Butter Pie

Options
Anyone ever heard of this? Think it's made with potatoes too?? An elderly neighbour, now no longer around used to make it and it was yummy

If you can make it cheaper do so. If it's not reduced, in Primark, off ebay or free I can't have it

    yes! my favourite kind of pie! Think it might have onions in it too, not sure whether the butter is just in the pastry or the filling as well (think I'd rather not know as it might mean me not being able to justify eating it anymore!). They're very popular in lancashire, so you could try googling for some lancashire recipes?

    Oh, I love these. Hardly ever see them now, so make my own. Sliced potatoes and onions cooked slowly in a little butter and made into a pie. Cheap and tasty and my very favourite kind of pie.

    Im a lancashire lass and these pies are very common around here.

    Basically potato and butter.

    Even when you buy them we add an extra dollop of butter to the filling

    Lovely

  • They sell these in the old snack shop at Victoria Station in Manchester and they're gorgeous.
    Just for one moment, thought I'd found my way.
