Method

  • Preheat oven to 2000C.

  • Add the stock and simmer the mince until the liquid is almost gone
  • Salt to taste
  • Combine the GF flour with the water and stir this through the mince mixture to thicken

  • Roll out to about 3mm thick with a rolling pin & cut out 15cm diameter circles
  • Ease the pastry into the muffin holes and press it to the base and flatten it to the sides. Cut excess off at the top with a knife. Leave a flat edge on top to join the top puff pasty
  • Repeat kneading, rolling and cutting until the 6 cases are lined
  • Spoon meat mixture evenly among the pies, bring the mixture to just below the top edge of the pie
  • Take one sheet of the Choices GF Puff Pastry and cut out 6 circles the same size as the top of your muffin holes
  • Brush the top edge of the pie pastry with a little water and place the puff pastry on the top. Use a fork to gently press the 2 pastries together
  • With a knife make a small slit in the top of the pie before cooking
  • Cook for 10 minutes at 2000C in a normal oven, then fan force the oven for the final 15 minutes of cooking
