Football Half Time Tradition
| In the USA there is a tradition of tailgating before a American football game. Well in Scotland the football tradition is having a meat pie and bovril at half time. If you would like to give it a try here is a traditional recipe. If you do not like mutton or lamb it can be done with beef. Mutton Pie
Hot water crust Filling Ingredients : 12 oz lean mutton or lamb; 6 tablespoons meat stock, gravy or water; salt and pepper Make the filling first. Chop the meat finely and season. Set aside. Set oven to 375 deg F or Mark 5. Sieve the flour and salt into a bowl. Boil the lard, water and milk together in a saucepan. Make a well in the flour and pour in the hot mixture: mix well with a knife and knead until smooth. Roll out two thirds of the paste on a floured surface, keeping a third for lids. Cut into 6 circles and press into deep patty tins. Spoon the meat into each tin, moistening each filling with a spoonful of stock, gravy or water. Cut the remaining dough into 6 smaller circles for lids. Brush the edges with water and seal. Make a split in each pie lid to allow steam to escape. Brush with egg yolk. Cook for 30-40 minutes. Serve hot or cold. |
