Season with salt, pepper, thyme, and curry powder. • Let the filling cool. 3. Assemble the Meat Pies: • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). • Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out circles using a round cutter or the rim of a bowl. • Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each circle. • Fold the dough over to form a semi-circle and press the edges with a fork to seal. • Place the pies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. • Beat the egg and brush the tops of the pies with it for a golden finish. 4.
