As requested by kandyfloss.
shortcrust pastry.
8 ozs self raising flour
4 ozs margarine
pinch salt
milk and water for mixing
make dough as you would normally do.

2 tins corned beef
6 potatoes
4 onion chopped and soften in pan of water
boil poatoes
mash corned beef and mash potato then mix together little salt and pepper added and mix onions to the mixture

put mixture in a large long tin, then roll out pastry and put it on top of mixture.
dab pastry with a fork in a few places then dab mixed egg over top,
put it in middle of pre-heated oven of a 4 gas and cook until pastry is nice and brown

 

Sounds nice, Rosa. May try that with the pastry only on the top. Must say that I'd only do half the recipe though! :wink: You skinny folk! :rolleyes:

 

its lovely, LoL made it in america it was a big hit at xmas parties. you could make it all and freeze half of it for new year :D

 

I do make it, Rosa, but with pastry top and bottom, but I'm lazy and buy ready-made pastry, even here. Just have never tried it with the pastry only on the top. As you say, it freezes well, like sausage and onion pie! Another yummy!

It's difficult to get corned beef here. Well, you can, at a premium, but the it's still worth it. I brought back a half dozen tins in October as I do like my corned beef, particulary in sandwiches, one of my favourites! Actually, I prefer it cold to hot!

 

LoL its nice just on the top, nice with chips, I buy ready made pastry for the sausage rolls, rough puff.

 

hi LoL, do they also eat turkey at Christmas in Portugal?

 

well here they are my cornedbeef pies, Instead of making 1 large one i made 2 smaller ones.

 

This is a large plate pie of - mince,onions & carrots with gravy also making steak & kidney with onions, carrots and gravy

 

and, changing subject, here is my cider cake which I have made without eggs (I suddently realized that I ran out of eggs), but it still tastes nice...

 

Rosa, how many are you expecting for Christmas with all these yummy savoury pies, quiches, mince pies, cakes and no doubt a myriad of other goodies?

 

my daughter is staying and the family will be around at some stage and have enough to see us over the new year

 

Rosa,many thanks for the recipe for the corned beef and potato pie.I will have to get it printed off upstairs and then try it out,though my o/h won't eat it because he hates corned beef...funny man.Never mind more for me..yummy

 

your welcome kandy enjoy, my o/h likes it but doesnt like quiche

 

Ditto here, Rosa! :D :D

 

Rosa,im gonna try your recipe today.I set about it yesterday and got a call halfway through about an appointment i was late for,so just left the lot for around an hour and a half and when i got back the pastry was hard so gave it up as a bad job.I have to say im useless at pastry,cakes etc and young fiz looks at me funny when i threaten to bake.I have however,with the help of your lovely pics,sussed something out.When i try pies, the filling always spills over into the oven.Looking at your beautiful offerings i suddenly realised that you have sort of curled the edges up.It would NEVER have dawned on me.Amazing.THATs how you do it!
Wish me luck. :D
