1. Preheat the oven to 190°C or 375°F.

2. In a large mixing bowl combine the flour and salt then add the cold butter and use a pastry blender or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3. Gradually add the ice-cold water stirring with a fork until the dough comes together in a ball.

4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead a few times until smooth.

5. Divide the dough into 5 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball then flatten each ball slightly into a disk.

6. Place a spoonful of broccoli florets in the center of each disk leaving a 1/2 inch or 1 cm border around the edges and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese.

7. Fold the pastry over the filling pressing the edges to seal and use a fork to crimp the edges.

8. Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper leaving about 2.5 cm or 1 inch of space between each pastry.

9. Brush the tops with a little water and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

10. Serve warm garnished with fresh herbs and additional grated parmesan cheese if desired.
