Pie Base Pastry

September 10, 2025 By Megan Leave a Comment

This pastry is the one I use when I make my Aussie Meat Pies. It’s sturdy enough to hold a lot of filling without falling to bits with the first bite. Yet, it’s still melt in the mouth. I use half butter, half lard because this gives the dough the right texture and strength. If…

While it shares many ingredients with Indian curry, Japanese curry incorporates fruits like mandarin and honey to mellow the spice and add a gentle sweetness. A thick roux is also used, giving the dish a rich texture and a glossy, appealing…
