  • Опубликовано: 17 сен 2024
  • Macaroni pie is a comfort food staple in Scotland, combining the creamy, cheesy delight of macaroni cheese with the convenience and portability of a pie. It consists of a pastry shell filled with cooked macaroni pasta mixed with a rich cheese sauce. Once assembled, the pie is baked until the pastry is golden and flaky, and the cheese sauce is bubbling hot. This dish is a beloved part of Scottish cuisine, often found in bakeries and fish and chip shops across the country. It offers a unique twist on traditional macaroni and cheese, making it a hearty, satisfying meal or snack that can be enjoyed both hot and cold.

      I came across your channel, purely by chance, just two weeks ago, and have been binge watching ever since.
      Now living in Indonesia these regional recipes, for a foodie in exile, have brought back so many taste memories, for which I thank you, most profusely.
      I am in correspondence with HY about importing the 24l Sapientia into Indonesia and am hammering the fact that it has been solely due to watching your live use of it on your channel that has convinced me that it is the best air fryer oven on the market, as your heartfelt enthusiasm for their product makes you their top salesman 😂

    OMG those look fantastic! I always slice tomatoes on top of my Mac & cheese. It cuts the richness & adds great flavor. I HATE making pastry & refuse to do it anymore now they have store bought options. It boggles my mind the way you make it with such ease like it’s no big deal(it IS) & it’s perfect every time! I’d kill to make it like you, but I’ve no patience for the mixing.

    My very first full-time job after leaving school, was in the bake house of a ferry company in Scotland. Where one of my main roles was forging the pie shells for Scotch Pies by using a heated which moulded and blind baked them one at a time for hours on end.

    Looks brilliant. I had my first (and only) one of these on a trip to the Outer Hebrides in our campervan May 2022. We spent a couple of nights on Skye and went to a local bakey one lunchtime and bought an assortment of pastries - one of which was a Macaroni cheese pie. It was lovely stood looking over the harbour with our Labrador eating this. I know it's carbs on top of carbs but once in a while :)

Nowadays there is only my Husband and myself we divide into three and freeze two. Lovely food, cheap cheerful, and tasty. It also has onions and capsicum (peppers in the UK). Sometimes we swap the capsicum out and have peas or broccoli - depends on what we have in. Good cooking Rik. xx

      @@BackyardChef I messed the crust up. I made a mistake in converting the shortening into cups. I seems I added way too much and was very wet. Added some flour and then it was too dry and kept splitting apart. I finally pieced a crust together but I was kind of blah in the flavor. The macaroni was very tasty though. Will have to try it again in the future.
