Number Of Ingredients 9

4 ounces drippings
1/2 pint water
1 lb flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 ounces lean mutton
1 small onion, chopped
salt and pepper
beaten egg
gravy

Steps:

  • Pastry:.
  • Make the pastry by putting dripping and ½ pint of water in a saucepan. Bring to the boil. Sieve flour and salt, make well in the centre and pour in the hot liquid.
  • Mix to a dough with a knife, then knead on a floured board till free of cracks. Cut off a quarter of the pastry and keep it warm. Line six small tins or shape some cases round the base of a glass.
  • Filling:.
  • Cut the mutton into small pieces and mix with the chopped onion. Add the seasoning. Use a little stock to moisten and fill the pies, put on the lids, wetting the edges and sticking them firmly together. Make a hole in the top of each. Brush the pies with a little beaten egg. Bake in a moderate oven for 40 minutes. Serve hot, filling them up with a little hot gravy.
