Welcome back to What’s For Tea :) and tonight for tea I made a batch of Scotch pies!
Scotch pies are ever so popular all over Scotland and as they can be eaten hot or cold, are very often eaten as a snack or quick hand held lunch on the go! Also very popular as a quick dinner or tea :) commonly served with baked beans & chips or mashed potato & gravy.
Everything I used will be listed below incase you want to make it for yourself. Thanks for stopping by,

It looks nice so I’ll have a go. However, I was surprised for the teaspoon of PEPPER! Was that right? It seems a lot of pepper for 300g of mince. I would appreciate of your time to confirm the quantity of pepper. Many thanks. David
Hi David…you’re right! 🙂 it does make the pies quite peppery! If you don’t want them noticeably peppery, I would suggest using 1/2 a teaspoon instead.
@@WhatsForTea one Table spoon is better
They are supposed to be peppery. I just made mine double batch, sooooooooo good!
They look lovely just like me mum made!😁✌
I use a couple of ladles worth
I'm from the US originally but lived in Scotland for a year as a kid, and these were my absolute favourites. I missed them so much that when I was in college (in New York) I called the Scottish consulate to ask where I could find them! Now I live in Edinburgh and will never lack for Scotch pies again.
Love your pie story mate ,inspired . Mon ra pies .
The Scottish consulate !?
Now you can make your own
@@callumclark3358 Really -- Scotland is not independent yet!
@@VLind-uk6mb Well, no, the reference to the “Scottish consulate “ is intriguing. It’s a nice story though, whoever he called.
I love your channel. I'm from glasgow and now reside in Canada, everything you make from traditional scottish foods I grew up with, it brings me home, along with your wonderful accent. We can't get the scottish pies and that's what I miss the most, so was just jumping for joy when i saw you make them. Remember when bakers used to sell them with mashed potatoes and peas or beans on top. Oh my!
Made scotch pies for the first time following your recipe. Five stars from my parents who left Scotland 30 years ago. Great recipe and guidance👍
The great thing about your videos is that you give folk the confidence to have a go at cooking and baking things they never thought they could. Thank you. 💕
I could listen to you forever. I visited Scotland in2006,best country I have ever visited. Everyone was so nice. I am of Scottish decent and so so proud of it. Thank you
Ok, I’ve watched 4 of these things in a row, they’re becoming addictive.
I grew up in Luton and used to have Scotch pies for lunch in a local cafe regularly - a real nostalgia trip watching the video - thanks.
I grew up in Luton too, but never knew that Scotch pies were available there.
They look delicious. Quite a reminder of my youth. Thank you so much for that.
Wow. This just got me all sentimental. You sound just like my grandma Maggie, who made us Scotch pies. I'm first generation American. My grandparents came to NYC in America in the fifties. But I grew up on a healthy dose of Scottish culture. I loved these pies! There's only one place in New Jersey, which is pretty far from here, that sells Scotch Pies, I really have to get some. I cannot cook at all. Thanks for the video and the memories. ❤
We pay$7.00 a pie here . Even though lamb is expensive here,it's still cheaper to make them at home. My Great Grandfather moved from Edinburgh to Winnipeg, opened a bakery,his specialty was the pie. He did very well as he lived in a community full of Scots. ❣️
My husband grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah and there was a company, Morrison's, that, until just a few years ago, sold what they called meat pies. The local grocery stores carried them or you could go to Morrison's and get them.
I did some reading up on the company and discovered the guy who started the business was from Scotland, so I asked you a few weeks ago about them and you enlightened me.
In Utah, most folks eat them in a bowl, covered in tomato soup or chili. Unfortunately the most popular canned chili in Utah is a local brand, Nalley's. It's horrible. But...I have homemade chili on the menu soon, so I'll be making these scotch pies in the days after!
Seriously, I can't thank you enough!! And neither can my husband!!
Thank you for doing this recipe...
