    But if you don't side with either of them, you won't get any pie at all! I can't decide either, so I'm siding with both of them and hoping for two pies.

    I could eat that once a week, no trouble. Although I'd add gravy, and given the choice I'd swap the pie for meat and potato. Preferably one of the Denby Dale ones that Asda used to stock but then ditched, much to my annoyance.

    Don't take your missis to Pateley Bridge. Kendalls the butchers do pork pies with the mushy peas inside the pie under the crust lid. Absolutely gorgeous they are. They do a decent black pudding too

    Agree. Hardest bit to get right. Rolled too thin and they leak the jelly/juice. Rolled too thick and you lose the crispness and the meat/pastry ratio is all wrong and they are stodgy.
    It took me a few attempts to get it consistent. Also if you take too long after mixing it gets too cold (it is hot water crust pastry) and it is difficult to roll out . If it is too hot it breaks up when rolling and shaping.
    Also the filling. I use a Magimix to chop the meat (takes seconds) but if you mix for too long and it is a slurry, too short and the lumps are too big and it falls apart. Just meat and white pepper (not too much) and stock flavoured gelatine is all you need. I prefer the Yorkshire pink pies with mix of cured and ordinary pork. Melton Mowbray grey ones I always find a bit greasy and meh!!

    All in all, tricky little buggers to master but worth the effort. That is why, if you find a good example like PT's you tend to stick with them.

    The Pork here is outstanding (more than can be said for the lamb) all pretty much locally reared, pretty cheap and quite often comes from what would be considered rare or heritage breeds in the UK. I make a batch of 4 medium sized at a time and they work out at a little over 2 euros each which considering I don't get the meat at wholesale prices and I only use best quality pork and pancetta is not bad No option anyway when I need my PP fix!

    I used to think Percy Turners were the best, but I have since discovered Hector Ellis's nephew is making Pork Pies at Mcquillans butchers in Royzton. Mcquillans I have to say, hand on heart, are far tastier in both meat and pastry.

    I must admit my main difficulty with my homemade, sorry, hand raised, pork pies is the shaping of the pastry.
    I can make it but then it all goes wrong in the tins. I've tried the pastry dollies but it's a nightmare.
    Do the rest of you have similar problems?

    Albert used to reckon that Potter`s were the closest to what they used to make.

    I had two steak and onion pies, mash, three Aunt Bessies Yorkshire puddings, mixed veg, mushy peas, beef gravy and mint sauce for tea last night. After reading this thread I went home Monday night and mentioned it to Laura so she got all bits in and I had a cracking tea last night :)
