I shouldn't watch this at 1am..im bloody starving now

[@Obsidian_Iris_]

Pro tip: if you make your own shortcrust pastry, when you add the pie weights fill it *to the rim* to prevent the crust from shrinking. Even filling it only halfway may still result in a shrunken crust with short sides. Thanks for the pot pie recipe!

[@WhatsForTea]

Ah thank you 😊 🙏🏻

[@LindaC616]

Good tip!

[@janicewalker477]

Never thought of that.

[@rottierumbles9451]

If you do make your own pastry make it a lot bigger than you need and DO NOT press it into the sides, that is what causes the shrinkage, you can make sure it is into the sides of the pan , but don't stretch it, if you stretch it to fit , it'll shrink.

[@zehrarizvi9065]

I love the shortcrust pastry idea. Thank you.

Oh wow, 40C is hot! It's not reached that in Sioux Falls at all this summer, so far. Let us know how it turned out.

That’s what I thought too! I’d love to make this mouthwatering recipe, 🌸😋we love it but these days are scorching 🥵 hot (to be precise Saharan heat wave is coming with 40+ C!) in south Spain, I don’t want to make the house hotter by turning the oven on.

You could have poached your chicken breasts in the chicken stock that you bought. It would have added to the flavour of both the chicken and the stock.

I cheat, I make the filling in a pot. Then I score the puff pastry into diamonds and bake separately. Slice and put on top of filling on the plate. Good if you want the pie with less work/time. You can make the filling while the pastry is cooking so it all comes together in no time.

[@schizoozy]

I made this wonderful filling but topped it with my country biscuits and no bottom crust. It was delicious. TY

[@stefankaz53]

Cheryl, great videos. Just an observation. That chopping board looks like it's made from a soft wood, a harder wood board would be a safer option, as it has a tighter grain, to resist being impregnated by bacteria. If you look it up, it may give you an idea as to what type to use. All the best.

I have never blind baked a pastry base for a pie.

[@WhatsForTea]

I do when the filling is this wet 🙃👍 I wouldn’t for an apple pie or a pie with a drier filling. It just prevents a soggy base. Thanks for watching

[@alyswilliams9571]

@@WhatsForTea When I make a meat pie or any other pie I put a heavy duty tray that is big enough to take the pie tin on the floor of the oven to heat up and cook my pie on that. It works really well and it saves a step by cutting out the blind bake stage. I have been cooking for over fifty years and have made a LOT of pies over the years. I do the same for quiches. I really enjoy your channel though, I only found it recently but I am always interested to see what ordinary people and families eat and also what they buy to feed themselves. I am very much a 'don't buy if I can make it' person and always have been. You have such a lovely accent and voice. The traditional Scottish dishes you make are the ones that appeal to me the most.

Lovely recipe, except when it comes to poaching the chicken, I have it cut smaller in the first place, and drop it into the hot stock. Then cool, leave the chicken in the stock... I find it tastier and moister. Then follow all the other steps. Lovely.

@@LindaC616 yes, very true. I suppose it would take a bit of experimentation, which I don't mind :)

@@AmoCultumAlo I am looking for a house because the place I am living was sold. So I have to be out by October 1st, but have nowhere to go. One of the conditions of finding a place was that I couldn't have a galley kitchen. The agent sent me a listing that said it was a galley kitchen. But I thought it looked a tiny bit bigger. When I saw it today, I said, "I can roll out bread dough and pie dough and make cookies here!!"😄 I haven't done much of that in 10 years because because I have no counter space in my current kitchen

@@LindaC616 Thank you, Linda. Unfortunately no - ours was a small family but I’m confident Cheryl’s recipe is as close as I’ll get. I know my mum used to poach the chicken in her slow cooker, everything else seems the same. Having said that I don’t think she had a pastry base, so it was just a lidded version.

[@LindaC616]

@@AKBrechin ah, what a shame! My mom passed over 20 years ago, but between the niece (who's more like a little sister) and some cousins, we can track down most things. I remember when I was in grad school, I tried to replicate my mom's beef and noodles, since I had helped her make the noodles as a young child. Unfortunately, I forgot the step where you unroll them and dry them, so I got a gluey mess!

[@LindaC616]

I'm going to try this as soon as I have counter space! Might throw in a bit of onion or a shallot

[@juliameyer10313]

I love those recipies. Even if I won't really remake it like that (I'd change for a meat substitute or just use many more vegetables) but where I'm from, savory pies are very much not a thing so I don't get any in stores or anywhere else. I for one am a big fan of schottish dishes so these videos give me a chance to see how it's supposed to be. Because it's (IMO) much easier to cook by a video recipe than a written one, especially if the dishes are foreign to oneself. So yeah thank you

[@jamesgoacher1606]

As usual. Thanks. I have only had a Chicken and Mushroom Pie once (chip shop type pie or similar) didn't like it and have avoided them ever since. However your filling looks wonderful so it shall be done. I try to make individual ones to freeze but I think I will make it as is and then think about some freezer saved ones based on the result. Had success in the past with beefy ones, maybe yours, unsure. Yes - they were yours because we have the same little pie tins. I rarely follow the recipe exactly because of practical (not got it) reasons but a close try. I made the Quorn Cottage Pie thing recently for instance. Realised I did not have enough potatoes so it got frozen in portions and has been used as a Pasta topping. Its OK and that excersise will be repeated, - when I remember the potatoes. :-)

[@calumanderson5617]

Lovely Chery 😋 l!! Wished you do a chicken and gravy pie with roast potatoes and extra carrots and long beans !!!! 🤤👍

[@LindaC616]

Sounds good, too

[@DavidBriggsAdventures]

For what it's worth, no foil is needed if you use clean tumbled natural stone. I use tumbled agates. Quite posh, but totally works and saves on the foil for the Sunday Roast. These sorts of pies can be made and frozen. Simply prep up to the point of baking (in the tin) and rapidly cool in the freezer till dead cold but nit frozen. Wrap in reusable large zip bags then freeze hard for 3 days before stacking. Will keep for 1 year in the freezer.;)

[@richardgee8505]

Just started cooking at 54. This was so easy and delicious. Your recipes are fantastic

[@chriswale]

Great pie, look forward to trying your recipe!! Makes no difference what side of foil you use, one side is only shiny because how it comes off the rollers in the manufacturing process. Total old wives tale that one side is better than the other. Only if using non-stick foil then best use the dull side as this is what has the non-stick on it.

Hi there, if it hasn’t been mentioned already…the shiny side of the tin foil reflects the heat. Using the dull side up encourages good heat of what it covers. Thank you for your tea time meals. Love the scenery clips you often add, beautiful 🤩

[@cathystewart8599]

Thank you for a tip I heard years ago and sadly forgotten.

[@chriswale]

Alas that is an old wives tale. One side is shiny purely from how the foil is milled in the manufacturing process. Both sides are just as effective as each other and neither has a benefit over the other.

I made this for dinner tonight. I used chicken thighs on the bone and poached them in a roasting tin full of stock-type veg, herbs and water, in the oven (covered with foil), then shredded the meat the same. I used the strained liquid from the cooking as the stock and added the rest of the white wine I had from a miniature bottle to the sauce, as it was reducing. (I used a drop less cream to make up for the extra wine.) Absolutely amazing pie! I even had 4 extra portions of homemade stock for the freezer doing it that way. Thanks for the recipe!
