FOR THE FILLING: combine the ingredients for the filling and distribute over the two pieces of pastry so that at the cut edge of each a border of 1 in. (2cm) is left free of filling. Roll up each piece of pastry, starting from the outer ong edge. Entwine the two roll together and lay as a ring on a greased baking sheet. Brush with milk and make cuts half in. (1cm) deep in the surface. OVEN: moderately hot BAKING TIME: about 30 minutes ----
