Meat pies in the oven
Description
Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. Pies are always welcome any day, at any celebration. Even those who watch their figure allow themselves to occasionally enjoy delicious and aromatic homemade pastries. I suggest you a recipe for meat pies baked in the oven. This is a festive, attractive way of shaping the pie. You can make this pastry in small molds, or simply shape them in any convenient form (round, triangular). Making a hole in the pies is not mandatory; it's needed to let steam escape. Moreover, you can pour broth with gelatin into this hole (after the pie is already baked), and you'll get mini-English pies. If you prefer pies with a very juicy filling, then don't make the hole. Well then, let me tell you how.
