    That hot water crust is brilliant, probably the fastest pastry recipe I've ever seen without sacrificing flavor.

    Those pie crusts were beautifully crimped around the outside, round the outside, round the outside.

    Your lovely voice sends me to sleep (in the nicest possible way) As a retired restaurant owner and chef, I don't need recipes or help on how to cook...but you transform the whole business into such an easy way for folks to learn, and make everything so simple and encouraging..
    It's so relaxing..
    Thank you.

    Great idea for leftovers and great to see the pie with a bottom like we eat pies in Australia.Watching the Boxing Day cricket is the perfect situation lol.
    I was in Queensland and had a King Prawn in garlic rue in a pie it was sublime. So many versions with steak
    Bacon & cheese
    Curry (chicken)
    Tomato and onion
    Butter chicken

    I just had a conversation with a co-worker, why their's such a thing as water crackers. We work in a deli & make chicken salad. I guess to scoop up the chicken salad.I told her I'd read that sailors and cowboys ate something called hard tack. Flour, salt & water. Fills an empty hole in the stomach. But the addition of butter? Oh yeah!👍

    For some reason the pork pie has never caught on in the US. As a tween my mother fed them to me consistently and they are a perfect snack or meal. Very portable. I'm an American but we lived in the UK for a while. I can attest to the hot-water crust being legit. I must make some

    This is EXACTLY how I make pot pies, but I use TUNA instead of ham. I loved Banquet tuna pot pies, so I figured out how to make them on my own. I use traditional pie crust, but will be trying THIS method soon. These things freeze QUITE well, also. I make a few dozen and then freeze them for when I "get the urge"......

  • @adamrash4771
    @adamrash4771 7 месяцев назад

    Probably like 15 to 20 years ago I saw a potpie recipe on a TV that called for two pot pie crusts "boiling water crust" for the bottom and regular for the top. I searched a bit but never found any info online about boiling water crusts and half questioned whether I remembered the recipe correctly at some point. Now I realize I probably would had much more success searching the term "hot water crust" instead.
    This looks great though and I doubt I would ever actually go through with the two pie crusts as it seems like too much work just to have flakey crust on top.
    On a somewhat related note, i believe the crust is the best part of a pot pie and I've always been disappointed by recipes that just cover the top of a ramekin with a circle of dough and call it a pie.
