Method :

To make the pastry, mix the flour and salt together.
Cut the butter into 3/4 in cubes and stir it into the flour without breaking it up.
Add enough water and lemon juice to make a fairly stiff dough.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry to an oblong 3 times as long as it is wide.
Fold the bottom third up and the top third down.
Turn the pastry so the folded edges are at the sides and seal the ends with a rolling pin, wrap and chill for 15 minutes.
Repeat the rolling and folding process 3 more times, wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 220C Gas Mark 7, grease a baking sheet.
To make the filling, mix the cheese with the celery, onion, potatoes, mushrooms and herbs, and season with salt and pepper.
Roll out the pastry to an oblong, then cut in half lengthwise to make 2 strips.
Place half the filling down the centre of each strip.
Dampen the edges and fold over, pressing them together.
Flake with a knife and cut the pastry into rolls 1.5-2 in long.
Slash the tops to allow steam to escape.
Place on the baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
Serve with salad leaves.
