How to build your beef wellington
- Place your cooled pancakes on a clean surface
- To the centre of each pancake add ½ the mushroom paste and spread out.
- Place the fillet on top of the mushroom paste and then wrap the pancake around the steak.
- On a clean surface lay out your pastry.
- Place one pancake parcel in the middle of each of the pastries, brush the edges of the pastry with an egg wash. When ready fold the pastry around the pancake parcel and trim away any excess pastry.
- 11.When your mini wellingtons are assembled bring back your egg wash and glaze the top side of each parcel.
- 12.Once glazed lightly score each parcel before putting them both in the pre-heated oven for 12-14 minutes.

your choice of sides.
