Cottage pies | Individual shepherds pies :)

[@afghansoffthehook542]

I've only recently found your channel and really like your videos. I have a question. My husband grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah and up until a few years ago there was a local company that made Scottish meat pies; the guy who started it was originally from Scotland. I've found that no one (American) outside Salt Lake has the slightest idea what I'm talking about. They hear "meat pie" and think "potpie". They had a crust that wasn't puff pastry or phylo, or even a regular pie crust. And it was made of ground meat, but was very well seasoned and not just meat. It had a sort of meatloaf texture, so there was some kind of breadcrumbs and/or other fillers. I've scrolled through your videos and haven't seen anything like it (but it's certainly possible I missed it!). If you have anything like it, I'd love to be able to make him some. We live in Iowa and he hasn't had a meat pie in a decade and I'd love to be able to make him some!

[@WhatsForTea]

Sounds like a SCOTCH pie to me :) They are very popular here....found in all the bakers, cafes, takeaways and supermarkets. The pie crust you're referring to takes weeks to dry out (if you're doing it the right way!) There are short cut versions out there on youtube...but the end result just won't br the same :) x

have you tried Welsh 'Pasties' ?? orRussian Pierogi ? they are also'hand-pies' you can find some places here in the U.States..

[@neilhiley1951]

Nice recipe. Two tips. If you don't want to use cheese as a topping, stir a raw egg yolk into your mash, that way you'll still get a 'crust' on top. Also, if you have any of the meat/veg mixture and mash left over, stir it all together, chill, form it into balls or croquette shapes, egg wash and breadcrumb then fry. Fantastic with ketchup!

Love watching your channel, an inspiration, we have the grandchildren over for dinner every Wednesday, cooked some of your recipes and they love um 😋 thanks

[@faze_buendia9514]

these look amazing! I'm making them for dinner tonight and am so excited!! I don't know why these types of handheld savory pies aren't as popular in the U.S., but they should be! We have what we call 'pot pies' which are small meat pies w/ veggies & gravy but they aren't a hugely popular staple; nor are they considered a handheld food; plates and silverware are a must because they have the gravy inside, no jelly that firms up and keeps from dripping. On the occasion that someone is craving a chicken or beef pot pie, ppl just buy the frozen ones at the store, it's one of those things that we don't think to make at home. I live in a very cold place in the U.S. and so have an appreciation for warm hearty comfort foods.

[@CardsbyMaaike]

the salt in after boiling is an urban legend, what makes a difference is the elevation above sea level, th higer up you are, the quicker water will boil, even at 70C is you're really high up as the air pressure is less and water boils when the water makes it to the same pressure around it, so on a mountain it'll be quicker than at the beach, you wee peis looks fab, I made a big one the other day, so good

[@shelleycarefoot2]

I was told it could ruin your pots with the salt sitting on the bottom." Salting water in a stainless steel pot before it comes to a boil can result in pitting, which is a form of rusting. "

[@2terribletoads631]

[@junebenson01]

Looks fab Cheryl, as always :) Just a little tip that I've been using for years. your OXO cubes are a bit messy when you crumble them in your fingers so I always do them in the foil, just squash them down in the foil and crumble them, careful not to break the foil til that's done then tear off one corner and you can just pour the crumbs into whatever you're cooking. No more messy fingers :)

[@sharonholdren7588]

Made your beef pie featured last week with pie crust bottom and puff pastry top. I had been undecided what to do with a 1/2# of waygu beef and your instruction to use the best beef you can afford decided me. I ended up with three perfect sized single servings that were delicious. At the grocer day before yesterday I bought a bottle of merlot for the next time. Today I diced up the left over lamb roast for a planned Shepherd's pie, and your newest recipe will my next.

[@chrisunderwood2524]

Our shepherd's consisted on left overs all through the week, that accumulated in the fridge, we usually had this for lunch on Sunday after church..it was topped with fresh home made mashed potatoes and just before it was Browning. We topped with sharp cheddar cheese. ..this was a great lunch..then supper was usually a standing rib roast. With carrots, potatoes, onions, and turnips...

[@suej9329]

Chris Underwood I agree 💯. Most people from British countries understand the difference between the two pies. My mother and grandmother made their shepherds pies from minced, cold, roast lamb. Cottage pies were always made with minced beef.

[@suej9329]

Chris Underwood Yes, that was also my experience growing up. Roast lamb on Sunday after church, followed by Shepherds pie from the left over meat on Monday night.

Those are beautiful! I just made and canned a big batch of shepherds' pie mix the other day. Two of the jars didn't seal so that is what I had for breakfast (YUM). I use Gordon Ramsey's recipe but use parmesano reggiano cheese and jersey sweet potatoes. My favorite meat mix is half beef/half lamb but my latest batch I tried ground Angus tri-tip and sweet italian turkey sausage. I've never tried putting it in pastry but it looks really tasty.
