Instructions

Add stock, stirring to combine. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low. Stir in milk, then cover and cook for 3–5 minutes or until sauce boils and thickens slightly.
  3. Stir in frozen corn and peas, then parsley. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Transfer to a 20cm-round ovenproof dish. Set dish aside to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 1 hour to cool completely.
  4. Preheat oven to 220°C or 200°C fan-forced. Top dish with pastry, allowing excess pastry to overhang. Press a fork around edges to seal. Cut a small cross in the centre. Place dish on a baking tray and bake for 20 minutes or until golden.
