4 and 20 Meat Pies
Categories: beef, Australian, pie, meat,
Yield: 12 Servings

Base~~
8 oz. Flour
tsp. Salt
1/4 pt. Water
2 oz. Beef drippings

Top:
12 oz. Puff pastry
Beaten egg for glaze

Filling~~
1 lb .Minced beef
1 "cube" beef stock
1 tsp. Salt
Pepper to taste
1/2 pt. Water
1 pinch Nutmeg
3 tbl. Flour
Brown food coloring

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 350degrees F. till puffed and browned.
