These classic meat hand pies are juicy and flavorful, and you can use any meat you like. For best results, I use my Easy All-purpose Savory Dough.
Traditionally, these pies are served with a light Traditional Meat Broth, perfect for dipping and enhancing their rich flavor.

Prepare the dough using the Easy All-purpose Savory Dough recipe.
Finely dice the meat and finely chop the onion. Season with salt and black pepper. Add water or broth and mix well.
Roll out the dough and cut circles. The diameter of each circle should match the desired length of the pie.
Place the filling in the center of each circle.
Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges together on top to seal.
Place the pies on a baking sheet seam-side down so the top stays smooth.
Brush the pies with egg wash.
Bake at 400°F (200°C) until golden brown.
Ensure the edges of the dough are sealed properly to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
For extra flavor, you can add herbs or spices like thyme to the filling.
Can I use store-bought dough for this recipe?
Yes, you can use store-bought dough if you're short on time, but homemade dough will provide the best flavor and texture.
What type of meat works best for the filling?
You can use beef, pork, chicken, or a mix of these. Finely diced meat works best for even cooking and texture.
How do I prevent the pies from becoming soggy?
Make sure not to overfill the pies and seal the edges properly. Also, avoid adding too much liquid to the filling.
Can I make these pies vegetarian?
Yes, you can substitute the meat with a vegetarian filling like mushrooms, lentils, or a mix of vegetables.
