This is an unbelievable recipe suggestion from a Channel contributor. I did change it to my ways of cooking. Hope she doesn't mind! Liz is an amazing lady all the way from bonny Scotland. She is an integral part of this channel. I love her comments and inspiration. Well done, Liz! I know she is a mother - Happy Mother's Day! Thank you. Best, Rik
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 😂
A lot of these recipes, like this one, corned beef rissoles, Woolton pie, Friday pie, and so on, are not only tasty but very inexpensive. Great for these tough times.
@@BackyardChef I am a man after your own heart as far as relaxed cooking is concerned. As I once told my wife, "my cooking is like my lovemaking, you never know what you're going to get - some days it'll be fantastic, other days not quite - but it'll always be enjoyable 😁😁 Doner kebab, in a Scotch pie pastry, may be just that
Traditional Scottish Pie, the football supporter's best friend, is made with hot water pastry. The bakers just carried on using the same pastry for the Macaroni pie. Just made sense.
I made hot pastry once for a pie, and it turned out very well. It's a bit tricky getting it to stay round, but I just used large jars because I didn't have the right tins until it set, and it worked. The family loved them.
I can always tell when you have made something delicious, my tummy starts rumbling. Its usually around about when you say " look at that" and go to take your first bit, and my mouth opens in time with yours!!
Congratulations on passing the 80K subscribers tally Rik 🎉🍻👍, going by the past few weeks, you’re not far short of reaching that BIG benchmark being awarded your YT play-button plaque! Great job on the macaroni pies Rik style 🥧, delicious & ring the changes with the addition of some diced bacon/ham & finely diced onion!😋 Thanks as always 🙏! 👨🍳👌
Really pleased you mentioned adding onions at the end , Rik. As you were biting into the pie, that was my thought too. Excellent lunch-time comfort food at its very best! Cheers for now. Pete A :) :) :)
I agree; the folks here are lovely. The tosh that try to spoil it I send on their way. I love all the ideas and interactions. I read every comment. Thank you. Best, Rik
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.
Awesome stuff Rik, I love how you make these recipes so accessible for everyone to try. I've had my fair share of macaroni pies over the years (my waistline can testify to that), these look so much better than the ones I can get from my local shop.👍
I would never have thought of mac and cheese as a pie filling! Being a carnivore, I think I'll add some diced meat to the macaroni, and maybe mushrooms... Talk about thinking outside the box! Thank you, Rik
This is a real big recipe in Scotland. Not my way more the traditional in a pie. I love it! This was a fantastic suggestion for a subscriber Liz. Thank you. Best, Rik
I like your style of cooking, changing things up to your taste/mood and by you making it like this it opens up ideas to do other things. Once you have a shell, can experiment with different flavors/textures.
Yes indeed, Rick. I used to buy them from the butchers when I went to visit my Mum. It was a Scotch Pie with mashed potato on top with baked beans in the centre. It was a hot water pastry. With her getting older, her appetite wasn't as good. Great for lunch or dinner. Your pastry is amazing. Thank you very much.
My husband and I live in Gilbert, Arizona USA and we love a good pie! LOL. Never heard of this but will definitely be giving it a try. Love your channel! I found it when looking for a Welsh Rarebit recipe (my ancestors hail from Wales and Scotland). Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend. Love from the Sonoran Desert, Lisa and Peter
The variation on the custardy cheese mixture used here, reminds me of how mac-n-cheese is made in the Southern states of the US. 👍🏻👍🏻 The way you put it in a crust shell is tops!! 😊 Thank you.
What a wonderful recipe, I’m going to make it tomorrow to take it to a friend who is nursing a broken knee. I will definitely add some shallots and maybe some shrimp in there as well. it could be made with so many variations. Thank you for all your wonderful ideas. My grand dad was Scottish , but my mom never made this kind of pie.
Subscribers are racking up fast! It was 75k just few days ago, fantastic, Rick! Found this channel two weeks ago. I'm planning to move to the countryside soon, and these recipes have given me lots of ideas what I will grow in my garden patch and how to use those I was gonna put there anyway :). Wish you all the best! And greetings from Eastern Finland, Ilari.
Rik, they look beautiful. Your take on the cheese sauce is a lot easier. Definitely onion. Happy Mother's Day to your better half. Thank you so much. See you in the next video.
