Here’s the recipe I use. It comes from this post in r/nz. Copied here so you don’t have to visit the orange site.

Pastry

• 200g lard or dripping
• 1 cup boiling water
• 3 & 1/3 cups plain flour
• 1tspn salt

Melt the dripping into the water on the stove using a low heat.

Add the salt to the flour and mix in

Slowly mix your fluid with the flour until it binds and cools and knead it on the bench to mix. Throw it in the fridge to cool for 20 mins while you do the filling.

Filling

• 500g mince beef
• Medium onion

Fine chop the onion and brown it in a large frying pan with some of the left over dripping. Add the mince and brown it.

Then mix up and add

• 2 cups boiling water
• 4 tspn of beef stock
• 1 tspn salt
• 2 tblspn of cracked pepper
• 1 tspn of parsley
• 1 tspn thyme
• 1 tblspn cumin

Let that simmer for 15 mins or so then add 1/2 a cup of milk and 2tblspn of flour to thicken it up for a couple of mins. Take off heat and allow to cool.

Roll out the pastry to 3-4mm thick and put the casings in your trays. Add filling and tasty cheese, put the top on.

Bake for 15-20mins at 180°. Your time may vary depending on your oven.

Not at all healthy, but you’ll be fat and happy.
