Little meat pies with beer

   I  loved these little tarts with ground beef (for my daughter vegetable mix) and the  ground beef cook with beer which gives it a special flavor.

This recipe is adapted from my little book: "Little sweet and savory tarts" from Parragon Books Ltd

Place the flour in a bowl and add cold butter, crumbling it with your fingers, add salt, rubbing until it is the texture of breadcrumbs.
Add the ice water and  work the dough until smooth dough.
Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
After this work it on a table with flour, stretching with the roll pin.
