Hi

Maybe more for the Brits, Kiwis or Ozzys but I would like to make some smaller hand size pies (meat, S&K etc) but am unsure of how the smaller pies are moulded. Has anyone done this before?

I have some small metal pie dishes. That would be for shortcrust pastry pies. I've also used small ceramic dishes.

There is another type of pastry used for traditional pork pies: hot water crust, which is moulded by hand, traditionally around a pie dolly.

Alternatively, if you want quite small pies you could use a muffin tin.
 
I have two small metal (nonstick) pie tins, cost me maybe $1US each. They work really well.

I've used ceramic ramekins as well, but they didn't brown the crust as nicely. I've never used a pie dolly.

I watched all contestants fail using that on the Great British Baking Show.

What about pies like Jamaican Patties and Empanadas. Don't need a pan for these.

That is why I do a lot of cooking on my outdoor equipment.
