Makes about 12-14 pies
Ingredients:
For the pastry:
4 cups (500g) all-purpose flour
200g cold Butter, cubed
2 Eggs
1 teaspoon Salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup (60ml) cold water
For the filling:
3/4 pound (350g) Ground beef
1 Potato, peeled and diced into small cubes
1 Large Onion, chopped
1 Large Carrot, peeled and diced
1 cup (240ml) Water/beef broth
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
1 teaspoon Thyme
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons Oil
1 egg for brushing
Directions:
1. Make the pastry: in a large bowl mix together flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Add cubed butter and rub it with the flour until you get a crumbly texture.
2. Beat 2 eggs with cold water and add it to the flour mixture, mix until dough is formed. Do not over mix! Wrap the dough with cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. Make the filling: in a large pan heat oil. Add onion and sauté for 5-6 minutes, until translucent. Add diced carrots and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add the meat and cook, breaking it apart, for 4-5 minutes, until no longer pink. Season with salt, pepper, thyme and flour. stir and cook for 2 minutes more.
4. Add in cubed potatoes stir well. Pour in the water/broth. Stir.
5. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, until thickens. Set aside to cool.
6. Preheat oven to 350F (175C).
7. Divide the dough into 2-4 pieces (you also can roll the whole dough, dividing it just making it easier to work). Roll out the dough into 1/8-inch (1/4 cm) thickness. Cut out a round shape with your desired sized. Combine all the leftover dough and roll it again to make more circles.
8. Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the meat mixture in the center, brush the edges with water and fold over the dough. Seal it with your fingers or with a fork. Poke the pies with a fork to create a steam outlet while baking brush the pies with beaten egg.
9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden. Cool slightly before serving.

Oh i just tasted it now, i made a mistake, i used a little too much oil for the pie filling and didn't add enough flour to thicken it..so it's doing oshmirin-mirin in my mouth... I'll adjust this next time 😌

[@janetrodgers8473]

This is the same as Scottish Meat Pasty, which is delicious. When I went to a secondary School in 1961, it was also one of the basic recipes taught at good old Cookery Lessons. I would come from School make a batch just like that for my Parents and us 6 children once every 9/10days as Mum kept our meals varied. Loved making them.
Unexpected visitors called, made a batch of scones or fairy cakes in time for tea.
No biscuits available to set out in our house.

One of the reasons I thumbed this video up. No talking, just cooking and the video explains itself. Am more interested in what they are about present as in "Food recipe" and not a long speech or how beautiful they look.

Not that it matters. All that matters is how it tastes - and this looks as though it tastes wonderful.

On my side of the world we call it Cornish pie. Super yummy

[@ray83baby]

Thank you. I am a Nigerian and I used your recipe to make meat pie for the first time in my life. I think I used too much butter, cos the dough was a little hard to roll and cut. Other than that, it turned out great. Thank you for sharing this video.

[@truptishinde4036]

Too much butter will make it soft...I used the exact amount and it's soft but I want to add less next time
