How to make Shepherd Pie

1. Put a layer of mashed potato in the pie dish, on the base as well as the sides.
2. Place the filling.
3. Top with the balance mashed potato
4. Use a fork to make design on top then glaze with egg yolk.
5. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 celcius for 30 - 40 minutes or till golden in colour.

Note :
1. I didn't use mixed vegetable. I just used the corn kernal and canned green peas.
2. Didn't realise that I have to add in flour to the filling until I type this recipe...so there's no flour in my Shepherd Pie! And what's more, she didn't mention anything about flour in the ingredients!
3. I didn't glaze the topping with egg yolk.
4. As I am typing this recipe, I am reading the comments in the forum regarding this recipe. And she said, the mashed potato should not be as soft as mine was (like in my photo). They said to adjust the milk amount. Hmm...oh well...but I am happy with my Pie and there's only 1/4 left!
5. I made half the recipe.

Note from the owner of the recipe : [Ouote] kalu u all nak cuba..terailah adjust mana2 yg patut tang inti dia tu..leh tambah rempah kari ke or anything lah ikut tekak masing2 lah.... oppsss....pasal tepung gandum...I terlupa nak taip kat situ...actually boleh bubuh 1-2 sudu besar tepung gandum ke dalam inti untuk kasi inti tu pekat skit...
