Windsor Pies of Meat, Poultry, or Game

Take a pound of lean, uncooked mutton from the loin or leg, or an equal quantity of any other kind of meat, poultry, or game. Cut it into dice, season with pepper, salt, chopped mushrooms, finely-shredded parsley, and minced shallot, and moisten with good gravy. Line some patty-pans with pastry, three-parts fill them with the mixture, cover them with pastry, and press the edges securely together. Make a little slit in the centre of each patty, and ornament it. Brush the patties over with egg, and bake in a well-heated oven. When done enough, dish them on a napkin, and serve. Time to bake the patties, about twenty minutes. Sufficient, a dozen for a dish.
