Equipment
- Pie Maker
Ingredients
- .5 onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 250 g beef mince
- 1 beef stock cube
- .5 t cornflour, mixed with 1 T cold water
- 1 sheet puff pastry
Instructions
- Saute onion and garlic until onion is golden and translucent
- Add mince and fry off
- Add stock cube with half a cup of water plus the cornflour slurry
- Simmer and reduce to create a fairly dry mince mix
- Let the mince cool
- When ready to make, heat the pie maker, cut the puff pastry into 4 squares
- Pop a square into each pie maker hole, spoon in a quarter of the mince and fold the pastry corners over each other to form a lid
- Cook 10 minutes or so, until the pastry is golden
Notes
Don't make the mince gravy too runny as it'll burst out of the pie when you bite into it.
You can use cold mince but you'll need to adjust the cooking time. Perhaps 5 minutes longer, to make sure the centre filling is hot.
