Hints & Tips

  • Add extra flavour – A pinch of dried herbs or a dash of Worcestershire sauce in the filling can boost the savoury taste.
  • Make it cheesy – Sprinkle grated cheese over the pastry before baking for a richer flavour.
  • Use leftover mince – This recipe works beautifully with any leftover savoury mince to save time.
