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.
20 plus years that I had kept this recipe.It was such a very long time ago.Now we had it on the internet.

2.  Add second egg and continue mixing till dough is lumpy.Set aside for 5 minutes.

3.  Roll out dough to 4mm thickness.Cut lengthwise into long strips about 11/2cm x 20cm.

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.
