3) Put a little tomato, cheese and an anchovy fillet in the center of each.
4) Add pepper to season.
5) Use water to brush the sides of the pastry circles and press together well after folding.
6) Seal fully by rolling the edges once again.
7) Transfer this on a plate and wrap and allow refrigeration for about 15 minutes.
8) Into a deep fryer with basket, pour enough oil so that it comes up halfway to the sides of the basket.
9) Maintain the temperature of the oil to 375° (This is the temperature at which a stale bread cube is browned in just 50 seconds).
10) Put 2 or 3 puffs into the oil and heat for about 5 minutes, tossing once till it becomes golden brown and crunchy on both sides.
