Cooking time: 35 minutes
Yield: 8 to 16 pastries
12
ounces lean ground lamb or ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
3/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt, freshly ground pepper to taste
1-2 tablespoons beef broth or stock
Pastry for a double-crust pie

Cook meat until it is no longer pink; drain thoroughly and add
onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper and just enough stock
or broth to moisten the mixture.

1/8-inch thickness. Cut into rounds; depending on preference,
they can be from 3 to 6 inches in diameter.

crimp edges tightly. Brush lightly with egg white and cut three
slashes in top of each.
