Meat pies are a great snack at tea time and perfect for serving on parties. Many of us rely on the store bought frozen versions of this and just bake them when they are to be served. You can make your very own meat pie pastry from scratch; it will be more delicious and will cost you less than the readymade versions. Give this recipe a try and you won’t be disappointed.
