For pie maker recipes, I like to use puff pastry for both the bottom and lid. I find it more practical and economical to use just one type of pastry when making mini pies. But you could, of course, go the traditional route and use shortcrust pastry for the bottom and puff pastry for the lid. How to Use a Pie Maker Step 1 Practical: If you regularly make sweet and/or savoury pies, you might find that your pie maker will be used more often than not. It goes without saying that almost any stew can be turned into a meat pie. In fact, what I often do in winter is turn leftover beef stews into meat pies; my Beef Bourguignon meat pies are very popular in my family!

You can make pie maker pies with almost any filling you like. Some other fillings which would be delicious here include:I recommend only cutting out as many as you need to fit the pie maker, and to cut any additional pastry whilst you are waiting for the pies to cook. Pastry works best when it is cold from the fridge – it is easier to handle, and there is less shrinkage with cold pastry. The pie maker recipe below uses the same beef and Guinness filling as that for my Classic Meat Pies. It’s a classic and comforting beef stew which uses stout to give that familiar bakery flavour. Pie Maker Recipe Brown the beef in small batches, and use a slotted spoon to remove the browned meat to a large bowl. Try not to over-crowd the pan, otherwise the meat will steam instead of brown; it is the caramelisation on the meat which gives a lot of flavour to the stew. Super easy: To make a good meat pie with crispy pastry on the bottom, you usually have to blind bake the pastry, which can be a bit of a pfaff when it comes to mini pies. But a pie maker eliminates the need for blind-baking, which means the pies are much easier to make.
