I have now made and enjoyed this recipe several times. It is excellent all round, very authentic to this ex-Brit living in Canada. Subscribed.

[@TheHungryNortherner]

Really glad you've made these. I try and make it simple and easy, which can detract from some of the traditional elements, but still try and make it work. As an ex-pat if there is anything you want to see been made let me know. Thank you 👍

[@AndrewsSimplecooking]

Hi I have to admit your Pork Pie recipe is by far the best I have seen on here looks amazing and a recipe I will definitely be making , new friend and subscriber here have a good weekend

[@TheHungryNortherner]

Thank you, please share it far and wide, it's massively appreciated 👍

[@dekemartin]

If you follow this recipe to the letter you will make the tastiest pork pies you’ve ever known. The only (slight) adjustment I made was to replace the pork mince with home-minced pork loin ( I wanted a more coarse ‘bite’ to the filling) and replace the pancetta with smoked streaky bacon. Thank you Hungry Northerner, for a perfect recipe.

The proper way to make this NO DAMN BUTTER!!!... thanks for educating people, sick of all the "traditional" hot water pastry recipes that really are not "traditional".

[@TheHungryNortherner]

Exactly, I've tried butter but it's not the same. Glad you enjoyed the video, thank you for taking the time to comment, your support is appreciated. If there is anything you want to see a video fir just let me know 👍

[@buddyboy4x44]

I make pork pies with lard, then tried a batch with half butter. That batch had a different flavour, not traditional. I did not repeat the variation.

[@Estherredstar]

like broth Jello.

[@barrieeliasson3585]

Where’d you get the pie tin?

[@markwaring4975]

Should be good with mushy peas..

[@TheHungryNortherner]

Definitely

[@philmuskett265]

Look very good, mate. Still don't think that herbs have owt to do with pork pies, tho. Salt, pepper, nutmeg, mustard powder, cayenne pepper. Cheers.

[@TheHungryNortherner]

I know what you mean, I've found dozens of recipes with herbs and dozens without, I like the back notes it gives.

[@buddyboy4x44]

I am surprised noone has mentioned it before but your description recipe called for 2500ml of water instead of 250ml. I suggest you include a brief description of the method with the ingredients to save readers jumping back and forth.

[@giuseppevinnie885]

Wish I had read your comment first before trying 😖

[@harrybond007]

2500ml of water ouch!, will not end well

[@TheHungryNortherner]

Sorry its been changed now, although it did say 250ml in the video. Apologies if it created a disaster

[@TheHungryNortherner]

I've corrected that now 👍

[@MartinSmith-qt3cc]

Curious Paul Hollywood doesn’t refrigerate??

[@TheHungryNortherner]

Each to their own, I just find it easier to work with, I've tried both ways and prefer chilling it, I also find it bakes better

[@harrybond007]

Not a bad video, but I have a problem with "smoked pancetta" WTF, it should be diced pork belly/loin/shoulder!

[@TheHungryNortherner]

😂😂😂traditional yes, and I agree, but I do find it does give it extra flavour which people seem to like. I used pork mince to make it easier for people. I prefer to mince my own pork belly and shoulder, but not everyone has the time or tools to do this. 👍

[@jennarose3088]

It seems like you've added an extra zero onto your water amount. 250 ml seems more like it.

[@TheHungryNortherner]

Thank you, I've changed it now ❤

[@TheHungryNortherner]

Thank you, I've changed it now ❤

Why such annoying music

[@TheHungryNortherner]

I know, it's hard trying to get music without getting hit with copyright infringements. It's either that or you listen to my Yorkshire accent 😅😅😅
