2. Mix the corn flour to a smooth paste with a little water then stir it into the meat. Bring to the boil, lower the heat and simmer for 3 minutes.

3. Mix the flour and salt then rub in the fat and mix to a pastry with just enough water. Roll out thinly and cut into 10cm/4 in rounds. Put the meat mixture on one half and fold the pastry over, sealing the edges with water.

4. Heat the oil and fry the puffs until browned on both sides. Drain on kitchen paper and serve hot.
