Bereiding (voorbeeld)

1. 1

   In small bowl, with pastry blender or 2 knives, cut margarine into flour until mixture resembles corn meal; sprinkle with ice water and, using fork, mix to form soft dough.

2. 2

   Roll dough between 2 sheets of wax paper to form rectangle about 1/4 inch thick; remove paper and use 2-inch diameter plain or fluted cookie cutter to cut dough into rounds.

3. 3

   Roll scraps of dough and continue cutting until all dough has been used (should yield 24 rounds).

4. 4

   Combine pork (or ham), cheese, mustard, and red pepper in small bowl and set aside.

5. 5

   Preheat oven to 375.

6. 6

   Beat egg white lightly and brush an equal amount onto each pastry round.

7. 7

   Spoon an equal amount of the meat mixture (about 1/2 rounded teaspoon) onto center of each round; fold pastry over, turnover-fashion, to enclose filling.

8. 8

   Press edges of dough together to seal.

9. 9

   Transfer turnovers to nonstick cookie sheet.

    Add milk to egg yolk and beat lightly; brush an equal amount of mixture over each turnover and sprinkle each with a dash of paprika.
