Meat pie (very delicious!)
Description
Delicious baked goods for the whole family. Shortcrust pastry is perfect not only for sweet pastries with berries and fruits, but also for meat-filled pies. Keep in mind that for pies, it's best to prepare a moist filling that holds its shape well. It's better to boil the meat beforehand—this way it retains its flavor and the pie bakes faster. Pay attention to your oven's characteristics; your pie may require less or more baking time. Serve warm or cooled. Perfect with tea.
