Meat Pie by the French Guy

Ingredients: 

• 1 pound puff pastry dough
• 17 ounces ground beef
• 1/2 onion, diced
• 9 ounces button mushroom, sliced
• 7 ounces plus 2 tablespoons water
• 4 fluid ounces veal stock, reduced
• 1 ounce flour
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 egg

Note: you will need 12, 6-inch aluminum tart
shells.

Method:
Mix the flour and 7 ounces of water
together. In a pot, combine the ground beef, mushrooms, veal stock,
Worcestershire sauce, and flour/water mixture. Let simmer over medium-low heat
for 1 hour. Remove from heat and let cool.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll out
the dough. Cut 12 8-inch circles and 12 6-inch circles. Place an 8-inch circle
in a tart shell and fill up to 2/3 full with meat mixture. Make the egg wash by
lightly beating the egg yolk and remaining water. Brush a 6-inch dough circle
with egg wash and place on top of the pie. With a scissors, cut an "X" in the
center of each pie. Place pies in oven and cook until the top is golden
brown.
