Winter Scallop Pies

Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease four individual baking dishes.

Heat a large frypan over low heat. Add the butter and shallot, and cook for 3 minutes, or until softened. Add the flour and cook for 2 minutes, whilst stirring. Add the milk and stock, ½ cup at a time, stirring constantly. Once smooth, place the Ferguson scallop meat into the sauce. Cook for 2 minutes, before turning off the heat. Add the tarragon, peas, lemon zest and a big pinch of salt and pepper, and stir through.

Divide the scallop mixture between the four baking dishes. Cover each with puff pastry, and press onto the edges of the baking dish. Cut to neaten the edges, before brushing with egg wash. Place in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
