How to Make Forfar Bridies

  1. In a large bowl, combine the minced beef, onion, suet, seasoning, and stock. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a 4-inch cookie cutter or knife to cut out circles.
  3. Place a spoonful of the beef mixture into the center of each pastry circle.
  4. Fold the pastry over to form a half-moon shape, crimping the edges firmly to seal.
  5. Brush the tops of the bridies with beaten egg or milk for a golden brown finish.
  6. Place the bridies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious homemade Forfar Bridies!
