Pork pie

Melton Mowbray Pork Pie - official name Britain's most famous classic mince pie. Melton Mowbray is a town in Leicestershire where this famous pie was invented. Already in late XVIII century Melton-Mowbray pies became especially popular among fox hunters. Now the official name (as well as traditional recipe pie) are protected by the European Protected Designation Act. And only products manufactured in a certain area around the city of Melton Mowbray have the right to it.

To prepare a pie with a diameter of 15 cm you will need:

filling:

  • 500 g pork shoulder or loin without skin, cut into 1 cm cubes
  • 400 ml brine
  • 100 g minced pork belly or minced pork
  • 100g smoked bacon, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp. l. fresh sage, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp. l. fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp. no top (or less) freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp. ground cloves
  • ½ tsp. ground nutmeg (or nutmeg)
  • ½ tsp. salt

dough:

  • 25 g butter, cut into cubes + for greasing the pan
  • 75 g rendered lard (lard)
  • 100 ml water
  • 225 g sifted flour
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 egg + 1 egg for brushing the pie

sauce:

  • 125 ml cider
  • 125 ml pork broth
  • 6 g leaf gelatin

Place the pork cubes in a bowl and cover with brine. Mix thoroughly and refrigerate for 30 minutes to marinate the meat properly. Then rinse it in cold running water and dry on a kitchen towel. To prepare the dough, place in a small saucepan butter and lard, pour in water. Heat until the butter and lard have melted, but do not bring to a boil. Combine flour and salt in a bowl, add egg and mix. Pour in the melted butter and lard and knead the dough. If there is not enough flour, add a little more so that the dough is smooth and does not stick to your hands. Wrap it in cling film and refrigerate for 1 hour. In a large bowl, combine rinsed and dried pork cubes, ground meat or ground meat, bacon, herbs, spices and salt. Mix everything thoroughly and set aside for a while. Preheat oven to 180°C. Generously butter a 15cm baking dish with a removable bottom. Take the dough out of the refrigerator and cut a quarter of it - from this piece we will make the top of the pie. Roll out a larger piece of dough on a floured surface into a circle 25 cm in diameter and 5-8 mm thick. Place the cake on the bottom of the baking pan, gently press the dough into the bottom and sides of the pan, leaving any excess around the edges. Place the filling in the pan, pressing the meat tightly. Roll out the reserved quarter of the dough into a flat cake and place it in the center of the pie on top of the filling. Moisten the free edges of the dough with water, bring them together with the edges of the cake and press the seams using the tines of a fork. Make a small hole in the center to allow steam to escape. Place the pie in the oven and bake for 25 minutes at 180°C. Then reduce the temperature to 160°C and bake for another 45 minutes. Remove the cake from the oven and remove from the pan. Using a pastry brush, brush it all over raw egg and return to the oven for another 20 minutes - the crust should be golden. Cool the finished pie on a baking rack. Combine the cider and pork stock in a small saucepan, bring to a boil over medium heat, allow half of the liquid to simmer, then remove from heat. Soak the gelatin sheets in a small amount cold water for 3 minutes, whisk until smooth, add to the mixture of cider and pork broth and mix thoroughly - the sauce is ready. Pour the cooled sauce into the hole of the pie and put it in the refrigerator for half an hour. Make sure the pie is at room temperature before serving. Offer it with mustard and pickled cucumbers.

  3. Add some of the flour and mix. Make sure that there are no lumps left.
  4. Add soda, first extinguishing it with vinegar.
  5. Add the remaining flour and make the final kneading. The mass should become elastic and practically not stick to your hands.

Dough for fried pies on water

For fried pies, it is good to make dough using dry yeast. Even without soda and eggs, it will be fluffy and elastic at the same time. And the pies themselves turn out soft and airy after baking.

This test includes:

  • 0.3 l of water;
  • 10 g salt;
  • 50 g sugar;
  • 450 g flour;
  • 8 g dry yeast;
  • 65-70 g vegetable oil.

Even a novice cook can prepare a semi-finished product. To do this you need:

  1. Dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water, adding 60 g of flour.
  2. Place this mixture in a warm place for literally 15 minutes. She must start “working”.
  3. Add salt and all the oil to the yeast.
  4. Add flour in portions. Continue mixing until the dough stops sticking to the dishes and hands.
  5. You should get a homogeneous elastic mass, which must be put back in a warm place for another 15 minutes.

Now the dough is ready to work. All that remains is to divide it into parts, and then roll out each one and fill it with filling. To make the pies more fluffy, it is better to fry them not in a frying pan, but in a saucepan with a thick bottom.

On mineral water

The dough for pies on water will be even more fluffy if you use mineral water as a liquid base. Moreover, it should also be carbonated.

To prepare this semi-finished product you will need:

  • 0.55 l of mineral water;
  • white of one egg;
  • 17 g dry yeast;
  • 1 kg flour;
  • 30 ml of any vegetable oil.

This dough is prepared in two steps:

  1. First of all, you need to pour mineral water into the flour. After this, immediately add oil and yeast. Mix the ingredients thoroughly.
  2. Add egg white. Repeat mixing, and then place the resulting mass in a warm place for 30-60 minutes to mature.

As soon as the dough has approximately doubled in volume, you can immediately begin rolling it out and begin sculpting the pieces. Such a semi-finished product has one interesting feature. The fact is that pies made from it do not go stale for a long time, remaining soft and fluffy.

Some people prefer pies that are baked in the oven. This heat treatment option is more to the liking of supporters of a healthy diet.

  • 260 g flour;
  • 5 g fine salt;
  • 1 egg;
  • 5 g baking powder;