Liz, what a fantastic idea this was. Yes, small diced onions pre-cooked here take this to another level! You have inspired me with a couple more ideas from this. A couple more ideas have come through from folks In Scotland, too. I love the meat pie with mash in and baked beans. Wishing you all the very best, Rik
Thats next on my list to bake Rik in my new hysapientia air fryer oven. They look fab. Yes, i might put onions in too. Thank you. I attempted to copy your rotisserie chicken in the air fryer but i was about 1.46Kg and was too large to turn properly. Ill try slightly smaller next time. I didnt know how to tie legs together either in case the string caught fire. Everyone out there....this hysapientia air fryer is the dogs doodas. 😂 I dont think a one with pull out drawers would suit my type of baking and cooking. Thank you so much for introducing me to it via your videos.
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 :)
This looks great, I will try this custard method when I make Mac and cheese. I like to add a few spoonfuls of salsa to my Mac and cheese. Onion also sounds good.
Fabulous! I love your take on Macaroni. The béchamel method has always tasted like glue to me. Your method is clearly superior and more nutritious to boot. A keeper for sure!
I love you macaroni pie I have a granddaughter who just love macaroni and cheese so when she comes to stay with me for Easter I will make it for her to try and I know she will love it ❤
I'm definitely going to try this! I'm thinking that in addition to your onion idea, I would add crispy bacon or jalapeños. Love your easy-going style of cooking.
Risk channel is now my favourite (Backyard Chef) very intuitive making use of basic and tasty ingredients, and lets be perfectly clear!!! It doesn’t break the bank... Totally satisfied subscriber... 🙌🏻👏🏻
@@BackyardChef I can't think of anything mate, I think you've covered all my favourites😂 maybe more British takeaway style recipes? More chippy recipes, think you have done loads already. Keep doing your thing mate!!!
...oh my, everyone, I made these pies, wow! Took it to work, couldn’t be bothered heating it .... Absolutely one of those recipes you can have hot or otherwise. Epic.... ✊🏻
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.
@@Rachel-gd7mx luckily I was only in that particular role for about two or three weeks before I was transferred over to working in the tea room on the ferries, so I wasn’t doing it long enough to get bored…I had also already been a vegetarian for a few years by that point and at that time (back in the nineties) you couldn’t get vegetarian Scotch Pies and most cheese wasn’t vegetarian, so the pies weren’t too much of an issue really. 😊
@@Rachel-gd7mx it was a lot of fun, early starts, a cabin on the boat and late nights drinking and having pub crawls with the rest of the crew…and only working half the week. Happy days indeed 😊
This will definitely be on my hit list for this week. I like the alernative way to make the filling a great deal.Will make some jerk chicken to go alongside them .😋. Got the bake setting down to a fine art already, despite only having the Hysapienta for a few weeks now.Forfar Bridies,Creamy chicken & Mushroom pies, cornish pasties,Corned beef & potato pasties,Steak & Kidney pies ..All made with your quick & simple pastry recipes. Only slight disaster was Scotch pies with the hot water pastry but my first attempt in many years & a fair job to be honest . I will master the pastry very soon for sure. Thank you for inspiring me again Rik ,my family & friends are very grateful for their little homemade treats ..🥰..x
Only ever seen them with hot water pastry, every bakery in Scotland sells these as they’re very popular, not something I ever crave . I do however love hot water pastry Rhubarb pies ! Popular in the west coast Scotland pie land 🤣 nice one again Rik 👍👍
I always put dry mustard in my macroni and cheese. I didn't realize other people do the same.When my kids were little, I would chop ham and put it in.@@BackyardChef
So funny, just watched this after eating Tuna, cheese, and macaroni (not in a pie crust though) for dinner. I make this regularly and our kids used to think it was fabulous. 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
Rik, my phone rang right when you bit into the pie. I said, Aw COME ON!!! If it had been anyone else besides my son, I would have ignored the call 😂 Now, back to the best part of the video. 🍴 🍽
We have tried several of your recipes and they have been great. I am attempting your macaroni pie tonight and hopefully it’s turns out as good as your does. We even bought your air fryer and so far it is great. Keep up the awesome job and congrats on hitting the 100k mark.
@@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.
Next time add a good amount of braised cubes of smoked bacon and the already mentioned diced shallotts to the mix. I guess you'll like that too. 🤤 Greetings from Germany!
