Roll out some puff paste into a thin sheet, cut as many rounds with a
large patty cutter as are needed; put a spoonful of any kind of jam,
strawberry, raspberry, currant, etc., or mince meat or puree of apples
on each, moisten the edges of the pastry with water, fold one-half over
the other, making them into half moons, brush with beaten egg and bake
in a quick oven. They may be varied by sifting coarse sugar and nuts
over them before baking.
