I love pies. My mother makes the best chicken and apple pies. I love that show 'Pushing Daisies' because the main character is a pie-maker and it features a lot of pies in every episode.
You get the idea ,right?
Sometime in February, Tasty by Buzzfeed uploaded a shot video on how to do mini pot pies. I instantly fell in love with the idea and on the very next day, I bought ready-to-roll pastry sheets and then made my version of their recipe. So here is the full recipe. Have fun trying and most importantly, enjoy it!
For the filling,
500g sirloin beef; diced
1 1/2 cups cauliflower florets
1 carrot; diced
1 cup of green peas
1 big onion; diced
2 tbs corn flour
2 tbs HP sauce/ soy sauce/ worcestershire sauce
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp dried parsely
1 bay leaf
2 cloves garlic
2 cups of beef stock/ 2 cup of water with 1/2 cube of beef stock
S&P
1 tbs butter
1. Use butter to grease a pot.
2. Simmer onion and garlic with bay leaf.
3. Add in the carrots and cauliflower.
4. Add in beef and stir until carrots slightly change in colour.
5. Add in the HP sauce.
6. Once beef begins to tender, add in the stock. Let it simmer and bubble for a while.
7. Then as the mixture begins to reduce, thicken it with corn flour. Remember to mix the corn flour with water before adding it into the pot.
8. Let it continue to bubble for 1 minute and it will be ready to be added in the cooked pastry.
For the pastry,
1. Simply roll out a ready-to-roll pastry sheet.
2. Make small circles about the size of the mouth of a mug.
3. One pie needs two pieces. So for each pie, you get two circle pastry sheets. One is the base, while the other one goes directly on top of it.
4. Before you place the second sheet on top, trace a slightly smaller circle on it. By tracing, you're not supposed to cut it out. And then just place it on top of the base sheet.
5. Brush melted butter or egg wash on each pastry and sprinkle some dried parsley as well. Bake them all for about 10-15 minutes at 175 degree centigrade. You may remove the pie pastries once they begin to have a golden brown colour.
6. Simply cut through the inner circle that you traced earlier. Simply fill in the pastries with the pie mix you made earlier.
