Analyzing cooking steps...
Do not overmix the pastry dough; mix just until combined to ensure a tender crust.
Ensure the meat filling is completely cooled before assembling the pies to prevent the dough from becoming soggy.
Poking holes in the pies before baking allows steam to escape, preventing them from bursting.
Brush with beaten egg for a beautiful golden-brown crust.
