Roll out remaining dough into a circle at 0.5cm thickness.Line a 20cm non-stick springform cake tin, pressing the pastry against the sides and base, leaving a 2cm overlap on the top of the tin to join the lid. Chill this pie case in the fridge for 10 minutes, and then pack in the meat farce.Roll out the dough for the lid as before, and place on the top. Crimp the pastry over together where it meets to make a seam, and then make a small hole in the centre of the lid for steam to escape.
