Corned beef pie
I hadn’t eaten corned beef in decades until making this, and a single mouthful took me back to quick midweek teas, sunny school holiday sandwiches and the tins opened with a ‘key’ winding the metal back. Try this delicious version to bring you back!

Roll the pastry to about 1/2cm thick. Cut out the pastry to size - so that covers your dish, and then lay it on top. Cut around the side of the plate to remove excess and then crimp the pastry at the edges to seal the dish, cut a small air vent then brush with the beaten egg
