Instructions to make Homity Pie:
- Rub the fat into the flour until you have breadcrumbs. Add the salt, pepper and water and mix into a smooth dough. Wrap in cling film and set aside and n the fridge for about 30min
- Chop the onions, leek and garlic and gentle fry in some oil until the onions are brown and caramelised. Leaving the lid on the pan helps with this.
- Peel and dice the potatoes into chunks and boil until tender in salted water. Drain and add to the fried onions with the butter and the milk. Add half the parsley and a handful of cheese and mix.
- Roll out the pastry to fit a greased 8" deep pie tin, and lay it in, folding over the edges to prevent shrinking. Bake blind with a painting of whisked egg on the inside to prevent the soggy bottom! 5min at 200-220°C - Some pastry should remain for the lid.
- Take the pastry lined tin and fill with the potato mix. Spread the remaining cheese and parsley on top. Then with the remaining pastry, roll out to a disk that covers the top on the tin. With the remaining egg, wet the edge of the pie, and then lay the pastry disk on top, pressing into place. Apply the egg over the top of the disk.
- Bake at 200°C for 25 min until golden brown. Once removed, trip the pastry edges for neatness and allow to cool. Cut and eat cold.
