  4. Heat 3 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat, add flour and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until a paste forms, about 1 minute.

Stir sauce into corn mixture.

  5. Fill pastry with corn mixture and top each with remaining Parmesan cheese.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 15 minutes.
