Preparation

Make a soft dough by moistening the flour with a two-to-one mix of milk and oil.
Knead then leave to prove for about an hour. In the meantime prepare fillings.
Form discs of dough and place a teaspoon of mixture in the centre. Fold the dough over the mixture to form half moons. Crimp the edges with a knife or fork, place on a greased baking tray and brush with a little beaten egg.
Bake in a moderate oven for about 30 minutes.
