Ingredients

15g butter

15g plain flour, plus extra for rolling

Pinch of cayenne

1 level tsp Dijon mustard

150ml semi-skimmed milk

50g mature Cheddar, grated

198g can Green Giant Reduced Salt & Sugar sweetcorn, drained

150g roast turkey, cut into small pieces

50g cooked gammon or ham, cut into small pieces

500g Jus-Rol Ready-to-Roll Shortcrust Pastry

75g cranberry sauce

1 egg, beaten

Thyme sprigs (optional)

Method

1
Pre-heat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Melt the butter in a pan. Remove from the heat and stir in the flour, cayenne and mustard to to make a smooth paste.
2
Gradually stir in the milk. Bring to the boil, whisking all the time, until smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese. Tip into a bowl and add the sweetcorn. Leave to cool, then mix in the turkey and gammon or ham.
3
Roll out the pastry to the thickness of a £1 coin. Cut out stars, rounds and thin strips.
4
Divide the filling between the pastry cases and add 1 tsp cranberry sauce to each. Top with stars, lids or lattices, attaching the strips to the cases with some beaten egg.
5
Brush the tops with the rest of the egg. Bake for 25 minutes until golden. Serve garnished with thyme, if you like.
