Doreen got a question for you!!!!

The recipe for the crust....

Would that be what we call pastry crust....

And like for a "Pot Pie" here in the USA????

Very curious....

Weezie

wEEZIE, we call it suet crust pastry, its a pastry that is steamed rather than baked, think your pot pie may be the same. Do you steam a pot pie?
Doreenx

No to the steaming!!

How do you steam???

Ours is baked in the oven!!!

Weezie

Steaming. You place covered dish We call it a pudding basin into large saucepan, fill with water up to halfway to your dish. Place lid on top. Simmer for this particular recipe for about 4hrs, check water every half hour. If water is low top it up with hot water to half way again, never let the water run dry.
Do you not have steamed spotted dicks either
You dont know what you are missing

Weezie should have said on the hob, not in the oven.

P.S if you try it, it may start a whole new cooking trend.
