Notes

1. You can just about get all the lids that you need from 3 sheets of puff pastry (because the lid rounds are smaller than the shell). But just in case, have a 4th on hand otherwise you might end up with one pie without a lid, which would be very sad!

2. These freeze well after baking. You can reheat them from frozen, or thaw them first.

3.I have estimated the pastry that is discarded when the rounds are cut out in determining the nutrition analysis.
