Piggy Puffs - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 lb bacon, finely chopped
1/2 ounce unsalted butter
1/2 ounce flour
6 ounces puff pastry
4 -6 tablespoons milk
black pepper
grated nutmeg
1 egg, beaten

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 425\u00b0F, roll out the pastry to 1/4-inch thickness and divide into 8 squares.
Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the bacon and fry gently until it is lightly coloured, and then add the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring.
Gradually add the milk little by little, stirring all the time, until the mixture boils and thickens.
Cook for 1 minute and then add the pepper and nutmeg.
Place a spoonful of this mixture on the pastry squares, dampen the edges with a little beaten egg and fold over to form triangles.
Press the edges well together and knock up the edges with the back of a knife.
Put the parcels on a lightly greased baking sheet, brush the top of each with a little beaten egg and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and risen.
Transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool.