Brings back memories off eating these in Glasgow with my departed friend.. xx
If you're going to give these a go...remember to grease your tins with butter and line the bottoms with greaseproof paper x
Oh well just made some, albeit in little Yorkshire pudding tins, fantastic pastry and they really look the part. I will definitely be experimenting with different fillings and pie sizes. Thanks again!
bulletsholes I suspect that in commercial versions it would be more breadcrumb than meat!
bulletsholes a little salt, more pepper.
Looks so delish! I'll take a baker's dozen ... for breakfast!
Hello! I do not generally use mace. What does it do to your lamb or mutton?
Cheryl, you and your wee channel are truly delightful. Delicious recipes, beautiful scenery, and down to earth presentations are a bright spot in the day!
These look great. Have to say, loving all of your videos. As a Scotsman who’s been living in Yorkshire for these past 17 years, I miss many of the traditional cakes and bakes and meals that I grew up with so fondly in Paisley. Definitely looking forward to arming myself with lots of good ingredients and following your videos to try make my own. Thank you so very much for being by far the friendliest, simplest to follow, and warmest of “how to” Scots cooking vids. Trying to source a good Scots butcher that will deliver, and might need to wait until after this current pandemic gets under control, so any Scots butcher recommendations welcome. Cheers 👍👍👍
Thanks for the wonderful video. My .02c, or maybe I should say .02 pence: The white pepper is the secret ingredient. My Scottish grandparents would also use oats mixed into the the mince with sweet onion. The cool thing is that there are a lot of different takes on how to make them. Granddad use to also use a quarter teaspoon of ground ginger and coriander. I further modified the recipe by sometime use ground bison. I will often make a double batch and use the traditional ground lamb, one pound, with one pound of the bison.
Been in Australia for 4 years now, and you made me realise I REALLY miss Scotch pies.
Omaristalis The missing doesn't go away, I have been in Australia for 20 years and still miss these pies lol
If you live in the Brisbane area you can get pies , birdies from Syd’s pies on the pacific Highway. No Binleeigh
Looks amazing Cheryl, can't wait to try this recipe.
Once thing I absolutely love about your videos is you show truly nothing beats homemade, hearty food, I live near Newcastle, so it's really nice to see you showing us how to bring Scotland to us in these hard times, hope you and your family are in happy health!
Keep it up! I love your videos!
Hello I am originally from Aberdeen now living in San Diego ! I do all the cooking for my wife and I .I have been buying the meat pies in British. pub / Restaurant in San Diego they are made by a Scots butcher in Florida ,they are not bad but they started getting pricy ( $20.00 for four ) .I was watching a old British war movie on U Tube when I found your recipe for the pies and decided to have a go ,I bought a set of small cake tins ( 4 ins ) and cooked them today ,they came out quite well and will make them again.I am trying to figure out how to include a picture .Anyway Thank you very much for sharing your recipe.Tom Gibson .
I was excited to read “in a Scottish pub in San Diego” as my son lives in Coronado. Then I saw they actually came from FL. Nonetheless, it’s worth a stop and a go, right! Thanks ! I’m also going to use this recipe for the “real deal”.
Glad I moved away bitter, sour people.
Cheers.
Thank you so much for this. I lived in Scotland for several years (long ago) and Scotch Pie is one my favorite foods. I've tried to making them myself from similar recipes but technique was never really covered whereas your video is just perfect in showing me exactly how to do it right.
I am trying this for sure. I was just looking for a scotch pie recipe couple days ago too. Thanks loads. Brilliant tea as always
These pies look fantastic! I have to add these to my list of things to try. Also, after watching your videos for the past several months I think I need to put the Isle of Arran on my travel list. It looks absolutely lovely!
Thank you for sharing these wonderful Scottish recipes with us
As kids, this was our Saturday lunch treat;
.....now I live in Italy, I'm definitely going to try your recipe.