Do I like it? No I love it. Just think if you made these in little tins for your kids and taught them to eat this instead of the stuff out of the blue box. You would have a much healthier child and the way that Rick did. It is brilliant and that also provides a lot of protein. Just terrific! It also made me glad that I have macaroni and cheese which I made earlier this week in my refrigerator because I'm definitely going to have to have some now. 😊 You know I live in West Virginia in the United States and we like Spam. We like spam and eggs and spam sandwiches. And oh some tiny little pieces of spam. Diced through here would just be fantastic, especially if you use the kind with jalapenos.❤
Hi Rik. been watching for awhile, since your using the HYSapientia which i bought 14 months ago, nice bit of bacon lardons would have been nice, even cheese and onion for a different take, the mind boggles!
Hi Rik, I've just made the Mac& Cheese Pie and WOW we loved it. I did put extra cheese and seasoning in and mixed breadcrumbs with cheese for the topping. Can you freeze these pies or will the pasta go hard once cooked again? Thanks again Julie
I'm thinking maybe a small amount of diced ham and green peppers. Though I would be hard pressed to fill my precious pastry shells with this, it would be an impressive side dish if you were having company for dinner. Mac and cheese deluxe :) Thanks Rik.

We have tried several of your recipes and they have been great. I am attempting your macaroni pie tonight and hopefully it’s turns out as good as your does. We even bought your air fryer and so far it is great. Keep up the awesome job and congrats on hitting the 100k mark.
Thank you. Just take your time and it all works out just fine. Best, Rik
@@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.
@@MsSpaz OH! Just over a cup of shortening. Let me know how you get on. Thank you. Best, Rik
It came out beautifully 🎉Though i don't care for baked pasta, not even in lasagne very much. It's a texture thing . Bon apatite to all that do❤
Thank you. Best, Rik
I can taste this already. Think. Fried onions and ham in mine.
Lovely! Thank you. Best, Rik
Next time add a good amount of braised cubes of smoked bacon and the already mentioned diced shallotts to the mix. I guess you'll like that too. 🤤 Greetings from Germany!
Yum! Thank you. Best, Rik
Do I like it? No I love it.
Just think if you made these in little tins for your kids and taught them to eat this instead of the stuff out of the blue box. You would have a much healthier child and the way that Rick did. It is brilliant and that also provides a lot of protein.
Just terrific!
It also made me glad that I have macaroni and cheese which I made earlier this week in my refrigerator because I'm definitely going to have to have some now.

You know I live in West Virginia in the United States and we like Spam. We like spam and eggs and spam sandwiches. And oh some tiny little pieces of spam. Diced through here would just be fantastic, especially if you use the kind with jalapenos.❤
I love spam. Its a very adaptable ingredient. I will be uploading making my own soon. Just haven't got round to filming it. Thank you. Best, Rik
So much better than our " Kraft Macaroni Diner 😘
Thank you. Best, Rik
I like bacon bits in my macaroni cheese & I think it would be fantastic. Yumm!
Thank You. Best, Rik
Hi Rik. been watching for awhile, since your using the HYSapientia which i bought 14 months ago, nice bit of bacon lardons would have been nice, even cheese and onion for a different take, the mind boggles!
Agreed! Thank you. Best, Rik
Hi Rik, I've just made the Mac& Cheese Pie and WOW we loved it.
I did put extra cheese and seasoning in and mixed breadcrumbs with cheese for the topping.
Can you freeze these pies or will the pasta go hard once cooked again?
Thanks again Julie
You can freeze. How do you reheat - very low oven or microwave . Thank you. Best, Rik
Love british scotish American food
Thank you. Best, Rik
Them pies look bloody delicious Rik enjoy. Who does your washing up 😂
Me! Thank You. Best, Rik
I thought onions would be good in it too. Yum
Agreed! Thank you. Best, Rik
Lovely what dry mustard did you use didt look like Collmans?
Its a generic English, not Colman's. Thank you. Best, Rik
Hoho! Carbs on your carbs - yum!
Thank you. Best, Rik
Some diced caramelized onions might be good in there.
Thank you. Best, Rik
I'm not a big fan of hot water pastry but I do enjoy Scotch pies ,,,, this pastry recipe is it suitable for Scotch pies ?? ,,,, thanks.
Yes indeed! Thank you. Best, Rik
I'm thinking maybe a small amount of diced ham and green peppers. Though I would be hard pressed to fill my precious pastry shells with this, it would be an impressive side dish if you were having company for dinner. Mac and cheese deluxe :) Thanks Rik.
Thank you as always. Thank you. Best, Rik
"El Dante" is the best way to cook pasta 😁
Thank you. Best, Rik
Al dente even 😊
