To begin our journey towards pie perfection, let's gather our ingredients:
Pie Crust : The foundation of every great pie starts with a buttery, flaky crust.
Filling : Whether you prefer meat, vegetables, or a combination of both, your filling should be flavorful and cooked to perfection.
Seasonings : Don't be afraid to get creative with your seasonings to elevate the taste of your pie.
Toppings : A pie is not complete without a golden-brown crust topping that adds texture and visual appeal.
Now that we have our ingredients ready, let's dive into the practical method of making the perfect savoury pie:
Prepare Your Crust : Roll out your pie crust and line your pie dish, ensuring there are no cracks or tears.
Create Your Filling : Sautee your choice of meat and vegetables with aromatic seasonings until tender and fragrant.
Fill Your Pie : Spoon your filling into the pie crust, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients.
Top It Off : Add the top layer of crust, seal the edges, and make a few slits to allow steam to escape during baking.
Bake to Perfection : Pop your pie into the oven and bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
