Trial and error are our teachers. Agree though sometimes chemistry, especially in baking, plays an important part and a professional will know the answer. Love your pasties, got to try them. Reminds me of the famous Felities Chicken Patties in Colaba, Bombay. A chef friend of mine from India told me how to make them. Here's how the filling is made: Boil chicken breasts in about two cups of water. To flavor add an onion cut in quarters. Ginger and garlic slivers. A chopped green chilli, and salt. Remove the chicken breasts when done. Dice fine or shred. Strain the stock and make a white sauce with it -- butter and flour. Season again with nutmeg and white or black pepper. Here, you can cheese if you like and sliced almonds. Pastry: Puff Pastry Line mini tart pans with circles of puff pastry. Fill with chicken filling. Brush the top of the pastry circles with a little egg wash. Put a puff pastry lid on and lightly press to secure. Insert a slit or two for steam to escape. Brush with egg wash for a nice glace and bake in a 375F oven till done. They were delicious and vanished. I like them open faced too with a cream cheese pastry. When done garnish with a hint of paprika and a corriander leaf for color. This way, you can bake the shells in advance and fill at the eleventh hour.
