[@DarrellPearce]

I’m from Lancashire in the 60s mom made the pastry put on a plate then sliced cheese then sliced onions then cheese then onion and then put on the pastry top and into the coal fired oven and no boiling the onions just in the pie as you have sliced them place sliced cheese on that was a cheese and onion pie in the 60s it was quick and simple tast good to we had that and baked beans if we ware lucky dad would take it for lunch for work simple no fuss

[@juliechristophe9847]

Thank you so much for this It looks delicious

[@Sooz3112]

Looks delicious. I'm from Yorkshire but I now live in Lancashire and it's great to see videos showing the recipes which have been in both of our families for generations x

[@paigeturnerthepubgrubveget2269]

Thank you for that and you won't be disappointed with the taste! Just like my father used to make - he was from Accrington Lancs

[@Sooz3112]

@@paigeturnerthepubgrubveget2269 Aw that's great. Family recipes are always the best. I've seen the milk, cheese and egg recipe of yours - my Grandma in Yorkshire - she used to make a similar dish...it was always delicious! x

[@constancehutchison1358]

My mother would cook down the onions in a little water then mix in grated cheddar to melt it before putting it into her home made pastry, no potato at all. It was flavoured with salt, pepper and a little mystard powder, Colmans mustard. We loved it.

[@paigeturnerthepubgrubveget2269]

Sounds good!

[@natalieriches2363]

Well done looks yummy 😋

[@sambucca1817]

Brings back fab memories. Looks easy to make and delicious. Thanks for the vid!

[@biancalawrence3178]

I sat through all that and didn't even get to see what a slice looked like.It looked so delicious but now I'll never know!

[@michw3755]

I appreciate that they're probably having it for their tea that night, but it really annoys me that we don't get to see how the filling looks once cooked😕👍

[@Womanwithblackdog]

I have made the butter pie version which is the same only it omits the cheese. It looks much like an apple pie and tastes heavenly!

[@lynneosborne5200]

Would have been nice to see it cut, looked a lot of onions .

[@hellix101]

My Aunty Liz from Blackpool used to make these for us and would bring them to scotland every christmas for us, been trying to find out just how she made them, only thing she did different was she cooked her onions slowly so they turned sweet. Many thanks .

Can't beat a nice cheese & onion pie with chips and beans : )

[@richardcrighton8079]

bloody right mate

[@beachman8106]

You forgot to show us a slice of the pie. Did the cheese and onion layers stay separate or did they amalgamate? Either way it looks delicious. 👍👍

[@mrLoftladder]

omg, proper cheese and onion pie like my gran used to make. the memories have got my mouth watering

[@Sansash01202]

Bet your gran made her own pastry ..nobody seems to know how to do it now

[@mrLoftladder]

@@Sansash01202 l ol, too true. in her day it was the only way you got pastry also my grandfather was a baker. lucky me, my wife is also a (retired) chef so i get lots of homemade food still.

[@parveenaktar6767]

Straight to the point unlike some video

[@tuxedocat3020]

This is the way I do it. I always make everything myself apart from pastry. Sack that lol.

[@lindajames7083]

Hi, always keep the paper cos it can be used for future baking 👍👍👍

[@hal4192]

I'll be making this in the next few days. Best wishes and thanks from East Yorkshire. The forked edge brought back wonderful memories of my Nana baking in the 1960s / 70s.. in a house with no running water. ( In Wetwang).

Lovely plain speaking lady. Takes me back to school days before quiche.

[@paigeturnerthepubgrubveget2269]

;)

[@wintertexan7980]

I mix my grated cheddar with the onions while they are still hot (then cheese melts and is distributed evenly throughly in the onions).

[@paigeturnerthepubgrubveget2269]

Good idea! 😀

[@Littlemissperfectstacey]

What i do is fry the onions with butter salt pepper mixed herbs 🌿 add some flour and milk so its a thick sloppy consistency add my soft potatoes and cheese mix throughly then thats your filling it tastes really nice much more to it than plain cheese and onion pie but i did used to make it thus way i do find its much better the other way though love stacey x

[@lillianlloyd8314]

Less onion more cheese 🧀

Well done it looks fabulous, l don't like the potato one's they are always disappointing and you can't taste the cheese and onions. I intend to make one this week thank you.

[@paigeturnerthepubgrubveget2269]

Great let me know how it goes!

[@robertgoh7420]

Can you just sliced instead of chopped onions or would it make a difference?

[@paigeturnerthepubgrubveget2269]

Chopped blends in better

[@shaunportlock4924]

Thank you.

[@juliespark4393]

could you use milk instead of water and if you did would it make a better cheese sauce in the pie

[@paigeturnerthepubgrubveget2269]

no i wouldn't the water is to make it moist so you don't need a sauce - it would change the flavour.

[@latehare111]

Brilliant. Thankyou!

[@paigeturnerthepubgrubveget2269]

You're welcome!

[@laurag2112]

Can we use this recipe to make cheese and onions rolls?

[@paigeturnerthepubgrubveget2269]

Well you would use puff pastry rather than shortcrust and probably not as much water in - maybe just a little water rather than the full amount. Possibly a teaspoon or less. Try it out and let me know!!

Thanks Thomas, Think its Yorkshire that put spuds in it. It's either a cheese and onion pie or a butter pie not a mix!

@ Well you are correct to much of this lardy dar cooking.My mum used a milk bottle for rolling her pastry.If you could let me know cheese to onion ratio or near as that would be great.Did 2 small tin foil 1s yesterday and they were lovely even though i forgot the water.Onward & upwards & no spuds 😂😂😂😂😂👍

[@paigeturnerthepubgrubveget2269]

@@thomaspickles8178 Would that be the milk bottles that were left by the milkman on the doorstep? My dad did the same! Will just weigh roughly my onions hang on - possibly 650g onions to 250g cheese. When you make something just on the off chance write down your quantities at the time because you could end up with the perfect ratio!!
