I haven't had a homemade pie in a long time
I think about a decade ago, mum bought a pie maker from Kmart and taught me how to make a pie with puff pastry and mince. Being very much white bogan ppl from whoop whoop, we only ever had plain mince pies with tomato sauce, but being a more well rounded city slicker who resided in Brunswick for a week, I'd be super keen to experiment with different meats and pies, maybe chop up little bits of steak and put some bacon in like they do in the shops ๐คค
Check out the yt channel of a retired chef, a Yorkshireman, who is very very good at pies - both the pastry and the fillings. He's called The Backyard Chef. Simple easy instructions for doing comfort food. Also uses an airfryer a lot. His Beef Mushroom and Stout pie is a classic.
I do apple and cinnamon caramel pies for desserts and I make a lot of pies with left over curries or chili and they seem to be the best .
Yum, chicken rogan josh pie with lots of curry gravy inside is the best
Omg that sounds so good! Would you mind sharing your recipe? I've decided next week's random hobby is going to be pie baking....
