How to Prepare Scottish Meat Pie

To make pie pastry, bring butter and water to boil in saucepan.

Put flour and salt in a basin, make a hole in the middle.

Pour boiling water and butter into hole.

Mix until cool enough to handle.

Form into a ball.

Turn on to a floured board, knead well, and pat into a flat shape.

Divide into six pieces, or two large pieces to roll out & cut circular pieces.

Mold pastry up in the sides of ring or pan to 3 inches high to make filling holder.

Roll out saved sections, cutting them into rounds to fit filling holders.

Roll pastry as thin as you want, lay onto a muffin ring or large muffin pan, cut excess pastry leaving enough to fold to center of ring or muffin pan.

Mix all filling ingredients together, divide into 6 or 8 portions and fill pastry.

Make a slit in center of each top to let steam out.

Brush tops with milk or beaten egg.
