These scrumptious pies will not last! I usually make the filling the day before to give it the time needed to both cook and to cool down. With the filling ready made, these are quickly assembled and baked. Ingredients:
15 ml oil |
1 kg beef or 1 kg lamb, cubed |
2 onions, sliced into rings |
salt and pepper, to taste |
1 bay leaf |
375 ml beef stock |
300 ml broccoli, broken into florets |
2 carrots, sliced |
45 ml tomato paste |
10 ml brown sugar |
15 ml cake flour |
8 flakey biscuits |
Directions:
1. Heat oil and brown meat.
2. Add onions and sauté until tender.
3. Season to taste and add bay leaf.
4. Add stock and bring to the boil.
5. Cover and simmer for 1-1/2 hours until meat is tender.
6. Add vegetables, tomato paste and sugar and bring to the boil once more.
7. Simmer until vegetables are tender.
8. Thicken with cake flour and water paste.
9. Leave to cool.
10. Tear biscuits in half and stretch slightly to fit into muffin pan.
11. Fill with filling and seal edges with fingers.
12. Bake at 180C for 20 minutes until pastry is cooked.
