How To make Forfar Bridies (Irish)

Classic Beef & Onion pasties :) Easy recipe

Hi folks :)

Welcome back to what’s for tea! And I hope you’re having a great day so far!

So here’s the second recipe from my new cook book :) The best of traditional Scottish cooking. These gorgeous pastry treats are so popular in this country….wether you call them pasties, birdies, bakes or something else, they will always contain meat and vegetables (sometimes cheese & onion) which will be encased in a buttery pastry! You could use shortcrust or puff pastry…I prefer puff when it comes to this sort of thing, the filling tends to be quite rich and heavy so I think the puff pastry works better.

Very easy to make, especially if you use shop bought pastry…great if you need to save a bit of time. In case you want to make your pastry from scratch, I’ve shown you how I do pastry so many times…so feel free to check out one of my other ‘pie’ recipes if you’re not sure how to do it.

Thanks for stopping by and until I see you next, take care x

____________________________________________________________________

With the ingredients below, the filling will make 8 pasties if you make them the same size as mine. I used shop bought puff pastry, the amount you need will vary depending on how big or small you make your pasties :)


For the filling-
1 lb Rump (round) steak
112g/4oz Beef suet (or chilled grated shortening)
2 Large onions (finely chopped)
Salt & Pepper

***I serve ours with mashed potato, vegetables & gravy, or baked beans… but they are great on their own too***

Scottish Steak pies | Easy meat pie recipe :)

Hello folks!
Support my wee channel (only if you want :)


Welcome back to What’s For Tea :) and today for tea I made these wonderful steak and gravy pies :) I’m using ready rolled pastry, but if you make good pastry…feel free to use your own :) I’m no pastry chef, so I prefer to use ready made :)

These are so tasty, I highly recommend you give these a go! These are so rich…that’s the red wine! If you don’t want to use red wine, just use more beef stock :)

Everything I used will be mentioned below incase you want to make it for yourself. Thanks for stopping by,

Forfar Bridies

Forfar Bridies are handheld Scottish savory pies filled with a tasty mixture of minced beef, onion, and spices baked inside puff pastry. You'll love each bite of these delicious, traditional bridies!

Ingredients

▢1 pound ground beef extra lean (96%)
▢1 large onion finely diced
▢2 tablespoons salted butter finely diced
▢1 ½ teaspoons salt
▢1 teaspoon black pepper
▢1 ½ pounds puff pastry or shortcrust pastry
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line an 11x17-inch tray with parchment paper.
Mix together the ground beef, onion, butter, salt, and pepper until combined.
Cut each sheet of puff pastry in half so you have four rectangles of pastry. Trim off the corners to make each rectangle into an oval.
Divide the filling among the four ovals, then brush the rim with beaten egg and fold over the pastry. Seal with a fork, then brush the bridies with beaten egg and cut a couple vent holes in the top.
Bake at 400°F for 25-30 minutes, or until they have an internal temperature of at least 160°F and they're golden brown. Cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes before eating.
Serve with generous amounts of HP sauce, chips (coarse-cut French fries), and Heinz beans for an authentic meal.

FOR THE PUFF PASTRY
1 1/4 cup very cold butter (salted)* cut into cubes
1/2 cup very cold water
1/4 teaspoon salt*
2 cups all-purpose flour
