In a pan set it on a high heat add the water and the lard, bring to the boil. In a large bowl add the flour, then pour into flour the lard and water. Bring it together with a spatula so it forms a dough! Kneed it then cut off a third, this is for the lid. Butter a 20 cm spring formed tin. Put the large portion of the dough in the tin. With your knuckles push out the pliable dough, up around the sides! Next add the meat pushing it down well.

Roll out the last bit of dough roughly into a round, place it on top of the pie, crimping the edges as you go! Make sure you leave a whole in the top, this is for the gelatine. Wash the pie with egg. Place in the oven at 190 degrees for 30 mins.

With the soaked gelatine leaves, add to hot stock storing well! Once the pie and stock have cooled, use a funnel to pour in the hole bit bye but. Place in the fridge!! Then tuck in once the gelatine has set!! Delicious 😋
