HINTS & TIPS

Brushing the inside of the pastry before adding the filling helps the pastry stay crisp and stops the bottom from going soggy
Add a splash of red wine once the mince is browned, remember to cook it out before adding the stock then you will have a Beef Burgundy pie
If beef is not your thing you can always do the same with pork or even chicken mince
