Rivka'S Vol-Au-Vents

1. 1

   Fry the onion in oil until golden, add the mushrooms and cook until soft.

2. 2

   Add the mushroom cube dissolved in water.

3. 3

   Cook a further few minutes, and add the cornflour paste to thicken, if needed.

4. 4

   (Rivka's comment-- I like the consistency to be fairly thick and creamy, but if you prefer it thinner just add a little water.) To make the cases: Roll our the pastry and cut into circles with a cookie cutter-- you will need to make double the amount of circles than cases needed.

5. 5

   Cut half the circles with a smaller circle cutter to make an O shape in the center.

6. 6

   Brush a beaten egg on to the surface of the solid circles, then lay the O shaped circles on tipe and brush again with the egg.

7. 7

   Bake on greaseproof paper or on oiled baking sheets at 350 degrees F till well risen and golden, about 1/2 an hour.

8. 8

   Cool and fill with the warm filling and serve.
