For the crust: preheat the oven to 350. portion the pastry in 8 triangles allowing the dough to soften. Next brush the interior of the dough with egg wash. Fill with 2-3 ounces of filling. Bring the tip of the triangle to the edge to fold the sides and seal the pasties. Press the sides down to seal and bake for 20-25 minutes.
