MBE v tigs78 chicken and leek pie challenge

Yum! So does that mean

- you've already cooked the chicken pieces

- you're going to do the chicken in with this

-[STRIKE]you've forgotten all about the chicken[/STRIKE]

- you're doing the chicken in a separate pan?

I see the plastry has turned back into pastry - how's the wine going, MBE?

I thick pastry is pretty stupid.


Use 2/3rd for the base and 1/3rd for the lid.

Just before I go, one final [STRIKE]interference[/STRIKE] hint

These are good proportions, but the most important thing is to have a beautiful lid (in art as in life) so roll out your pastry, cut out your lid and only then worry about how much is left for the base. I think half and half is probably better for the best presentation.

I divide the pastry and then role.

Good advice though.

I can't wait to see the shapes mrbe is going to make to decorate it?

None of the above, I bought a cooked chicken from Morrisons. My next job is to break it up in pieces to share between the pie and the cat.

Leek, bacon, flour and milk mixture....
