A Forfar bridie is a popular Scottish creation that isn’t quite as famous as Cornish pasties, but if you ask me, they win the prize for the tastier of the two!

Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons beef or vegetable stock
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
1 (16 oz) package puff pastry or 1 (14 oz) package empanada baking discs, thawed
1 egg white
Preparation
Preheat oven to 440˚F. Combine beef, onion, mustard, salt, pepper, and stock in a large bowl. Fold in butter.
If using puff pastry cut into 6-8 equal circles about 6″ across. Add filling to circles and wet one half of the perimeter. Fold over and press with a fork to seal the edges. Brush with beaten egg white and cut a couple slits in the top of each one for steam to come out.
Bake for 32-35 minutes or until golden brown on outside, covering with foil about halfway through baking. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving
