  • Preheat oven to 200C.
  • Heat butter over low heat and cook onion until soft but not coloured. Stir in the flour and cook a couple of mins, then stir in salmon liquid and milk and cook, stirring, until the mixture boils and thickens.
  • Cool completely, then stir in drained and flaked salmon and divide into 6 portions.
  • Using 11cm and 12cm cutters, cut out 6 rounds of each size from the pastry sheets. Flute the larger rounds in a pretty pattern and make a small hole in the middle so steam can escape.
  • Divide salmon mixture between the 6 smaller rounds, brush edges of pastry with egg, top with larger rounds and press to seal.
  • Glaze top of puffs with beaten egg, place on greased oven tray and bake for 20-30mins, or until well browned.
