Preheat the oven to gas 6 / 200C / 400°F and line a baking tray
Roll or pat out the pastry on a floured surface until half a cm thick, dust lightly with flour
Get 2 round cookie cutters, one must fit inside the other and leave at least 8mm of a space between it and the larger cutter
Using the cookie cutters, cut circles out with the larger of the 2. Mark a circle inside with the smaller cutter but don't cut right through
Place on the baking tray and brush the tops lightly with milk
Bake for 15 minutes or until risen and golden
Let cool on a wire rack
Pinch out the centres and fill with whatever you like. Sandwich fillers are great and you can use for both sweet and savoury fillings
The cases will keep a day in an airtight container before filling them, then serve immediately
To make the fillings, mix 50g of the main ingredient (cooked chicken / ham & pineapple / prawns) with 25g of the binding ingredient (cream cheese / mayo / tikka sauce) and a tsp or two of fresh herbs or other ingredients such as mustard, ketchup, yogurt etc and combine well. That amount will be enough to fill 6 cases giving you plenty of variety
See my profile for free-from recipes for mayo, ketchup, cream cheese, yogurt etc all listed 'Vickys.........'
FYI, Jus-Rol do a gluten-free vegan puff pastry which is great for these. Violife do a gluten-free vegan cream cheese.
