List of Ingredients
1lb flour
8oz lard
4oz macaroni
a little thickened stock from the cooking of the meat
11/2lb of any cooked meat leftovers
3 hardboiled eggs
salt to taste
Recipe
Mince the meat and add the stock. Add the cooked macaroni to the meat. Cut the eggs into quarters. Put the flour into a large mixing bowl and chop the fat into it. Rub fat into the flour until its texture resembles that of breadcrumbs. Add enough cold water to form mixture into a paste. Roll out pastry and line a well greased pie dish with half of it. Place half of the meat into the pie dish. Place eggs on top of meat and then put the other half of the meat on top of the eggs. Make a lid for the pie with the rest of the pastry. If you have any pastry left over cut it into fancy shapes like leaves or flowers. Make a hole in the middle of the pie (to allow the steam to escape). Bake in a hot oven for 30 minutes.
