Steps

1

Preheat the oven to 200°C.
2

Place the cake flour and butter cubes in a mixing bowl and rub together until mixed.
3

Mix the cottage cheese into the flour mixture using an egg lifter until soft dough forms.
4

Press the dough into a rectangle and cover in cling wrap. Refrigerate the dough for approximately 15 minutes.
5

Lightly mix the game meat, salt, pepper, coriander, cloves, hanepoot wine, red wine, lemon juice and apricot jam together. Transfer to an oven-proof dish.
6

Roll out the dough on a floured surface and place on top of the meat mixture.
7

Press the dough firmly against the edge of the dish and place a few decorations on top of the crust, if preferred.
8

Beat the egg yolk and water together and brush over the dough. Prick the crust a few times for the steam to escape. You can also use a pie funnel.
9

Bake the pie for approximately 30 minutes until the crust is golden brown and done.
