When my pie guru makes a pie video I pay close attention 😊 Minced beef and onion pies don't get any better than this 😋

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Thank you very much Pete and by the way, it was delicious, just a pit I couldn't have shared it with you and Richard. I had two meals from it and the taste test team had the rest.

Lived in Fish Hoek South Africa as a child. There was a wonderful little pie shop down the street from my house. I have been wanting to try making my own. This recipe looks lovely. I will definitely try it soon.

[@Tick29]

I grew up eating these kinds of pies. There is nothing better than a mince pie!

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Hi Brodie, It's nice to hear from somebody who appreciates real food. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it.

[@kayzium67]

Hi Paul, firstly, GET WELL SOON!!! so, the main reason I love your recipies, are you dont over do it with adding everything and the kitchen sink into your foods, Its basic Items made deliciously. I have seen many modern youtubers thinking Garlic has to go into Everything. The saying "Just because can, doesnt mean we should" My Great Granmother had 11 kids during the 2 wars, everything was basic, but always amazing. I have just got my pie ready to go into the oven. TY paul xox

[@grahamturner5963]

One of the reasons I enjoy this channel is how you explain everything clearly, give alternatives and tell what shouldn't be done. I've always liked mince beef and onion pie and I also make a puff pastry slice with a similar filling Hope your well, Mr Paul. Well done on your Facebook page

[@MrPaulsPantry]

I appreciate that Graham, thank you. When I had the bakeries we often received orders for a tray bake of minced beef & onion with a puff pastry top.

[@belindagordon8847]

Mr Paul that looks just perfect. Thank you for the tips today. They are so useful to me. Pastry is my nemesis! The tip in the pan to get the right consistency is one I shall be using as my pies are usually a bit runny. I have been cheating by buying ready made pastry. Now a friend of mine told me awhile back to put egg in my pastry to get it less short as mine always turn out very brittle. The "egg" pasty can't be rolled out so it's like a jigsaw puzzle putting it together. I think it's about time I followed some of your pastry recipes and got to grips with my nemesis.

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Hi Belinda, if you try my recipe here: mr-pauls-pantry.com/short-crust-pastry/ this we used for almost everything in the bakery with one or two addition for certain items, but it's a good all round pastry. We even used it for Christmas mince pies. Love to know how you get on please.

So glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching and taking the time out to comment too.

Made this pie, very good results. Thank you for the recipe. Used tamari sauce because I didn’t have Worcestershire sauce and used red wine because I didn’t have stock. I also used an olive oil flaky dough recipe.

Oh Mr Paul I am in love with you and your pies. If I was young again and looking for a 'Mr Right' one of the criteria would be that he would be able to delight me with a good pie like yours. One question, the gravy. How do you do yours? I make mine by straining some of my liquid off the meat filling when it has gone cold. Seems to work ok, but if you have another idea? Love all your tips as well - really helpful. You are so very kind sharing your knowledge :)

Australia in 3,000 population town + adjoining small towns. A bloke I knew departed from the hospital's employ as a chef - and opened his bakery shop. He was inspected and it was found he had too little fat 90/10 !!!!! But for lunch, I would buy them - delicious.

[@kath-phlox]

That's more than one onion I'm sure, I'm a cook, so I know. i used to make pies like this years ago. Now I am alone, so I do individual ones. Great video Paul.

[@ann.obrien5139]

Not necessarily more than one onion, it may be a massive onion . Even non cooks know that 😂

[@TheWacoKid1963]

Mince & onion pies, staple diet of North East England, we used to have two major pie makers in the north east, Williamson's and Tindale & Stantons, both business's gone but Tindales still have a factory in Spain.

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Thanks for watching, I think Tindales is an importing & distribution company handling a lot of English food items. They have a depot in Malaga.

[@billy4072]

Good tip about freezing uncooked pies . I like those small foil pie dishes , ...just ..for the memories they give lol. Trying to ease the pie out , taking a bite , and all the piping hot meat and gravy falling into your lap ... as you nurse a burnt lip. Lol ✅

Does the pastry underneath cook ok because of meat inside or is it best to pre cook pastry partly before hand

[@Coldsmoking]

I love this pie, its one of the simplest yet nicest pies to eat hot or cold. I have a leg of venison that I am going to incorporate into a pie and I may well be stealing (I mean borrowing) the recipe from you. I'm going to add a little bacon lard to the mix as venison is a little too lean for your recipe. Your thoughts??

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Sounds great, I think I would go with thyme, rosemary, bay, or sage instead of the mixed herbs. Also up the black pepper a little too,

[@Coldsmoking]

@@MrPaulsPantry Thanks, ill let you know how i get on.

[@carl2317]

can you use beef stock instead of wine as i am teetotal

[@MelbourneShorts11]

Hi paul, Could i cut the pit up and freeze it into slices? of will it go funny whe i re heat it.

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Hi. You would be better making individual pies and freezing them. Re-heating a cut piece of pie creates difficulties, like frying out the filling, etc. you can freeze these cooked or raw, but whichever way you do, you MUST wrap in plastic wrap tightly, making sure there is as little air trapped as possible. Then when you wish to eat them, remove from freezer DO NO UNWRAP thaw out overnight in the refrigerator, then remove the plastic wrap and either bake off in the normal way after egg washing the tops or re-heating until the filling is piping hot. I hope this helps.

[@susanlee2835]

I like to decorate a meat pie with leaves ect

[@Bessie66]

I’ve always cooked as much as possible from scratch but my pastry is something I can never get right! I do all the right things - chilled ingredients, don’t over work it and let it rest etc but it always turns out hard - what ever recipe I use? Any suggestions please would be gratefully received.

Hi Mr Paul when you say freeze the left over pastry I was wondering what you would recommend, I've googled it and one will say a time and somebody else will say different

[@MrPaulsPantry]

I'm not quite sure what you mean, but if you mean how long can it be frozen for 3 months or so, but I'm sure you will be using it long before then.
