Real Pies!
Simon:
I'm just off out, Gill, but it might be worth trying Lakeland if you haven't already.

--- Quote ---Pie-making seems to be a skill which so many households have lost these days. It's only since I've had my kitchen re-furbished that I've started trying to make my own, and I've got to say I need much more practice to get pie pastry right!

Mrs Clive who makes exceedingly good pastry always claims the secret is having cold hands. I suppose a warm handed cook could run their hands under the cold water tap for a few minutes. :laugh:
GillE:
I'm afraid Lakeland can't help, Simon.
Actually, I'm pretty good with pastry - it's just that I haven't got much experience making individual pies. My hands are definitely on the warm side which is why I usually make pastry in a food processor. For me, the skill is in knowing when to stop processing ;D . If you run the machine only a few seconds longer than it needs, the pastry becomes over-worked.
Simon:
I know how it feels.
Rik:
:laugh:
Might be worth a look on QVC, Gill, they do a lot of silicon bakeware.
