Now usually with a filling of minced mutton and onion.


Original Receipt from 'The Art of Cookery, Made Plain and Easy' By Hannah Glasse, 1747 (Glasse 1747)

To make a mutton pye.
TAKE a loin of mutton, take off the skin and fat of the inside, cut it into steaks, season it well with pepper and salt to your palate. Lay it into your crust, fill it, pour in as much water as will almost fill the dish; then put on the crust, and bake it well.
