OK seeing as it's nearly Christmas I will give you the recipe
To make 6 small Pork Pies.
Filling
400g minced or chopped Pork ( For best results you want about 20% fat content ---- this will disapear in cooking)
100g chopped or minced Bacon
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
half teaspoon mixed spice
half teaspoon msg (optional)
half cup water
Mix together and form into 6 round balls. Place on tray and put in freezer for about 3 hours to set the meat.
Hot water crust
350g Plain Flour
125g Lard
Quarter pint of water
Half teaspoon salt
Place water and lard in a pan and bring to boil
mix salt into flour pour the boiling water and mix together
tip onto floured board and knead pastry for 3-4 minutes as soon as cool enough to handle.
Using plenty of flour , roll out pastry to about 3-4mm thick. Cut 6 round disks 5" and 6 disks 3" (CD's are 5")
Take one 5" disk place ball of meat in center put lid on top
lift the base up to meet the lid at back of the pie, cup the pie with your right hand and pinch the lid and base together with your left, workig round the pie until it's sealed
You can the spin the pie between your cupped hands to get an even shape.
Complete the rest, place on a tray an refridgerate for an hour or so.
Glaze the tops with beaten egg and bake in a medium oven for 40 mins (If the pies start to brown too quickly turn the oven down a little)
Please post pictures of your results.
