Press each pie base into each hole lightly using fingers and draw the pastry up the mould so the pastry is 1 centimeter above the mould.

Spoon about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the beef mixture into each hole, brush edges with a small amount water, top each with a pastry lid and press the edges together to seal in the filling. (Use a fork if needed, or crimp the edges if using a muffin tin.)

Brush the pastry tops with beaten egg and prick the tops with a fork to allow stream to escape.
