If you follow this recipe to the letter you will make the tastiest pork pies you’ve ever known. The only (slight) adjustment I made was to replace the pork mince with home-minced pork loin ( I wanted a more coarse ‘bite’ to the filling) and replace the pancetta with smoked streaky bacon. Thank you Hungry Northerner, for a perfect recipe.

I have now made and enjoyed this recipe several times. It is excellent all round, very authentic to this ex-Brit living in Canada. Subscribed.

Love this recipe mate and will give it a bash. I already make meat n potato pies, chicken and veg pies. Can't beat a proper lard pastry. Thank you for the video - my type of cooking.

Subbed. Back in late 1978, after leaving school in Gainsborough, Lincs. I was a trainee Pork Butcher. They made the best pork pies I've ever tasted. Made Pork Farms taste like crap. We made dozens at a time. The hot paste, we weighed each piece off, rolled into a ball then trayed up, the in the chiller over night. The meat was just pork mixed with a handful of salt, pepper and sage then minced into a stone '14lbs' porrions the next day. God the smell when they were cooked was amazing. The next day, the lads filled up their vans for the markets around West Lindsey Scunthorpe, and Grimsby Market. You could smell the cooked food in the vans all the time. A smell I miss so much that I'm going to have to start making my own pies now... subbed, because I'll be c coming back for the quantities. I only know the bulk measurements hahahaha.

I like the simple step by step video. A couple questions.

1. Is "Strong Flour" called Bread Flour in the US? And is "Plain Flour" called All Purpose Flour in the US?
2. What is the purpose of the gelatin being poured in the top?

What kind of pie tin is that? I'm trying to find it, it looks like a deep vertical muffin tin or something?

[TimTernet]

Brush the rim with water, it helps the lid stick on better.

[harrybond]

Not a bad video, but I have a problem with "smoked pancetta" WTF, it should be diced pork belly/loin/shoulder!

[Ant-dxyt]

The proper way to make this NO DAMN BUTTER!!!... thanks for educating people, sick of all the "traditional" hot water pastry recipes that really are not "traditional".

[philmuskett]

Look very good, mate. Still don't think that herbs have owt to do with pork pies, tho. Salt, pepper, nutmeg, mustard powder, cayenne pepper. Cheers.

Curious Paul Hollywood doesn’t refrigerate??

I am surprised noone has mentioned it before but your description recipe called for 2500ml of water instead of 250ml. I suggest you include a brief description of the method with the ingredients to save readers jumping back and forth.

[jennarose]

It seems like you've added an extra zero onto your water amount. 250 ml seems more like it.
