Cheese and Tuna



Curry Chicken Meat


Empty horns


This recipe was copied from someone a very very long time ago.By the look of the picture and the recipe,I would like to make,but I can never find the patty horn mould until last week I saw at the DIY bakery equipment shop while I was buying some ingredients for making mooncakes.

4.  Wind each strip around horn mould to form horns.Rest for 5 minutes.

5.  Glaze horns with egg and bake at 425°F/220°C for 10-15 minutes.
