Meat Patties Recipe

Ingredients:

• 9 oz rough puff pastry
• 6 oz cooked steak mince
• 1 teaspoon chopped parsley
• A little gravy or stock
• Salt and pepper

Method:

1. Make the rough puff pasty and roll out thinly. Cut into rounds using a 3″ pastry cutter.
2. Season the cooked steak mince, season well and moisten with a little gravy or stock.  Add the chopped parsley. You can also add some lightly fried onions at this stage if you want.
3. Put half of the rounds of pastry on a baking tray which has been rinsed with cold water and put a teaspoonful of the meat mixture into the centre of each. Moisten the edges.
4. Cover each patty with the remaining rounds of pastry and seal the edges well.
5. Make a small hole with a skewer in the top of each patty and then brush with beaten egg.
6. Bake in a pre-heated over at Gas Mark 7 (425°F/220°C) for about 20 minutes until nicely browned.

Can be served hot or cold. Makes about 15 patties.
