about eight to ten minutes — well covered. Have ready some han¬
dles cut from green pepper that has been left in ice water to get
crispy; put a handle in each basket. Arrange on a paper doily, with

wide — of the pastry; twist in corkscrew style; put it in a narrow
horseshoe shape on a baking pan and bake until golden brown.
When ready to serve, fill. Stick a handle in each and serve very
hot in a ring style on a paper doily or napkin. Put in the centre
