PASTRY:

1 c. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/3 c. shortening
1/2 c. shredded cheese of choice
3 to 4 tbsp. milk

Cut shortening and cheese into flour and salt. Add milk. Stir with fork until dough holds together. Cover and refrigerate while making filling.

FILLING:

1 tbsp. butter
1 tbsp. onion, chopped
1 tbsp. flour
1/4 c. milk
Dash of salt
Pepper
Dash of marjoram
Dash of thyme
1 can tuna, drained, flaked
Parsley, to taste
1 egg, slightly beaten

Melt butter, saute onion until tender. Blend in flour; add milk, seasonings. Boil, stirring. Remove from heat. Add tuna, parsley, egg; set aside.

Roll pastry 12 x 7 inches. Spread filling longwise down center. Moisten edges and pinch long sides together over filling; seal ends. Place seam-side down on ungreased baking sheet. Brush with milk or a little beaten eggs. Prick for steam.

Bake at 400 degrees for 35-45 minutes. Serve with a cheese, mushroom, or white sauce. Top could be decorated with bits of pastry. Pimento, chopped, can add color to filling.
