01

Prepare the Dough

Roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Use a 5-inch round cutter to cut circles. This size gives ideal portion control.

Add the Filling

Spoon 2 tablespoons of your chosen filling onto one half of each circle. Leave a 1cm border around the edge. Don't overstuff — this prevents leakage.

03

Seal & Crimp

Brush edges with beaten egg. Fold pastry over filling to create a half-moon shape. Press edges firmly and crimp with fork tines for a secure seal.

3. Thai Green Curry

Chicken thigh, coconut milk reduction, makrut lime leaves, and bird's eye chili for an Asian-inspired bite.

Pro Tips

Filling: 2 tablespoons maximum per chausson to prevent leakage. Sealing: Egg wash edges, crimp firmly with fork tines. Baking: 400°F (200°C) for optimal rise. Add a water pan for the first 5 minutes for extra steam. Storage: Freeze unbaked for 3 months — add 5 minutes to bake time. Reheat at 350°F for 8 minutes.
