Dinner

[Mike313]

Hi Folks,

OK this is not about bushcraft or cooking outdoors but I thought I share this with you. I work from home (and only part-time) so I have it easy, but my dearly beloved works in a plant nursery - physical, tiring work - so, when I can, pretty much every day in fact, I like to have a nice meal ready for her (and me!) when she comes home. Now, she's a better cook than me but she does appreciate my efforts ;-)
So I wanted to show you the Minced Steak & Veggie Pie I made this evening.

I should have taken another picture showing it when I cut it open.

Anyway, there you go. I was proud of it (but I'm easily pleased!) Haha.

that's a cracking looking bit of pastry!

if you tell me that you made that flaky pastry I will be very impressed - I make my own shortcrust but can't be bothered making flaky.

That looks like a great pie!
A feast for both eye and belly

You can't beat Pie! And I agree, that pastry looks fantastic.

I have made flaky pastry in the past and it turned out fine (all that folding and rolling) but no, not this time, I used one call 'Jus-Rol'. Brushed it liberally with egg yolk (just the yoke, no white).

Thats how I do it (shhhh). I can knock up a "rough puff" ok, but as you say, making flaky is a faff
