1 To make the filling, combine all the ingredients with your hands until well mixed.

2 To make the pastry, sift the flour into a bowl. Rub in the butter with the salt until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.

3 Lightly mix in the water with your fingertips until the pastry starts to bind. Knead gently for a minute or two then leave to rest for 20 minutes.

4 Preheat the oven to 200C. Grease or line an oven tray.

5 Roll out the pastry then lay the filling in an even row closest to you before rolling.
