Preparation

- Fill with meat preparation.
- In a small bowl, mix the milk and egg together.
- Brush the edge of the pastry shell with a bit of the egg wash.

- Bake in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes.

Suggestion:
During the first step of the recipe, you may add 300 ml (1 1/4 cups) of diced potatoes to the meat preparation 15 minutes before the end of cooking.
Tip:
You may cook the meat a few days in advance, cool well, refrigerate in a sealed container, and make your pies within the next few days. You may also freeze your pies in freezer bags. Defrost in the refrigerator 12 hours before cooking.
