  • 2
    On a lightly floured surface, roll pastry out to 1/8" thickness. Cut into 6" rounds. Place about 1/2 cup filling on one half of each. Fold the pastry over the filling and crimp edges to seal.

    Brush lightly with beaten egg white, and cut three slits in the top to allow for steam to escape. Place on baking sheet.
