PUFF PASTRY
225g plain flour
85g lard
85g butter
1 tsp fine salt
150ml iced water
Squeeze of lemon juice
1 egg, for egg wash
Sift 250g strong plain flour and 1 tsp salt into a large bowl.
Roughly break butter and lard into small chunks, add them to the bowl and rub in loosely. You need to see bits of butter and lard.
Make a well in the bowl and pour in about two-thirds of 150ml cold water and a squeeze of lemon.
Mix with your hands until you have a firm rough dough, adding extra water if needed.
Turn out onto a lightly floured board, knead gently and form into a smooth rectangle.
Roll the dough in one direction only, until 3 times the width, about 20 x 50cm.
Keep edges straight and even. Don’t overwork the butter streaks; you should have a marbled effect.
Fold the top third down to the centre, then the bottom third up and over that. Give the dough a quarter turn (to the left or right) and roll out again to three times the length. Seal the edges with the rolling pin prior to each turn.
Fold as before, cover with cling film and chill for at least 20 minutes before rolling to use.
To make the pie.
On a floured surface roll out the pastry.
Place pie dish on top of the pastry and cut around it, leaving extra at the edges.
Assemble the pie by spooning casserole into the pie dish.
Brush egg wash on the edges of the dish so that the pastry will stick to the dish.
Place pastry on top and score round the edges with a fork.
Cut off the excess pastry.
Make a hole in the centre of the pastry.
Brush with egg wash.
Place in the oven at 190 C for approximately 30 minutes, until golden.
Serve with vegetables of choice.
