CHICKEN OR STEAK MOONS

CRUNCHY CRESCENT DELIGHTS:

MOON SAVORIES 

"Welcome to a culinary adventure where simplicity meets savory delight – today, we're exploring the art of crafting delectable half-moon pockets filled with flavorful goodness. Our savory moons, with their golden-brown crust and mouthwatering fillings, are a versatile treat that can be enjoyed fresh or conveniently frozen for future cravings.

The magic begins with a straightforward dough recipe, where water, butter, salt, and flour unite to form a soft, play-dough-like canvas. After a quick boil and knead, this dough becomes the foundation for our half-moon delights.

For the filling, we've curated a tempting combination of chicken (or steak), aromatic spices, and a medley of sauces. This savory concoction, featuring a hint of chili, garlic, ginger, and an array of flavorful powders, is elevated with the creamy goodness of mayonnaise and the zing of lemon juice.

Once the dough is rolled out and cut into circles, it's time to fill them with the savory mixture, creating the iconic half-moon shape. A dip in beaten egg and a coating of breadcrumbs add the perfect finishing touch. The result? A heavenly combination of textures and flavors that will leave you craving more.

Feel free to experiment with your favorite fillings and sauces, but remember to keep them on the less saucy side to maintain the integrity of the moon shape. And the best part? You can freeze these savory moons for a quick and delicious meal anytime.

So, roll up your sleeves, preheat your oven, and join us on a journey to create these delightful half-moon pockets. Get ready to savor the joy of homemade goodness and the anticipation of flavor-filled moments!"
