Traditional Pastie

What is it?

Seasoned beef mince sits inside a folded half-moon pastry with a crimped edge. It's a frozen handheld format, designed for oven baking or heating until the pastry is crisp and the filling is hot through. Herbert Adams uses its premium pastry here, with a thinner, more layered shell than the standard bakery-style version. Compared with other items in the Herbert Adams frozen range, this one sticks closely to a traditional format. No sauce-heavy filling or mixed veg centre, just beef mince and seasoning in a compact parcel that's meant to eat from the hand or on a plate. It's the kind of pastry that's been a staple in Australian bakeries for generations, and this frozen version tries to stay close to that blueprint.
