List of ingredients for Crayfish and cream cheese puffs


* 500 g (1 lb) packet of Jus Rol pre-rolled Puff pastry
* 240g of prepared crayfish
* 2 tablespoons nam pla - optional, but it makes the crawdaddies even fishier!
* 200 g full Fat Cream cheese
* 4 finely chopped Spring onions
* 2.5 cm (1") Ginger, skinned and very finely Julienned, then chopped
* Salt and Freshly ground black pepper to taste

===Method===

* Finely chop the Spring onions, Julienne the Ginger and mix into into the Cream cheese.
* Season the Cream cheese mixture with Black pepper.
* Stir the crayfish into the cream cheese mixture.
* Spoon half the cream cheese mixture onto one half of each sheet of pastry, leaving 2 cm [3/4 inch] clear to ensure a good seal.
* Brush the edges with milk or water to make a good join.
* Press the edges together with your fingers, then use the tines of a fork to crimp the edges.
* Brush the top surface with a little milk or a beaten egg to help them brown.
* Make a slashes in the top of the pastry to allow steam to escape.
* Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until the pastry has risen and is golden Brown. Check them after 20 minutes as you are only waiting for the pastry to cook. The filling only needs to heat up.
