This Aussie meat pie offers a comforting dish with an Australian twist. The flaky puff pastry wraps around a robust minced beef filling for a satisfying meal.

ingredients


BASE

8 ounces flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 pint water
2 ounces beef drippings

TOP

12 ounces puff pastry
1 beaten egg for glaze

FILLING

1 pound minced beef
1 beef bouillon cube
1 teaspoon salt
black pepper, to taste
1/2 pint water
1 pinch nutmeg
3 tablespoons flour
brown food coloring

directions

Mix all base ingredients thoroughly.

Roll out to about 1/8" thickness. Roll out puff pastry to 1/4" thickness.

Saute the beef.

Dissolve the stock cube in the water, add to beef. Season to taste. Sprinkle with flour and cook till flour is browned and incorporated well. Adjust seasoning and coloring to taste.

Make pies by putting scoops of about 1/4 cup on the base crust. Egg glaze around the filling and top with the puff pastry, using the egg glaze as a "glue" (try not to leave large air pockets). Cut around the filling, creating individual pies.

Brush the top with more egg glaze for color and bake at 300 degrees F. until puffed and browned.
