Scotch PiesHot Damn!!!!

Alright, this recipe is based on the Scotch Pie recipe from http://www.rampantscotland.com/recipes/blrecipe_scotchpie.htmwith my additions/changes.Ingredients for the Meat Filling:1.5 to 2lbs Ground Beast1/2 tsp of Nutmeg or MaceSalt and Pepper to tasteWorchestershire Sauce to moisten and flavor Beef2 jars Heintz Beef Gravy. 1 for filling pies, 1(or more...) to serve with pies.Ingreedee-mince for Hot Water Pastry:6 cups Flour9oz Shortning9oz Water(approx, increase or decrease to get correct texture)1/2tsp SaltMilk- to glaze crustHow To:Note: Last time I used pot pie pie pans, but you can also use something approximately 3 1/2 to 4 inch diameter, such as a large tuna can to form a free standing crust.Make the pastry by sifting the flour and salt into a warm bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour. Put the shortning and water in a small pot, and heat until all the shortning is all melted, and the water will be boiling.Pour water into the well in the flour. Mix with a fork until large crumbles form. Then knead into a ball. Reserve light 1/3rd of the dough in a covered bowl inna warm place. Take the other 2/3rds and roll out to approx 1/8th inch thick. (Last time, it made 8 pies in pot pie pans.) Form into cups approx 3 to 4 inches across by pressing onto a greased form (like a large tuna can). Set aside and chill to firm. (Not necessary to chill if in pot pie pans.) Mix meat, Worchestershire Sauce, salt, pepper, and nutmeg and/or mace. Should be a little drier than typical meatloaf. Split meat mixture into number of portions to fill pies. Spoon approx 2 large Tablespoons into each pie on top of meat mixture.Roll out remaining dough. Moisten edges of pies, cover with rolled dough and press seams closed. Almost there!!!!Brush crust with milk, and bake at 375 degrees.Time and temp may vary based on size o'pies. Larger pies may require a lower temp, and a longer, perhaps much longer, bake time in the oven. Pot pie sized pies bake at 375 for 45 minutes.Serve with gravy and veggies, preferably peas (MUSHY PEAS!!!)
