Meat and Vegetable Pot Pie
Description
These scrumptious pies will not last! I usually make the filling the day before to give it the time needed to both cook and to cool down. With the filling ready made, these are quickly assembled and baked.

- In a separate small bowl, mix the cake flour with water to create a paste.
- Add the cake flour paste to the pot to thicken the mixture. Stir well and let it cool.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Tear the biscuits in half and stretch them slightly to fit into the muffin pan.
- Fill each muffin cup with the prepared meat and vegetable mixture, then seal the edges of the pastry with your fingers.
- Bake the pies in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through.
