4. Place one heaped tablespoon of the filling on one half of the circle. Break an egg into a bowl and beat lightly with a fork. Brush the other half of the dough with a little beaten egg. Then fold the pastry over to form a semi-circle. Press the edges together, making sure there is no air trapped. Then mark the edges with a fork seal them.
