Mini Pie

Sam made his lunch order...he said he wanted some meat pie for lunch so I made him some simple mini pies.

Mini pie

2 cups plain flour

1 tbsp icing sugar

150 gr butter

2-3 tablespoons iced water

egg yolk for brushing

1. Preheat the oven to 180C. Brush two 12 cup shallow patty tins lightly with melted butter.

2. Place flour, sugar and butter in a food processor. process until the mixture is fine and crumbly. Add almost all the water and process until the mixture comes together. Turn onto a lightly floured surface, press together until smooth. Roll out two thirds of the pastry and use a biscuit cutter to cut out 24 circles. Fit the circles into prepared tins.

3. Divide the meat filling between pastry cases. Roll out the remaining pastry, cut out 12 circles with the same cutter. Press edges to seal. Brush with egg yolk. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden. Leave in the tins for 5 minutes and then carefully lift out with a knife and allow to cool on wire racks.

for the filling you can use any meat and vegetables that you like. I used some pork and chicken mince. Chopped onion, garlic and carrot. Fry all the ingredient add some soy sauce and wocestershire sauce to taste. Once you get the taste you like add 2 tablespoon of flour, mix well. The filling now will be thick, let it cool.
