Delicious Pastries

I am always in favour of quick baking, particularly if the end result is chocolatey-good. This recipe (I think) came from a recent Vogue Entertaining and Travel. I have a bad habit of ripping recipes out of magazines and forgetting where they have come from. If anyone can confirm/set-me-straight on the source I'd very much appreciate it.

But...I digress. I used frozen butter puff pastry for this. Once the pastry has thawed, use a biscuit cutter to cut out circles (the original recipe suggests making them larger by tracing around a saucer). Lay your circles of pastry on a lined tray and place a few squares of chocolate in the centre. Add a top circle of pastry (the same size as the bottom), and pinch the sides together with your fingers. Brush with a little beaten egg, and bake at for about twenty minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed. I suggest using the instructions on the pastry pack as a guide for the oven temperature.

These are great eaten straight from the oven, dusted with icing sugar, with a blob of cream on the side. Just watch out for the hot chocolate.
