  I've prepared mine and frozen them, so don't yet know the final result, but I had problems with the sauce escaping when I folded and sealed the pastry into a crescent. Also the mixture made loads more than implied and I ran out of pastry after making 14 using about half the mix - tasted great though!

  The duck filling is delicious but you will need twice as much pastry to use it all. Ching's way of rolling the pastry is quite wasteful as you will get a lot of trimmings that can't easily be re-rolled as it's puff pastry. It would be better to cut the pastry block into even pieces first, then roll them out into squares and then fold them in half to make your puffs into triangles (or if you really want half-moon shapes then cut circles out from the squares).

  Very easy to make the filling but was a little nervous that it might be too sweet. Went down a real treat served cold at the staff picnic. As recommended above I made triangles rather than half-moon shapes and used double the quantity of pastry. I will certainly be making these again!

  The recipe is very easy to follow, and the result was mouth watering. It will certainly become a family favourite.

  the filling was utterly delicious, but it was a bit weird with puff pastry. next time i will use dim sum dumpling dough, to make pot-stickers. there are loads of recipes online, or you can buy the dough ready made from a Chinese supermarket. they are really easy and really tasty!
