Da has requested that the next time that I bake tuna puffs, I use canned chilli tuna as he found that the curry tuna not spicy enough for him.
2 1/2 cups plain flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
4 tbsp butter (cold)
1 egg (lightly beaten)
water
3 cans of curry tuna
1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celsius.
2. Drain the gravy from the tuna using a sieve. Mash up the tuna and add enough gravy to keep the tuna moist without making it watery.
3. Sieve the self-raising flour, salt and bicarbonate of soda.
4. Add the butter to the flour mixture. Using your finger tips, rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles breadcrumbs.
5. Add the egg and gradually add water until you are able to form a dough.
6. Turn the dough onto a floured board and knead the dough until it is smooth.
7. Roll out the dough and cut into rounds of about 2 1/2" in diameter.
8. Flatten each round with a rolling pin and fill the centre with 1 tbsp of the filling.
9. Moisten the edges of the dough with water and fold the dough into half. Press down the edges using the teeth of the fork.
10. Bake for 25 minutes or until the tuna puffs are light golden brown.
