Add the softened Hera, egg and salt to the flour and starter and work into a smooth dough, then divide it into 6 pieces.

Roll out each piece into a flat round and cut it into eighths with a pastry wheel.

Put a little custard on each eighth and roll it up into a crescent.

Arrange the crescents on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for about 20–25 minutes.
