1/8 teaspoon salt

Roll pastry out and cut in 8-inch circles. Place generous portions of the mixture on half of the pastry rounds; fold the pastry over and pinch the edges tightly together. Bake in 450 degree F oven for 10 minutes.
Reduce heat to 350 degrees F and bake about 35 to 40 minutes longer or until golden brown.
