Raised Pork Pie
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound pork (lean and fat mixed)
salt and pepper
1 rounded tsp mixed dried herbs
1/4 pint jellied stock (made from pork bones)
***Hot Water Crust***
1 pound flour
1 teaspoon salt
7 ounces lard
7 1/2 fluid ounces oz milk and warm water (mixed in equal proportions)
milk (for glaze) - optional
1 large empty jar
DIRECTIONS:
Dice pork for filling, season well and add herbs.
For hot water crust: warm a mixing bowl and sift in flour and salt, make a well in the centre of the flour.
Heat lard in milk and water. When just boiling, pour into the well in the flour, stir quickly with a wooden spoon until thick, then work with hand to a dough. Turn on to a board or table, cut off a quarter of the dough, put it back in the bowl and cover with a cloth.
Pat out the rest of dough with the fist to a thick round, set a large jar in the centre and work dough up sides. Let dough cool then gently lift out jar. Fill dough case with meat mixture. Roll or pat out remaining dough to form a lid, leave a small hole in it, then put on top of pie, seal edges. Glaze with milk if wished.
Slide pie on to a baking sheet and bake in preset oven for 1-1 1/2 hours at 350 F. If pie is getting too brown, cover with damp greaseproof paper towards end of cooking time. Leave until cool before placing a funnel in hole in lid and filling up with jellied stock.
WATCHPOINT You must work quickly and mould pastry while it is still warm, otherwise lard sets and pastry becomes brittle.
