I made your recipe, I also bought a store bought 1 for comparison, all I did differently was add some fennel seeds, fair to say the next day I emailed the company who made the store bought one to tell ‘‘em the seriously need to up their game, if a home cook like me can make something as delicious as this at home having never done anything like it before and have it be 100 times tastier than theirs then they seriously need to have a good look at who creates their recipes cos theirs tasted like cardboard, mine was like 5 star, and I mean I gave it to everybody to try and they couldnt believe the flavor of it, thanks Scotty

After 5 years this is still the best how to make a pork pie video

Mr. Rea, I was fortunate enough to spend a short vacation last summer in Scotland. In the village of Dunkeld, I had my first Scotch pie. Life = altered... This video made me all meat pie hungry. The closes thing we have here is either a mincemeat pie or a baked pot pie with veggies and such. These types of standing crust meat pies are going to be on the menu in our house this fall and winter! With a bit of good fortune, I see a pork and venison pie in my future. Keep making these videos. They are great!!!

Been living in Indonesia and no chance of getting a pork pie, but I e got to thank you because I’ve made this every Christmas for the last 3 years , it’s brilliant , proper taste of home. Cheers man.

Okay so I just watched and listened to this post…………. I’m now starving out of my mind for a pork pie 🥧! The only way I am going to get one here in New York is to make one! OMG 😱!!

I'm just watching again for the 3rd time, as my pie is now in the oven for the first 30 mins. What an amazing recipe!! My pastry was almost perfect, I'd say that mine was slightly more moist, than yours, but I believe that I am going to have the most glorious pie for Xmas. 🎄Many, many thanks. Cheers🍷 And, final report, it worked out absolutely magnificent!!!! Oh wow ❤️❤️ I have funnelled in the jelly and removed the base. There was some leakage, but now all gone and a clean bottom to stand on. I am over the moon 😁

It warms my heart to hear someone else use the phrase "it's all gravy, baby." Cheers, man. Now I've got to go work off that pork pie . . .

We are so grateful to you, have just kept and processed our first 2 pigs at home this year and spent the last 2 weeks butchering and making pork pies, sausages and first taste of bath chaps tonight which was stunning, you have taught us a lot and we have learnt by doing too, nothing wasted and your enthusiasm and clear descriptions have got us through the last 2 weeks with a bit of confidence ... So just needed to say thanks ..

I've been binge watching your videos all weekend! Fantastic.

I could even taste and smell that pie while watching. Thanks Scott

Sir. I followed your recipe to the letter with the exception that I had a ripe pear lying about which I decided to finely dice and add to my meat filling. The aroma while baking was absolutely incredible. I can't wait til the pie cools and I can fill it with my home made chicken stock gelatin. Thank you so very much for this recipe.

Lovely, easy and made with humour! I'm definitely going to make this pie and freeze slices for work. Thanks!!

Just watched your black pudding, haggis and pork pie tutorials. Spot on mate. Perfect British take on all three. I'm drooling like a bloodhound now. Woof.

I just found your channel! I love your humor! I don't eat meat anymore, gives me terrible stomach problems BUT I get this weird satisfaction watching you prep and cook it! Thanks for sharing and posting! Subscribed!

In the nicest "chappish" way I loves yer Scott. I'm exiled (thanks to my wife's family) in Australia where they offer up a lump of gristle as a 'pork pie'.....You are a life saver....

I made this in mini version and yum! Amazing thank you ! Best crust recipe ever!

Beautiful. A serious pie. Tip: I always cook a very small version of the main pie at the same time as a taster. It cooks and cools quickly and you can gorge yourself on it while the mega pie cools! As Bob Marley used to sing. "No jelly, No pie..."

Thanks for posting this recipe! Sounds terrific - love meat pies (and pasties!)

I watched a few videos on how to make pork pies, and yours was the absolute best. I can't wait to try this. My husband misses those pies since he came to Canada, and I really want to learn how to make this, and the smaller ones. Cheers Scot, and thanks for posting this great video.

oh man! When I lived in England all I managed to find were the little mini pies and the inside looked a bit like a fig cookie. This is a work of art. I want one now

I am from Russia. It's very interesting for me. Thanc's.

This is brilliant I’ve made your recipe a few times now and everyone loves it, thank you!

I lived on traditional made pork (Scotch) pies as a kid, the town baker had pies to die for. Unfortunately he retired and so the ( in head) recipes and skills lost. Another commercial kitchen makes them but they are just not as good, so i'm going to make my own following your very helpful video. I am a butcher by trade too, did my meat retail apprenticeship in the 1970's. We did window displays, smoked our hams and bacon, made haggis and bk and wh puds, meats were cut to order of customer,etc, these skills are all lost these days with supermarkets.

