in the centre of each pastry round.
  8. Brush the edge with beaten egg, then fold over to encase the filling and form a half-moon shape.
  9. Crimp the edges to seal then place onto a greased baking tray.
  10. Brush the tops with more egg wash, then sprinkle with sea salt flakes and chilli flakes.
  11. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until the pastry is golden and crisp.
  12. Serve with guacamole and sour cream to dip.
