Rub in margarine until mixture resembles

dough. Roll out pastry, cut out four 20.4cm (8")
circles of pastry and dampen edge with water.
3 Spoon ham mixture into the centre of each pastry
circle. Fold pastry over to form a semi-circle pasty.
Pinch edges together and brush surface with egg.

(MEDIUM HIGH) for 10 minutes until brown and
crispy. Repeat for the remaining two pasties.
Microwave Tip: Drying herbs
Place a handful of fresh herbs between two sheets of kitchen paper on the turntable. Heat on MEDIUM
HIGH for 2 minutes until dry. Ensure the herbs do not become too dry. Woody herbs take a little longer to
dry than leafy herbs.
