Traditional Scottish Bridies | Handheld Meat Pies from Scotland

I lived just a few miles from Forfar Scotland for several years and I never realized that most people don't know what a Forfar Bridie is!

Forfar is a town in Angus Scotland and it is famous for the Bridie, which is similar to a Cornish Pasty except that it doesn't contain potato or swedes (rutabaga in the US). Scottish Forfar Bridies contain meat, onion, and a few spices wrapped in pastry. A lot of recipes call for either puff pastry or shortcrust pastry. In Forfar and the surrounding area, I have seen puff or flaky pastry the most often.

Here is the recipe. For a full printable recipe card, visit
