TRADITIONAL MEAT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Pie Crust: Mix flour and shortening. Add salt and cold water. Add all the cold water at once and mix delicately. Form a ball and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Once dough is chilled, flour your worktop. Divide dough in half. Roll out 2 pie crusts. One should be slightly larger than the other, this will be your bottom crust.
• Meat Filling: Heat the oil in a large pot. Add the pork and onion and cook over medium-low heat for 45 minutes, stirring often. When pork is cooked remove fat from pan. Add grated potato, salt, pepper, and allspice, to taste. Stir well, and let mixture rest for 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter the bottom of 9-inch pie plate. Place the bottom crust in the pie plate and poke several holes in the crust with a fork. Make sure an ample amount of crust spills over the edges of the pie plate. Fill the crust with the meat mixture. Level with a spatula. Wet edges of bottom crust and place top crust over meat mixture. Press top crust onto meat mixture to eliminate any air holes. Beat together the egg and the milk to make an egg wash. Pinch the crust edges together and brush the top crust with the egg wash.
• Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F and continue baking for 15 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
• Slice and serve hot or cold.

PORK PIE

Steps:

• For the double crust leaf lard pastry: In a bowl, mix the flour and salt together with 2 knives. Cut in the lard until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the ice water over the mixture, a spoonful at a time, stirring with a fork and adding just enough water so it holds together. Shape into a ball, press into a flat disc, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
• For the pork filling: Heat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp; remove to a plate. Add the pork and a pinch of salt and brown for 2 minutes; remove to a plate. Add the potatoes, celery, celery leaves, parsley, savory, garlic and onions and sweat for 3 to 5 minutes. Deglaze the skillet with 1 cup of water, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Add the pork and bacon back to the skillet with the cinnamon, cloves and a large pinch of salt, and simmer until the liquid has evaporated, 20 minutes.
• While the mixture is simmering, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly flour a work surface. Roll out the chilled pastry into two 13-inch rounds for a 10-inch double-crust pie, or into one 14-inch round for a single-crust pie. If using the double-crust method, line a 10-inch pie plate with one of the pastry rounds and fill with the meat mixture; cover with the remaining pastry. Trim and crimp the edges to seal, and cut small steam vents. Brush the top of the pastry with the egg yolk and milk mixture. If using the single-crust method, place the meat mixture in a 10-inch pie plate and cover with the single pastry round. Trim, press the edges into the sides of the pan and cut small steam vents in the center. Brush the top of the pastry with the egg yolk and milk mixture. Bake until the crust is golden, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool for 30 minutes and serve warm.

PORK PIES

Steps:

• For the filling: Mix together the bacon, pork shoulder, Worcestershire, mustard, fish sauce, salt, nutmeg and some pepper in a bowl. Divide into 4 even portions. Wrap each portion in 1 or 2 slices of prosciutto, then wrap in plastic and refrigerate.
• For the hot-water crust: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Make a well in the center of the flour. Set aside.
• Add the milk, water and lard to a saucepan; heat until warm and the lard has melted. Pour into the flour well and work the mixture with a wooden spoon until uniformly moistened. Transfer to a clean work surface and knead until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Wrap the dough in plastic and set aside to rest for 4 or 5 minutes. (Do not allow the dough to cool any further: as it cools, it sets and becomes hard to handle.)
• While the dough is still warm and pliable, divide it into 4 pieces. Pinch off a scant quarter of the dough from each piece and set aside. Form the larger portions into balls, then press into 5- to 6-inch disks. Using a small jar wrapped in plastic wrap, press the dough so that it reaches halfway up the jar, forming a "cup." Place the chilled, prosciutto-wrapped filling in the cups. Press the reserved smaller pieces of dough into disks and place on top of the filling, pinching the bottom crust and "lid" together at the edges. Make a hole in the middle of the lid with a chopstick or the handle of a wooden spoon. Brush the top of each pie with egg wash.
• Bake the pies for 20 minutes and then reduce the heat to 350 degrees F; bake for about 40 minutes more.

PORK AND APPLE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350^F.
• Brown the pork with 1/4 cup of the butter and the chopped onion.
• Reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes,covered.
• Add the apples, thyme, A-1 Sauce and parsley.
• Continue cooking for 15 minutes.
• Combine the cornstarch and water to make a slurry and pour over pork.
• Stir well, add sherry and remove from heat.
• Pour into pie shell.
• In a separate bowl, mash the hot potatoes with 1/4 cup of the butter and the milk.
• Add salt, pepper and nutmeg.
• Spread over the pork mixture to cover.
• Dot the potatoes with the remaining butter.
• Bake 25 minutes, until golden.
• I like to use a pastry bag with a wide tip to pipe the potatoes onto the pork mixture.
• It gives the pie a more attractive appearance when it comes out of the oven.

RAPPIE PIE

Steps:

• 1. Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F/180 degrees C. 2. Cut chicken into large pieces. Place in pot with just enough water to completely cover. Add onions , celery ,carrots and simmer until chicken is tender. 3. Remove chicken from the pot, , take out the celery and carrots but not the onions and reserving the broth. This is very important to have a VERY good broth. Remove meat from the bones. Cut meat into smaller, bite-sized pieces. 4. Grate potatoes. I bought a juicer that collects the pulp in the back rather than grate all your potatoes buy hand, Place grated potatoes in cotton bag. I use a thin dish towel and squeeze vigorously to extract all the water. The goal is to get rid of as much water as possible by squeezing it out .Make SURE to save and measure the saved potato water. Save all the starch that has collected in the bottom of the bowl ,add to the grated potatoes. 5. Bring the reserved chicken broth to a boil. Scald the grated potatoes in an amount of broth equal to approximately the water you extracted from the potatoes. Blend the broth with the potatoes , pore in 3 stages so the potato mixture gets mixed very well 6. Add half of the potato mixture into greased rectangular baking pan or a large casserole dish Add the chicken, then top with remaining potato mixture. Place salt pork or bacon on top , not lots ,just pieces here and there. 7. Bake for 2 hours, or until top is uniformly brown.

PORK POT PIE

Steps:

• PIE CRUST: Makes one set top/bottom.
• Mix together white wheat flour, salt, and sugar.
• Cut shortening or butter into flour. I like to leave pretty good size chunks of shortening or butter to make the pie crust more flaky.
• Add ICE COLD water a Tbsp at a time until flour/shortening pieces stick together and are ballable. ** I always add a different amount of water when doing pie crust. At most you may use a 1/4 C of water and at least you may use 1/8°C I think it depends on the moisture in the flour/sugar/salt/air as to how much you would add.**.
• Split ball into half and roll out bottom and top of pie crust to a 1/2 centimeter thickness.
• FILLING: Fills 2 pie crusts

• Add cubed pork and sour cream to frying pan.
• Simmer for a few min, then pour into pie crust. Cover with 2nd layer of crust. Bake for 50 min at 375.
