List of Ingredients
2 lb. pork cut in small dice
1 and 1/2 lb. flour
1 egg
1 lb. lard
A little milk and water mixed
Salt and pepper to tasteRecipe
Rub half the quantity of lard into the flour with a little salt. Boil
the rest of the lard with the milk and water. When boiling, pour half
over the flour and stir well, then add the egg (beaten well) and pour
over the rest of the liquid. Knead the mixture and leave to stand for a
few minutes. Line a mould or tin, and put in the pork with a little
pepper and salt and a little water. Roll out the rest of the pastry and
cover the top of the pie and decorate the edge. Brush over with a little
egg and bake for 2 hours, starting with a very hot oven and reducing the
heat. Make a stock of the bones and trimmings of the meat until it
jells. Pour into a hole in the centre of the pie with a funnel when
lukewarm. Serve cold.
