Makes 4.

The better quality the beef and more finely cut the vegetables, the
better.

Pastry:
1 Lb Flour
5 Oz Lard
good pinch salt
water to mix.

Filling:
1 Lb Best Quality Lean Beef
1/2 Lb Peeled Potatoes
1/2 Lb Peeled Swede
1 small onion, peeled
salt & pepper
butter
beaten egg, to glaze

Preheat oven to 400F/200C or Gas Mk 6. Make the pastry: In a large bowl
place flour and salt, and, rub in the lard until it resembles breadcrumbs.
Mix in just enough water until pastry leaves the side of the bowl cleanly.
Divide the pastry into 4 equal pieces. On a floured surface, roll each
piece into a round of about 7-8 inch diameter. Cut up the potatoes, swede
and onion into small irregular pieces. Cut up the beef into small cubes of
about 1/4 inch, removing all the fat. On each round of pastry, put a share
of the vegetables and season well. Then add a share of the meat and a good
knob of butter and more pepper. Dampen the edge of the pastry and bring up
from both sides with floured hands to envelop the filling. Now pinch the
edges together and crimp firmly to seal. Brush with beaten egg and cook on
a floured tray for 3/4 Hour.
