17 May at 1030 (London time).
Free cook-along as we celebrate World Baking Day on 17 May.
We will be making the simplest and most forgiving hot water pastry and producing wonderful melt-in-the mouth pork pies.
Virtually no skill or experience required but you will need:
100ml water.
90g lard.
200g plain flour.
50g strong white bread flour.
Flat teaspoon ground mace (optional).
Flat teaspoon salt.
50g butter.
Filling:
About 300g sausage meat.
Ground black pepper.
Fresh thyme leaves.
1 lemon, zest only.
A metal or silicon bun tin or individual foil cases with 1-inch sides, a plate, a bowl, saucepan, wooden spoon. Oven set to 200C, Gas 6.
(some people are going to use Trex, or all butter rather than the lard and pre-cooked vegetables can be used in place of the sausage meat)
