Method
- 1
Heat the oil in a pan and cook the onion for 5 minutes until soft. Add the mince and brown it for 6 minutes, breaking it up.
11 min - 2
Stir in the flour, then add the stock, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and herbs. Simmer for 20 minutes until thick, glossy and not at all runny. Season and leave to go completely cold.
20 min - 3
Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan) with a baking tray inside. Cut six rounds of shortcrust to line a 6 hole deep muffin or pie tin, pressing them in well.

Fill each case with the cold mince. Cut six lids from the puff pastry, brush the rims with milk and press the lids on firmly. Make a small slit in each.
- 5
Brush the tops with milk. Bake on the hot tray for 25 minutes until puffed and deep golden.
25 min - 6
Cool for 5 minutes before easing out of the tin. The filling will be very hot.
