Ingredients:

• 3 cups ground beef
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 onions, chopped
• 4 tsp dry mustard
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp vinegar

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Filling:

   • In a frying pan, melt 2 tablespoons of margarine over medium heat.
   • Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent.
   • Add ground beef to the pan and cook slowly until the fat is melted and beef is browned.
   • Drain excess fat from the beef mixture.
   • Stir in dry mustard and gravy, then simmer for 10 minutes. Set aside.

2. Make the Pastry:

   • In a large bowl, combine lard, flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
   • In a separate cup, beat the egg, then add vinegar and enough cold water to fill the cup to 1 cup total.
   • Gradually add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
   • Roll out the pastry dough on a floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness.

3. Assemble the Pies:

   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
   • Line small foil pie tins (approximately 4 1/2 inches across) with the rolled-out pastry dough.
   • Fill each pastry-lined tin halfway with the prepared meat mixture.
   • Cover each pie with another round of pastry dough, sealing the edges well.

4. Bake:

   • Place the filled pies on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is heated through.
