Making Meat Pies at Home

 

In wintertime there is nothing quite so satisfying as a wonderful meat pie for supper. Pies are one of the most versatile meals and are ideal for entertaining or to bring to a party. Some pies, such as Melton Mowbray are great served cold in the summer.

There are several types of crust that can be used when making a main course pie; from store-bought flaky pastry, to home made short-crust, or even phyllo pastry.
