Heat the milk with
half a cup of water, 150 gram butter and the salt to the boiling
point. Switch off the heat and add the flour; stir well. Leave the
dough for one hour. Divide the dough into two pieces and roll these
out. Line a pie mold with one half of the dough. In the meantime,
fry the beef in the remaining butter until it is brown on all sides.
Heat the beef stock and add this; simmer for 2 hours. Take out the
meat and cut it into cubes. Fry the bacon and the onion for five
minutes; add the beef cubes and the beef stock. Stir the beer and
the 2 tbsp flour well together and add this to the meat. Heat slowly
for a few minutes and stir. Put this mixture in the pie and close it
with the remaining dough. Bake the pie for 45 minutes at 180
degrees Celsius.
