Pie Crusts

[Russ Filtz]

I only tried a hot water crust once, recipe from an old Joy of Cooking as I recall, the resulting material would have made a suitable replacement for HardiBoard. Could you share your recipe?

Yes, I guess they can be a bit more "stiff", but I actually like a crispy crust vs a "tender/flaky" crust. To me a standard cut-in crust, even when not soggy, still taste/mouthfeel like it.

I used a couple sites while planning, but this one is good. Use REAL lard, not crisco.

Another one with milk vs just water.

Got it! Been wanting to try a serious meat pie after watching a recent Great British Baking Show rerun. Will give this a try.
