Pastry:
- Make the pastry by putting dripping and ½ pint of water in a saucepan. Bring to the boil. Sieve flour and salt, make well in the centre and pour in the hot liquid.
- Mix to a dough with a knife, then knead on a floured board till free of cracks. Cut off a quarter of the pastry and keep it warm. Line six small tins or shape some cases round the base of a glass.

Filling:
- Cut the mutton into small pieces and mix with the chopped onion. Add the seasoning. Use a little stock to moisten and fill the pies, put on the lids, wetting the edges and sticking them firmly together. Make a hole in the top of each. Brush the pies with a little beaten egg. Bake in a moderate oven for 40 minutes. Serve hot, filling them up with a little hot gravy.

It worked out great!!! I followed the recipe just as it was, only added a teaspoon of sugar to the dough. Before mincing, I boiled the mutton with lots of spices as it looked rather tough and used the remaining liquid for the gravy. Thanks a lot for posting. -
I'd give this five stars because I like it VERY much, but as I had to use gluten free flour and didn't find mutton but only lamb, I can't for sure say how it would turn out without my alterations. Anyway, it worked great with an all purpose gluten free flour mix and lean minced lamb. I baked them at 275 F / 140 C for 45 minutes. I'll sure make them again because I'm a huge fan of meat pies and these are really easy to make. Thanks for posting! Made for PAC Spring 2010.

I love my job and find it both challenging and rewarding. I enjoy cooking and have, after a period of low enthusiasm, started to cook more and more new recipes that I have found online. I am working on a ring binder of recipes so the children can be more involved in the food they eat and will hopefully create our perfect cookbook of food we all love.<img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><img src=http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b158/bella_donata/My%20Art/Recipezaar/goldsparkle.png border=0 alt=Made by Bella14ragazza /> <br /><a href=http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v51/tiggrr34/?action=view&current=HolidayOrnamentSwapTag2c-1-1-1.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v51/tiggrr34/HolidayOrnamentSwapTag2c-1-1-1.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /> <br /></a><a href=http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa97/angelamtch/1a511f23-1.gifborder=> <br /> <br /></a><a href=http://s201.photobucket.com/albums/aa97/angelamtch/?action=view&current=1a511f23-1.gif target=_blank><img src=http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa97/angelamtch/1a511f23-1.gif border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/rr266/Acadia/Banners/HolidayCardSwapBannerP-1.jpg alt= /></a></p>
