Steps

  • Mix beef and pork mince with carrots, onion, parsley, marjoram, salt, pepper, and brandy.
  • Cover filling and chill for two hours or overnight.
  • Melt butter over low heat and set aside to cool.
  • Combine flour and salt in a bowl, then stir in beaten eggs and water.
  • Gradually add melted butter, form a ball of pastry, and rest for two hours.
  • Divide pastry into six portions and roll into 18cm by 20cm rectangles.
  • Place a portion of filling in each pastry rectangle and seal the edges with egg wash.
  • Place parcels seam-side down on a lined tray and lightly score the pastry tops.
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C.
  • Create a small hole in each pie and insert a 1.5cm wide pastry chimney strip.
  • Brush pies with egg wash and bake for 45 minutes before cooling completely.
  • Soften gelatine in cold water for five minutes, then squeeze out excess moisture.
  • Gently heat wine, dissolve gelatine in it, and transfer to a jug to cool.
  • Slowly pour the wine mixture into the pie chimneys until halfway full.
  • Refrigerate pies for at least three hours until the jelly has set.
