Ingredients

Directions

The book says “a quick oven”. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

  1. Line small pate pans with puff pastry and bake at 400°F (200°C).

  2. Stir minced chicken, well seasoned, into a good white sauce and mix well.

  3. Fill the pastry shells with the chicken mixture and bake until slightly browned.

  4. Serve immediately.

Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