Thanks so much! 🏴 💙
Oh my gosh! So happy to have found our channel. I lived in the UK for a time and my Scottish mother-in-law turned me on to so many wonderful traditional foods. I miss them so. Can't wait to give this a try
Those look absolutely delicious. It’s nice to learn about my heritage.
These are my favourite pies! So happy to have the recipe, thank you!
I fell in love with these pies when I was up in Kippen on my holidays, thank you sooo much for this recipe
I have been waiting for this recipe, the pies look divine, I use the hot water pastry when I make my pork pie, it's so yummy Thank you, for another amazing recipe Cheryl, :-)
Thank you for your recipie Cheryl. I used it to make six delicious pies tonight to share with two other Scottish ex-pats here in western Canada. You have three committed admirers here. Awesome 👌
The perfect midweek meal. This was one of the the few meals that had to be salt vinegar and tomatoe sauce. Broon wasn't for the beans. Raised across the water in Girvan now living in Thailand. Never knew about water pastry so might be able to give them ago. No sheep but there are plenty goats would do as mutton. Great videos!
I use lamb because it's available.... Love has to have salt vinegar and tomato sauce!! When I made this for my guy he knew to a minimum if something wasn't right. Lost him too last year just glad still talk to his younger bro.
I absolutely loved eating this in Scotland, in 1975!♥️ And THANK YOU for your recipe, with your incredibly comforting voice♥️ 😋😋😋😋
Can’t wait to make these,thank you so much!
Yaaaay I can’t wait to try making these! Thank you sweet Cheryl 💕
And all over England too, Cheryl! I love those pies. I grew up eating the lamb ones as a kid - best thing in the world. I had to add wow much my mouth was watering watching your video. :)
Love these pies after living in Scotland , I will be making , thanks
I bet these would be tasty with a nice gravy too. I have never had a scotch pie, but am sure I would love it. Thanks for another wonderful recipe.
No! Definitely not gravy. Use ketchup...to die for.
@@m.g.n4898 my husband would add ketchup, bbq sauce or steak sauce. I think I would like the gravy better.
Another great recipe and demonstration, Cheryl. I remember when I was a kid growing up in South Africa, my parents trying to recreate Scottish dishes for my sister and I. In those days brisket cost pennies because nobody over there used it in any dishes. I remember my dad showing the local butcher how to tie a rolled brisket with string. He would then bring it home and make scotch broth, serving the meat with boiled potatoes carrots and peas. Yum! My parents also made potted hough, using shin of beef and a pigs trotter for gelatine. You remind me of them ...
You make it look so easy Cheryl...look amazing and thanks for recipe😁
According to my Scottish husband who loves this pie this recipe is “spot on”! Thank you so much for all the tips and the delicious and easy recipe!
Thank you for this beautiful recipe! what beautiful scenery at the end of the video too, WoW!
We love these pies in England too! Thanks for sharing the recipe - can't wait to make them myself!
Wow, what a beautiful gorgeous kitty cat!😍😻🐱🐈😻😍
Hi Cheryl, came across your channel a few weeks ago and i’m so glad i did. Your recipes are brilliant and very well explained. I’m from Scotland but live in Germany so it’s great to see the foods i had growing up. Thanks for sharing 👍💕
Well Cheryl~ enjoyed your happiest greeting and learning new things ~ never made crust like that but u had me at Pie! 😎♥️🥧🤸♂️🌝
I love to hear you talk and every time you say "wee" I smile. Beautiful food!!! ❤
Thank you so much for this and all your videos, I'm from Scotland, been in Australia for quite a long time and I have now made Scotch Pies, they turned out perfect
Fantastic! Thanks so much. They are so good and bring back find memories!
They look brilliant I'm going to try this thanks !
Just a throwaway comment here. (Well, a couple, really)
1. You Tube needs to add a HEART button next to the thumbs up/down. If they ever do, you can count me as the first 'loved it'.
2. I recently contacted GREGGS, the baker people. I told them they need to add Scotch Pies to their menu. I worked in Londons east end for decades. Scotch pies were my brekkie. They said they would consider it at the next meeting! (doesn't mean we'll get them, which will be everybody's loss).
