  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg

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 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:

    • 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.
