Scottish Forfar Bridies – Savory Hand Pies
- Minced beef – 1 lb
- Onion, finely chopped – 1
- Beef suet (optional) – 2 tablespoons
- Salt and black pepper – to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Dough
In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Add the cold, diced butter and rub it into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Slowly add the cold water, mixing until a dough forms. Shape into a ball, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
While the dough chills, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the minced beef and onion until the meat is browned. Drain any excess liquid. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the beef suet for a richer filling.
Step 3: Roll and Fill
