I'm usually pretty rubbish at making pastry but this recipe made some really nice pies: 12 oz Plain Flour 3 oz Butter 3 oz lard 1 oz sugar 1 egg yolk 2 tbsp water to bind Rub the fat into the flour until it goes like bread crumbs, then work in the egg and water to make a dough. It's quite dry this one so it's a bugger to roll -- stand it for 30 mins to give yourself a fighting chance. Cut the bases fill with mincemeat (bought mine!). Brush with milk and use a scalloped cutter to cut the tops. Brush with milk again, and cut a whole in the top. 15-20 minutes in the oven at 220C . When you take them out, try not to drop them all on the floor. If you do, don't swear as much as I did because it scares the neighbours. -- "Two beers please, my friend is paying." http://figroll.com/twobeers
