Directions:
Preheat oven to 425º. In a small saucepan, mix cornstarch and broth until blended; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook and stir 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat.
In a large skillet, cook pork, garlic and seasonings over medium heat 6-8 minutes or until pork is no longer pink; breaking up pork into crumbles; drain. Add broth mixture; cook and stir 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Cool slightly.
Unroll each pastry sheet. On a work surface roll each into a 12 inch circle. Using floured round cookie cutter, cut twenty 4 inch circles and twenty 2 3/4 inch circles, rerolling scraps as needed. Place large circles in ungreased muffin cups, pressing pastry onto bottoms and up sides.
Fill each with 3 T pork mixture. Place small circles over filling; press edges with a fork to seal. In a small bowl, whisk egg and milk; brush over tops. Cut slits in pastry.
Bake 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Carefully remove pies to wire racks. Serve warm.
