Steak and Kidney Pie

I like mine with lamb kidneys...but you'll need four. Soak them in salt first.
If you want it to feed more, add some button mushrooms, a can of cream of mushroom soup, and a half a can of milk. Butter helps too.

Ingredients for Beef Steak And Kidney Pie
2 beef kidneys, sliced
1 pound round of beef, cubed
3 tablespoons corn oil
2 medium sized onions, sliced
1 medium sized carrot, shredded
5 cups boiling water
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
½ tablespoon corn syrup
3 tablespoons Argo or Kingsfords Cornstarch
Crust for meat pie 1/3 cold warer, 1/3 butter, 1/3 flour (don't over work)...
or just buy a ready made pie crust
Instructions
Soak the kidneys fifteen minutes in cold salted water, then slice.
Pour the corn oil in a frying pan, brown the beef, onions and carrot in it, add the water and seasonings and simmer an hour.
Add the kidneys, thicken with the cornstarch dissolved in an equal amount of cold water, transfer to a good-sized baking dish, cover with the crust for Meat Pie and bake from thirty-five to forty minutes in a moderately hot oven, 350 to 375 degrees F.
