PENKILIN PIES

You and your dad challenged  me to make a pie like the famous Pukka pies, you both gave me a ten out of ten for this. so in honour of the river we live on they are to be known as Penkilin Pies

1st marinate the meat in red wine

then drain off marinade into a glass and place meat in a bag with seasoned flour

Fry off meat and add other ingredients then top up with water till covers about an inch above meat it will look like too much water but dont worry it will reduce

cook slowly for at least 2 hours

roll out pastry and line moulds

 then add filling which has been cooled down this is important dont add hot filling then put pastry on top make sure you seal the edges together well use egg then brush pie with egg to make it look pretty once its cooked 

cook in oven for about 20 to 25 mins at 210

then take out of moulds no parsley garnish needed

METHOD

1. Make the base: Butter and line a serving dish with baking parchment if you have it. Put the biscuits in a plastic food bag and crush to crumbs using a rolling pin OR put into food processer. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl, then pour over the melted butter. Mix thoroughly until the crumbs are completely coated. Tip them into the prepared tin and press firmly down into the base to create an even layer. Chill in the fridge for 1 hr to set firmly.
2. Make the filling: Place the soft cheese, icing sugar  in a bowl, then beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Tip in the cream and continue beating until the mixture is completely combined. add in crushed sweets and fold through,Now spoon the cream mixture onto the biscuit base, working from the edges inwards and making sure that there are no air bubbles. Smooth the top of the cheesecake down. put in fridge to chill