Looks delicious, Scott! Thanks much for the video.

Looks Great I love P/pies with Hot Mustard realy bring out the flavour

Proper man food! Looks gorgeous

Fantastic! A beautiful pie. Thank you Scott

You know what Scott. Last night I made a whopper of a pork pie to just about your recipe.... Mate. What a treat. The cider was cold and the onion chutney was sweet and spicy. Even my girlfriend, who never eats a porky pie loved it. Sir.... Merry Christmas and a meaty treaty new year. Keep it going mate. Andy

I love it. Thanks!

Holy crap! What an amazing thing! Never heard of it nor did I know it was an English thing but I sure will be trying. Glad you showed the right way. Thanks and happy Christmas 🎄

that sounds and look great… and surely taste freaking good

This just looks wonderful

Thanks for showing us how to do this , "PROPERLY". Looks awesome, no wonder you couldn't wait to eat it!

You ARE an artist!

Just simply delicious, going to make it for next weekend. Thanks for sharing! Dutch Foody

Looks wonderful. Will try it, thank you. 😊🇨🇦

I'm speechless... Thats a pie. Brilliant

I loved your vid, so easy to follow and the detail was terrific, I will be making this tomorrow when I get my order of pork delivered, thanks very much, I hope mine turns out as great as yours !!

Excellent film and recipe. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

That looks phenomenal

loving the recipe Scott thank you.

Scott, Thank you for the awesome recipe and clear, easy to follow video.. Good pork pies are impossible to find in Johannesburg (I grew up in Lancashire but have lived in Africa for 35 years) now I can make my own !! You are right, the dice is a labour of love but so worth it to to get the texture that makes for good eating (notwithstanding the 3 plasters on my fingers) The hot water crust pastry is so easy and not at all heavy... and you are right on the spicing, its all about the pepper! Keep up the good work mate your efforts are much appreciated around the globe... Regards Steve Norton

a piece of art!

Excellent video and recipe. Thank you!!!!

I'm an aspiring butcher and I've been watching a lot of your videos Mr. Rea. You make great content.

Thanks a lot. As always, when you butcher or cook, I am glued to the screen and save on file everything I watch. I can't keep up with what you teach but it sure is fun and fattening to try. God Bless. PS I tell everyone I can about your site so the great recipes won't get lost.

Cheers for this video. I’ve never made one before but gonna try and make it (as best I can) similar to my favourite pork pie the Reg Mays Ploughman’s.

I've never seen that method for making a pie crust before. Learned something new... Thanks! Will have to give this a try with some of my home cured bacon.

Sublime!

A pro at work as always....... Great job!

That looks marvellous!! Thanks for another great video.

Looks really Delicious ... can't wait to do mine and to enjoy, Thank you.

As soon as I finished this video I looked for some place in the States that sell British food and ordered all kinds of pork pies, English sausages, steak pies and bacon. Should be here by Thursday!!!

I've cooked two of them sofar, made jelly from slow-cooked pig trotters for the second. Pork pie is not very well known here, but all those who tasted it asked for more ;) Great video Scott, thank you !

Lovely.

never had this dish, but my love for the pig will soon change all that, thanks for sharing this!

Looks bloody lovely, have saved the vid and gonna have a go at making my own, thanks mate

that was brilliant ! really impressed cheers carl

Just enjoyed my first pork pie following this recipe with pork raised on our farm. I split it between 4 small pies. Outstanding! The wife said I need to open a shop here in the U.S. and sell these. Nothing like it around here. Enjoyed with a Sazerac and some Coleman’s mixed with sweet relish.

The broken pies we had when making them years ago were probably the best thing on earth. Hot out of the oven and lovely crusts.

thats it! gonna try my first pork pie this weekend , thanks man

Another fab video

we made this last year it was fabulous we will be doing it again this year thanks for the great video

made your pork pie today just one word delicous thank you..............

Looks super nice, thanks for the recipe 😍

Like your pie crust recipe. Unusual putting lard butter and water, heating, then adding to flour. Awesome!

Take 4 days to do properly, 1. pastry then fridge, 2. next day prep meat and fridge, 3. next day make and fill pie and fridge. 4. Next day bake then fridge overnight before cutting. No eggs.

Scott, in the U.S., we don't have anything that looks as lovely as that masterpiece you made in this video. I can't wait to try to make this. THANKS for this beautiful video. Keep up the good work! Mike

i do love a pork pie - i eat them every week .... great video
