The filling is quite simple, but you can always add on to it if you desire. You’ll want to make sure the edges of the pies are well-crimped so the pies don’t leak in the oven. Oh, and don’t use completely flat cookie sheets like I did. Instead use a baking pan with a bit of an edge so that if there are any leaks they don’t spill onto the bottom of your oven and make a bunch of smoke.
These Forfar bridie hand pies are excellent when dipped into a bit of mustard, ketchup, or even a bit of BBQ sauce. Or you can have them plain with a helping of mashed potatoes on the side. You really can’t beat the homemade flavor of these hearty little pies.
