Method

  • step 1

    To make the pastry, tip the flour into a large bowl with 1 tsp salt. Heat the lard and 210ml of water in a medium saucepan until the lard melts and the water is just simmering. Carefully pour the hot liquid into the flour and stir together with a wooden spoon. When the mixture has comes together, tip it onto a floured surface and knead lightly to make a dough. Cover and set aside.

  • step 2

    To make the filling, mix the pork, cider, 1 tsp salt, sage, mace and sugar together in a large bowl. Add the bacon, onion, apple and potato to the mixture. Once again mix really well – the best way to do this is with your hands.

  • step 3

    Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Place a 22cm springform cake tin, without its base, on a baking sheet. Line the bottom of the tin with a layer of greaseproof paper and butter the sides well. On a lightly floured surface roll out two-thirds of the pastry to a large circle and use it to line the cake tin, allowing the pastry to overlap the rim slightly. Trim off any excess. Roll remaining pastry to form a lid large enough to cover the pie. Set aside.

  • step 4

    Put filling in the pie case and push down well. Brush the pastry case’s edges with a little water and cover with the lid. Crimp the edges together and brush the whole with the beaten egg. Bake for 1 hr then turn off the heat and allow the pie to cool in the oven for 30 mins. Remove from oven and cool for 1 hr before eating.

Sadly, one of the blandest fillings to any pie I have ever made. I won’t be repeating this recipe.

After reading some of the comments posted I made the following changes and the pie was perfect. No liquid escaped during cooking. After grating the apple, potato and onion press them into a sieve or colander to remove as much liquid as possible before adding them to the other ingredients. Reduce the…

Wonderful recipe--although after having read some comments I did change it a bit. I used nearly double the amount of sage listed (it's not at all too strong), and 80ml of cider only. Next time I make this though (and there will definitely be a next time!), I might not use any cider at all (or maybe…

I made this pie today and it was marvelous! Very flavorful.

I used only 80ml cider and added more sage (1.5x). Perfect.

Needless to say that I will be making it again very soon.
