Ingredients

• 250 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 125 grams Butter
• 60 ml Cold water
• 1 Egg
• 500 grams Minced beef
• 1 Onion
• 125 ml Gluten-free beef stock
• 1 tablespoon Gluten-free Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
• 2 tablespoons Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon Milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).

Step 2

To make the pastry, place the gluten-free flour into a large bowl. Cut the butter into small cubes and rub it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Add the cold water gradually, stirring with a fork until the dough comes together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

Step 4

For the filling, finely chop the onion. In a large frying pan, brown the minced beef over medium heat, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks.

Step 5

Once browned, add the chopped onion and cook until soft.

Step 6

Stir in the gluten-free beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato paste, mixing well to combine.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a little cold water to make a slurry, then add it to the meat mixture. Cook until the mixture thickens and is well combined, then season with salt and pepper. Allow to cool slightly.

Step 8

Roll out the chilled pastry between two sheets of baking paper until it is about 3mm thick. Cut circles out of the pastry to fit into a mini muffin or pie tray to form the base.

Step 9

Gently press the pastry circles into the tray, ensuring they cover the base and sides of each pocket.

Step 10

Fill each pastry pocket with the beef mixture, pressing lightly to pack them in.

Step 11

Top each pie with a small circle of pastry, pressing the edges to seal. Make a small cut in the top of each pie for steam to escape.

Step 12

Beat the egg and 1 tablespoon of milk together, and brush this mixture over the top of each pie for a golden finish.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 14

Remove from the oven and let the pies cool slightly in the tray before transferring them to a wire rack.

Step 15

Serve warm, and enjoy these delicious gluten-free Aussie Party Pies!