3. It's about bloody time you did this one, Cheryl.
@@terryholdenuk Ahhh! But they USED to! They used to make bread as well. Also, they started off as 'Greggs The Bakers'.
terence holden morrisons in Eastbourne sell them but depends on where you live. Don't know if other Morrison shops sell them
When I was in Edinburgh I bought a macaroni cheese pie at Gregg's. The pastry was similar to a scotch pie but without the lid
Greggs do Scotch pies in Scotland, so it wouldn't be beyond them. Not the best pies but quite satisfying.
The Greggs in Lower Marsh Market, Waterloo used to sell Scotch Pies about 7-8 years ago. They stopped selling them for some reason ???
Thank you for making this video. I'm first generation American. I grew up with visiting my grandparents and them getting these from a Scottish bakery. Unfortunately there are no bakeries like this in northern Idaho where I live, but now I can make my own! Thanks so much!
Love your videos Cheryl! We moved from Scotland to Yorkshire 6 years ago and are always bringing pies, square sausage etc home with us when we visit. Now I can make my own 😋 tonight I made my first macaroni pies and creamy chicken soup from your recipes, turned out fab! Scotch pies next 😊
I so enjoy your videos and the lovely things that you cook for your family. Your voice is so warm and friendly it's as if I'm chatting with a friend overseas. I will surely try some of your recipes. Thank you for sharing with all of us..
They look fab Cheryl. Going to try. Cheers lassie
I just made these today, they came out fabulous. Thank you for the great video and recipe, nice step by step guide. Flavour was really great, been years since I had one and it brought back great memories
Thank you so much from Canada ,,,mmm scotch pies one of my favourite foods ever 💙
I've never tried a scotch pie before, so I'm definitely going to make them, I love this channel!
Love Australia. ❤️
It looks so different to traditional Australian pies but maybe a beef version of a pork pie that we can sometimes find.
@@gnomevoyeur it's nothing like a pork pie, but I can understand why you would think that. 😋😋
I live in Canada, but grew up on these thanks to my Scottish Da. Got sick and tired of them for quite a while, but darn it, I’m back to really enjoying them again. We just don’t have them as often.
@@gnomevoyeur the Aussie pork pie is similar in form and uses the same hot water paste but the taste is completely different. If you asked the butcher/baker to use mutton seasoned with mace, pepper (plenty) and salt, you'd be closer. Although, I've not seen the pastry rolled as thin in Oz when I was back packing, as in Scotland and the North of England. Aussie pies I've tasted in different places are closer to English pies.
Had these for tea tonight.loved them, they transported me back in time to The Tango Cafe in Airdrie, pie chips and beans every Saturday .thanks from an expat ....
Well done. Looks exactly as they should
I’m drooling as I watch!!!! Great explanation!!! Thank you !!
I love Scotch Pies, and will give this recipe a go. I also love the Isle of Arran, been three times! Thank you x x
I’ve just found your channel and I love it. Your voice is so soothing and you remind me of my late Scottish mother in law. Xx. I’m making these pies tomorrow.
A lovely simple recipe that I'm definitely going to try. Thank you.
Such a pleasure discovering your channel,watching you making traditional Scottish pies and heraing you explaining the different steps...and what a wonderful accent ! Difficult at first to understand but watching the video helps. Thank you for sharing .
Beautiful. As a pie lover and an appreciator of great RUclips videos I cannot thank you enough for posting this video. I have only ever eaten poor Scotch pies, I reckon these look amazing! Great!
On the east coast we have always eaten beef in our traditional Scotch pies. Mutton or lamb is very west coast. I can remember my now late great aunt telling me that once, when in Glasgow in the 1950's, she really fancied a Scotch pie. She bought one, took a bite and was disgusted to find it was made with mutton. Needless to say she binned it. As an east coaster I simply couldn't bring myself to associate a mutton filling with a Scotch pie, especially when compared to a proper Dundee peh made with proper minced Angus beef! It's a Scottish regional culinary difference and a very important one.
