For a while now I have been wanting to eat the pie of my childhood and early adulthood. I desire biting into the browned flakiness of the meal and enjoying its savoury contents. On Tuesday, I decided to try and bake a replica. I grabbed some ready-made puff pastry, a muffin pan, and the leftover stew we had had for dinner the previous evening.
My mini pies were a lot smaller than what I had bought in South Africa, but they tasted just as good. My family loved them and I will definitely make them again with varied ingredients. I would say that my experiment was a success! Definitely something to smile about! 😀

The pies look yummy! What a great idea to bake them in a muffin pan. I shall be trying that too!

I was wondering whether it would help them keep the shape. And it worked. 😄

Those look terrific…for me, Id make it as large as possible as I’m not as big a fan of the pastry and I am the stuff inside!

I’ve lived in Asia for 10 years and haven’t SEEN a pie for 10 years. Now, I’m hungry!

See if you are able to purchase ready-made puff pastry. If you can, you can make your own! The next time I make this, I will take pictures to show you how 😀
