Fish pie
For that unbelievable pie dough (flaky, crunchy yet soft and succulent) that would make you scream for joy? Yes! The secret is vinegar and egg yolk. The vinegar acidity helps in breaking down some of the gluten chain to prevent a tough dough and the egg makes the dough more malleable.
Try your best for the dough to be cool from start to finish (very important).
Mix vinegar and egg yolk together and set aside in the fridge.
If possible refrigerate flour ahead of time to be cool.( I keep flour in the fridge so it was cool already).
Your margarine should be frozen as well and diced into little cubes.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Pour your flour in a deep bowl and mix with salt.
- 2
Using a shortening mixer, mix in the margarine into the flour until you get a flaky mix (its okay if you see little parts of unmixed margarine. In fact thats what gives the pie a flaky texture as the very little bits of margarine burst while baking) do not use hands to mix
- 3
Add the vinegar and egg mix and mix in using a FORK (not your hands)
- 4
Add the ice cold water bit by bit while mixing with the fork. Until you see the mixture coming together. Use your fingers to check as you mix to avoid adding too much water and end up with a soggy dough. The dough should be soft and moldable not a strong mold. If you are going to be using any arm force to roll out the dough, then its too hard.
- 5
Quickly move mixture to a work table or slab and mold very fast with your hands to ensure the warmth of your hands does not warm the dough. It must remain cold.( you don't need much molding at this stage
(Wrap the dough in clingfilm and place in the fridge to chill for 20mins.
- 6
Remove dough from fridge after 20mins and roll out with a rolling pin once (the dough does not need to be overworked) then wrap and return back to fridge for 5mins to cool. After 5mins remove from fridge and use a rolling pin to roll out the dough and start your cutting. Cut to little squares, add filling at one end and rollup. Then deep a pastry brush into a whisked egg and seal the ends
- 7
For the filling, use little olive oil to fry the shredded vegetables for 3 minutes then add the deboned shredded fish. Add little seasoning and salt. Then add curry powder and stir fry for 4 minutes
- 8
Note: the filling must be completely cold and not hot or warm when adding to the dough.
Do not over season the filling as the pie show the slightest of over seasoning - 9
Use a fork to poke the top of the pie and brush on whisked egg(egg wash) and bake at 180degrees for 40-45mins

Pie Crust - Pâte Brisée Pie Crust - Pâte Brisée
The most basic pastry dough of them all. It can be used for sweet pies, like apple pie, as well as for savory dishes like quiches. Brisée in French means 'broken' and refers to the broken pieces of fat in the pie crust. It usually calls for twice as much flour as fat by weight. In addition, it uses cold water (no egg) as binding agent and has a delicate and flaky texture.Source: veenaazmanov.com

Apple Pie Apple Pie
Try it and you won’t forget me! The crust pairs perfectly with the filling, making for a delicious treat.Tips:Use firm, crisp apples.If you want a more golden top, brush the pie with a little milk or beaten egg before baking. You can also brush it with a powdered sugar glaze right after baking and let it cool that way.Sometimes the pie releases juices while baking, which may drip into your oven. Place a baking sheet underneath just in case. Also, make sure to poke plenty of holes in the top crust.Instead of poking holes, you can cut a shape in the center with a cookie cutter or make a lattice top. As mentioned above, the holes are important to prevent the pie from being too watery after baking. Lattice pies, for example, usually have very little liquid left at the end.Do NOT cut the pie while it’s still warm. Let it cool completely first, or it will be too runny.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7XZ_WfrGBU

Leaf Pies Leaf Pies
I thought you needed a leaf shaped cookie cutter to make leaf pies. Then I saw in another recipe that you can use a round cookie cutter, and I've been doing that ever since. You could probably use a cup to cut the dough, but I think cutting with a cookie cutter's sharp edge gives it a more definite edge.Use the leftover dough from cutting out the shapes and just reform it and add some veins and you'll have another leaf.If you end up using store bought puff pastry, these can be easily made by starting at Step 6. Baking at the high temperature the whole way though will give you pies that are lacking its light texture (I think this is because the reduced baking time will cause it to not bake all the way through).

Apple Pie Made with an Easy Pie Crust Apple Pie Made with an Easy Pie Crust
I used the pie crust recipe that I always make for these apple pies.・These are moderately sweet. Adjust the amount of sugar to your taste.・ Don't put in too much filling! It will leak while baking.・ In Step 2, don't over knead the dough! If you mix too much, it will harden and will be difficult to roll out thinly. Recipe by Fushicche -
A Baker's Pie Crust A Baker's Pie Crust
The pie crust recipe in a cookbook I had was too sticky and hard to work, so I adapted it using a crispy biscuit recipe that I had. I used 300 g of medium-strength or all-purpose flour this time. I tried various ratios of flours, but this recipe worked well with all cake flour or 100 g of bread flour + 200 g of cake flour too. I love how this pie stays crispy even the next day. There's no need to fold the crust, plus you only need one bowl.The cream cheese and butter blend better if you work them with your hands, but they do melt with your body temperature. If you use a fork, they blend better with the flour and your hands don't get messy. If you knead it or the cream cheese and butter melt while you're making the crust, the layers won't form properly, so it's best to chill the cream cheese and butter very well beforehand, and to make a crumbly crust quickly. Chilled ingredients will result in the nicest crust when baked. This recipe yields around 8 to 10 mini-pies about the size of your palm, or one double pie crust. If you only need the bottom crust for a pie, use half the listed amounts. Recipe by Koharumama -
Mock McDonald's Apple Pie Mock McDonald's Apple Pie
I looove McDonald's apple pie so I wanted to make a pie like that the melts in your mouth. This recipe was just to try it out and that's why I baked it in a round pie dish.If you add too much water, the dough won't rise properly. Bake for longer at 190℃. A little cinnamon goes a long way. If you don't like too much cinnamon, use half the amount listed. Recipe by CyborgDORRY
