Notes about this recipe

  • Ro_ on May 22, 2023

    On the one hand these were quite fiddly to make - scoring the squares into the pastry, part baking and then getting the scored bit out didn't really go to plan. Some of my pastry ended up too cooked, not much of it was very puffed up, and getting out the squares was very delicate and I lost about a quarter of the batch because they ended up getting massive holes in them. On the other hand, the filling was easy to make and I like that they could be assembled ahead of time before baking. And most importantly, my guests really loved them, the chicken and bechamel filling was very creamy, tasty and indulgent. I couldn't get tarragon so I used lemon thyme which was nice.
