The filling for these is without a doubt straightforward, with the most effective vital substances. They are meat-free (even though you could lead them to meat) but do characteristic pigs. The hot-water-crust pastry follows very exclusive policies from regular pie – don’t be afraid to deal with it a little extra than you would shortcrust. Serve those with gravy, mash, and greens – or just as picnic pies.
