Traditional Aussie Meat Pies

Makes 4-6 individual pies or 1 large family pie Prep Time 20 minutes   Cook Time 45 minutes   Rated:

Good ole Aussie Meat Pies are something my kids who live overseas crave. I personally can only eat a very specialist bakery version or this version. Enjoy...no jelly to be seen here, just delicious umami packed, meaty filling. If you want to make the puff pastry, you really won't regret that decision either, though it does them make it difficult to ever buy frozen puff pastry again.

Shortcrust Pastry...always easy in the Thermomix, but if you are Thermomix-less, feel free to buy or simply make by hand. Remember the colder your butter/hands/workbench the better. I have a fantastic book Ratio by Michael Ruhlman which you should all rush out and buy...you will never need a recipe for pastry again, but for those of you without that book, this is for you; 2 to 1. Flour to butter. Then of course there is always salt and a little icy water bringing it all together. But it is that easy. You heard it here!
