Instructions
In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, beef stock, grated onion, dry mustard, ground mace, salt and pepper. Grate the cold butter and gently mix the butter into the meat mixture. Set aside.
On a floured countertop or board, roll out one sheet of puff pastry and cut in half with a knife or pastry cutter. Add a handful of the meat mixture on one side of one piece of pastry.
Whisk the egg in a small bowl and then brush the egg on the edges of the pastry around the meat. Fold the pastry over and seal with your fingers. Repeat until you are out of meat. This recipe should make six large Forfar Bridies.
Brush the extra flour off the bridies, seal the edges with a fork and cut a small hole in the top for the steam to escape. Place on a lined baking sheet and brush the bridies with egg wash.
Bake at 450F for about 30 minutes or until the meat is cooked. The temperature in the center of the meat should be at leat 175F. Check the bridies at 20 minutes and tent them with foil if they are too brown.
