  10. Mix in the diced potatoes, tomato puree, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  11. Pour in the beef stock, bring to a boil, then simmer for 10-15 minutes until the mixture thickens.
  12. Roll out the pastry on a floured surface to about 3mm thickness.
  13. Use a large cookie cutter or pastry cutter to cut out rounds of pastry.
  14. Spoon some filling into the centre of each round of pastry.

Notes

  • You can make the filling ahead of time and store it in the fridge until needed.
