Tips/Hints:
This filling recipe is from the Beechworth Bakery book. I have made it a few times and must admit that I am now lazy and just shove it all into a frying pan on the stove and cook it for about 8-10 minutes, thicken and cool. The umami (not in the original recipe) gives it a lovely flavour.

Hally - I made these exactly as Cookies method at the top. I did add peas, always looking for extra veg for kids.
As you can see its lovely & thick & I know the kids & dh will love this. Am going to make mini pies & some larger ones from this. It made 30 pies in my mini pie maker. The flavour is good, I did use a fair bit of pepper.

looks delicious cookie, what pastry did you use?
Title: Re: Steak and Black Pepper pie filling
Post by: cookie1 on April 04, 2013, 07:06:35 am
For the base I used short rust and the top bought puff in a sheet.

Jolly self correcting thing. It should say short crust.

Thanks cookie and great question Judy you have such an eagle eye and I read through the recipe a few times  :-))

These are used to thicken the meat ingredients. After they have cooked for a while. It only needs a short time as it cooks in the oven more.

I've put a couple of changes into the recipe to try and make it clearer. Hope it helps.

my confusion comes from the to thicken the meat bit is it 1/4 cup cornflour  and 1/4 cup  flour plus 1 tbs plain flour?

What a drongo. I read all that and still didn't see the problem. It should be 1/4 cup water. I'm so sorry for confusing everyone.

When you say. "little" Hally... Is that roughly muffin size?  I'm guessing these would freeze well.
Title: Re: Steak and Black Pepper pie filling
Post by: Halex on April 05, 2013, 07:05:10 am
Yes I have a mini pie maker, i have eaten 4 already :o

Now they are all done, I got exactly 30 pies, dont forget I added peas too.

Freeze well for sure :)

Hally does the filling have a lot of flavour? With so few ingredients I'm worried it may be a little bland.
Title: Re: Steak and Black Pepper pie filling
Post by: Halex on April 05, 2013, 11:47:00 am
The flavour is good, I did use a fair bit of pepper.

You would think so Wonder but the pepper and the umami make it quite tasty.