My ancestry is Dundee and I’d like to do a beef version. I think lamb is too greasy. Is it the same as this, just with the meat switched out?
I love pies made across the UK. Looking forward to trying this one.
I've somehow just seen your two hot water pie videos in a row and you've convinced me -time to try and make some hot water crust!
The scenery is stunning.
That's possibly the easiest to understand version of the recipe I've come across and will try at the weekend! I could listen to your voice all day!
I’m literally drooling. Must try this!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I haven't had Scotch Pie for years and they look amazing
Haven't tasted one since I was a wee lad of four; gonna make one this month!!
I just found this channel. Looks great, love the Scottish accent. My family immigrated to Canada from Scotland 5 generations ago. I wish I was closer.
Great job on your simplistic style, Thank you for this.
I like how you have such easy recipes. X
That pie crust recipe is very intriguing!
I will try these the next time
I'm back in Fraserburgh!
Thank you so much for sharing
this with us 💖
They look fantastic and so easy to make, I am definitely going to try making them
Thank you! These are are loved by this guy in Birmingham. I love Scotland!
This is one of the best things I've ever eaten and I am definitely making this recipe. subbed and belled.
The pies look delicious 😋. Can't wait to try your recipe.
They are also loved by your southern neighbour, Thank you for the fantastic videos, Love from East Anglia, England.
Whats for tea..... thank you very , very much !!! Made them today and they are superb. Exact same taste as a bakers in Scotland. I managed to get all of the ingredients here in Thailand. Been missing these for years. Thank you again , braw
Finally made these tonight!!!
They're definitely worth the time they take!!
My sons and I LOVED them. My husband, the one who grew up eating them, loved the crust, which he was most concerned with, but not crazy about the filling. He's looking for an exact match to the pies he grew up with in Utah, and that's not going to happen. They were made in a factory and full of soy.
Here in the US, lamb and mutton aren't readily available and are pretty expensive when you can find them, so I used half ground beef and half ground pork and had them with homemade chili over them. (Made chili last night just for this 😁)
Again, THANK YOU!!!!! 😘
Thanks for the Scotch pie video. I've not seen them for about 30years. Used to love 'em. Now on the lookout.
This brings back some fine memories, there's no pie like it
Thank You so much for sharing your knowledge, and your time.
Thank you so much.. So easy to make. My fiancé who loves these pies said the flavour was spot on and better than shop bought !
Thank you very much for this, livening in London this is something I miss so much with mash & beans in the top.
I don't have too many opportunities to travel much so the way I like to get a sense of another country is through food.
I just made this. Literally just finished eating it.
This is SO delicious! Never had a pastry like this before!
I can almost FEEL the Scottish wind when I took them out of the oven! (granted, I imagine that it's much cooler there...lol)
Thank you for sharing a little bit of Scotland with us!
Thank you for the recipe. Will give it a try. Looks delicious!
Hi Cheryl. My wife is Scottish & loves these pies. I have brought some pie tins & tomorrow or fri will try your reciepe. Thanks for the video ;-)
Looks so lovely and love the kitty!!
Just made these for my parents. Both scottish. A real taste of home. Absolutely smashing. It is very easy to follow and a lovely scots accent to boot❤
oh my gosh! that pie looks amazing!!
Thank you!! Have been waiting for this one! Will be making them this weekend! 😁😁😁😁
Great to see a recipe that gives a proper pie at last! I grew up on these pies, usually shop bought and you could find them quite easily in shops down in England too where Sainsbury's, M&S and Safeways always had them. Now, its much harder to find them. So, living in London this recipe saves the day! By the way, when I was a kid, we used to stay at mum's friend's in Orkney - the mutton pies at the shops in Kirkwall were often topped with piped mash as well. Haven't seen that for ages. Thanks for a great channel Cheryl.
That was fabulous, can't wait to make
