Step 10

Roll out the chilled dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/8 inch thickness.

Step 11

Cut the dough into 8 circles using a small bowl or cutter (about 5 inches in diameter).

Step 12

Place a spoonful of the meat filling in the center of each dough circle.

Step 13

Fold the dough over the filling and press the edges to seal, creating half-moon-shaped pastries.

Step 14

Transfer the pastries to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 15

Brush the tops of each pastry with beaten egg to encourage browning.
