Buy a packet of ready mixed pastry and follow the instructions to make it up, on a floured surface roll out a knob of the pastry and look at it, amazed it has become both flat and round, pilev a mix of grated cheese and finely sliced onion onto this round of pastry and after wetting the edges fold over to form a half circle . Press around the edges with a fork if you want it fancy, your thumb if plain, cut a small hole in the top to allow steam to escape and shove it into the oven for as long as it takes to make the pastry stiff and the cheese runny. Allow to cool before eating the first one as a badly scalded pair of lips wil be no use to you this weekend.
ENJOY...
