Mushroom Hot Water Crust Pie

For a well-filled 7-inch pie-dish – or a shallower 8 inch pie dish. I reckon it’d serve 4, maybe 6 folks.

Hot Water Crust

The traditional pastry for Scots Meat Pies, Pork Pies, and Raised Pies (where the pie is baked free-standing – not inside a dish).

Most recipes specify using the traditional fat – lard. I substitute butter and olive oil (hint – cubes of butter into a measuring cup to the ¾ level, and fill the gaps with oil). Neat alternative for vegetarians and Halal baking.
