  • Once the spinach is cool, squeeze out all of the liquid.
  • Roll out the pastry and cut out 4 discs, The first two discs should be roughly 1 inch wider than the size of your butternut squash slices. The other two should be roughly another inch wider than that.

  • Brush with the soy milk.
  • Bake in the centre of the oven for 30-35 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden.
