Heat the butter in a small saucepan, add flour and stir for one minute.

PASTRY

Cut out small rounds.
Place a little of the filling onto half of each round.
Brush edges of pastry with a little water.
Fold over and press to seal.
Dip each one into beaten egg and then into breadcrumbs.
Deep-fry in oil over a medium heat until cooked through and crisp.
