These mini meat pies can most definitely form a part of the small chops assembly.

Steps

1

Place the minced meat in a clean pot and place it on the burner. Keep stirring to avoid burning until it dries up
2

Add all the seasonings in no special order, add the diced potatoes and onions and water, mix and cover to boil for 10 minutes
3

Add the diced carrots and allow to boil another five minutes and add the corn flour paste. Stir well and bring down from fire
4

While the filling cools down, make the dough
5

Add all the dry ingredients in a bowl and mix
6

Break up the cold butter into the dry ingredients and rub in until it looks like bread crumbs
7

Gradually add the cold water, mixing until a stiff dough is formed
8

Cover dough with cling film and refrigerate for 10-20 minutes
9

Roll out the dough and cut into desired shapes and sizes (I used a cookie cutter
10

Fill in the dough, rub the outer sides with egg wash to serve as a sealant and press down with a fork
11

Wash the pies with the remaining egg using a baking brush tool (it doesn't have to finish. Avoid pouring the eggs on the pies)
12

Bake for 45 mins to one hour, until the pies are golden brown

Enjoy together with your small chops and any beverage of choice
