Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Pork     Pork Tenderloin Recipes

Time 2h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

¾ cup lard
1 cup boiling water
5 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
2 pounds ground pork sausage
½ pound ground pork
½ pound lean pork tenderloin, sliced into small pieces
1 onion, finely chopped
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon mixed herbs
1 pinch medium curry powder, or to taste
1 pound smoked streaky bacon
2 tablespoons milk, or as needed

Steps:

  • Heat lard in a large microwave-safe bowl until melted, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir in boiling water.
  • Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in lard mixture. Mix with a wooden spoon until a smooth, slightly sticky ball of dough forms.
  • Dust a flat work surface with flour and knead dough for 2 minutes. Roll out 3/4 of the dough into a 1/3-inch thick circle. Press over the bottom and all the way up the sides of a 10-inch springform pan. Roll out remaining dough into a 1/3-inch thick circle for the top of the pie.
  • Freeze pie crust base and top until firm, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine ground sausage, ground pork, pork tenderloin, onion, parsley, pepper, thyme, mixed herbs, and curry powder in a large bowl. Mix into a paste.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Line the bottom and sides of the pastry crust with streaky bacon. Press in 1/2 of the pork mixture. Cover with 3 to 4 slices of streaky bacon. Press in remaining pork mixture; arrange remaining streaky bacon on top. Brush pastry rim with milk and add the top crust. Pinch the edges together to seal. Brush the top with milk and cut 2 slits in the top of the pie.
  • Bake pie in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), about 1 hour more.
  • Cool pie completely before removing from the pan.

HOT WATER PIE CRUST



Hot Water Pie Crust image

My Mom had a very, very old Hamilton Beach Mixer that came with a recipe book. In it was this pie crust recipe, I have tried the ice water crusts and found they aren't as easy to work with and don't come out as flaky.

Provided by Tamla Powers

Categories     Pies

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 c flour
1/2 c shortening
1 tsp salt
1/4 c boiling water

Steps:

  • 1. Mix together flour, shortening, salt with a fork, or pastry blender until mixture resembles the size of small peas
  • 2. Bring water to a boil and add to mixture. Stir to incorporate.
  • 3. Turn out onto lightly floured surface and roll into a 12" circle.
  • 4. Roll dough onto rolling pin and then roll out onto pie plate. Bake as directed.

Tips:

  • To make sure your pie crust is flaky, use cold butter and ice water. Grate the butter into the flour mixture, then use your fingers to work it in until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • When rolling out the dough, do so on a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough from the center outward, rotating it as you go to ensure an even thickness.
  • Before filling the pie crust, pre-bake it for 10-15 minutes. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • When filling the pie, use a thickener such as cornstarch or flour to help prevent the filling from becoming too runny.
  • If you are using a fruit filling, macerate the fruit with sugar for at least 30 minutes before filling the pie. This will help to draw out the juices and make the filling more flavorful.
  • Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15-20 minutes, then reduce the temperature to finish baking. This will help to create a golden brown crust.
  • Let the pie cool completely before slicing and serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Water pie is a classic dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a simple recipe to make, and it can be easily customized to suit your own taste preferences. With a little planning and effort, you can create a delicious water pie that will be the star of any dessert table. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give water pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
