I used this as a base - http://www.minimins.com/sw-sizzling-summer-recipes/218827-instant-mash-pasties.html I did add an egg to the mash mixture though.
My filling was a bag of spinach, a handful of chopped red onion, 150g of feta and half a tub of quark. I just chucked that in a pan till it was all gooey, then filled the 'pastry' up and sealed it. That made 3 big pastries. One each for me and hubby, and one for tomorrow's lunch.
