How To Make forfar bridies

  • 1
    Cook meat in a large skillet over medium heat until evenly brown; drain fat. Remove from heat and stir in onion, broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
  • 2
    On a lightly floured surface, roll pastry out to 1/8" thickness. Cut into 6" rounds. Place about 1/2 cup filling on one half of each. Fold the pastry over the filling and crimp edges to seal.
  • 3
    Brush lightly with beaten egg white, and cut three slits in the top to allow for steam to escape. Place on baking sheet.
  • 4
    Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown.
