Preheat oven to 220c (400f )
Lightly grease a 24cm (9inch) pie dish and line with the short crust pastry sheet.(you might find you have to join bits of pastry to cover dish sides)
Add the mince filling and cover top of pie with the puff pastry sheet ,which should fit perfect and press together using a fork around edges.to join pastry sheets. (trim edges with a knife) .Put a slit in middle for steam....
Brush top of pie pastry with beaten egg for a nice glaze.
Cook for about 25-30minutes or until brown.
l found that you could divide mixture up to make 4 individual small pies...Also l found that the pie was better when eaten the next ed day.but thats me.....
