Recipes For Cooking

I did not get into cooking without some family heritage.  

My mother is an excellent and adventurous cook and a competitive baker  (in a Kirsties Homemade way).

Her mother used to cut recipes by Elizabeth David from the newspaper.  I know because I have her cookery books and those cuttings fell out when I opened them.

On my Dads side, his maternal grandfather was a baker,

So back to the pie!  My mum used to make this pie which she learned from my grandpa, the butcher, she taught me how to make it too.

500g mince beef

small onion, finely chopped

salt & pepper

1 egg

3 tsp worcestershire sauce

1 packet of puff pastry, the ordinary stuff will do you dont need the butter puff pastry.

Mix the filling ingredients together (keep a little egg for egg wash)

Roll out just under half the pastry and line a metal pie dish or pyrex pie plate.

Press the filling mix into the pie dish, brush the edges of the pastry with egg wash, roll out the rest of the pastry to make a lid, crimp the edges.  Make two slits in the top to let the steam out.
