Mince & Onion Pie image

I have always liked a good mince round - what we call a mince pie here in Glasgow. Finally decided to make one for myself and the result was every bit as good as the one I usually buy from my butcher.

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb beef mince
1 large onion, diced
2 tablespoons sunflower oil
1 pint water
3 beef bouillon cubes
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
340 g frozen shortcrust pastry
1 tablespoon milk, for brushing pastry

Steps:

  • Heat sunflower oil in a large pan and gently fry onions until translucent.
  • Add mince to pan and break up with a fork- add the water making sure the mince is completely covered and bring to the boil.
  • Crumble in the oxo cubes and add the worcestershire sauce.
  • Cover the pan and reduce heat- simmer gently for 20 minutes.
  • When mince and onions are cooked allow to cool for about 15 minutes.
  • Roll out pastry on a floured surface and use half to line a 9 inch round shallow baking tin- make a lid with remaining pastry.
  • Put mince and onion mixture in tin and cover with pastry lid- thumb round the edges to seal and cut a small slit in centre of pastry lid- brush pastry with the milk.
  • Cook in a preheated oven at 190c for 30 minutes.
