    Just made this today Mr Paul. Thank you for your seasoning recipe. I had a slightly larger tin and I added an extra egg. But it was just enough pastry and meat. Just adding the gelatine and now I need to wait for it to set I cannot wait to eat it. 😋
    Reminds me of my old great grandma who i was fortunate enough to know. She used to go to our butchers and get a giant slab of gala pie. We all got some, but they were magnificent all lined up in the butchers window, happy memories of christmas past.
    I hope you have a happy Christmas mr Paul. best wishes from Staffordshire England

    I made this gala pie this weekend and I can safely say Mr Paul's recipe is easily the most authentic one I've found on UA-cam. Don't get me wrong, I've made some decent ones with other recipes, but they were always "home-made" and not quite the same as a real expert-made pork pie. When I first saw the video, I thought, this guy is really over the top with the "no substitutions" talk. However, I made it exactly as described, including the seasoning recipe, except I left out the egg because I forgot to buy eggs (didn't miss it). I guess I also deviated on the pork because I did the filling of Mr Paul's regular English Pork Pie, i.e. chopped up pork rather than minced. The result was perfect. The bread tin meant making the pie itself was far easier than trying to hand raise one or use a cake tin. The pie crust was absolutely identical to the best pork pies you can buy. I don't think the jelly worked out quite as good because I could not find gelatin in sheets, only powder, although it was good enough. Definitely making this again, and I don't think I'll bother with the egg next time either. Overall, I would say the main points are the ones Mr Paul emphasized: use bread flour not all purpose, and use only lard no butter.

      Hi Garrick, Thank you so much for your very positive feedback, it really makes my day. I will be 80 next year and have been making pork pies, etc. for 60 years and my stepfather was making them for 55 years too. Between us we won many awards and prizes for our pork products in the UK. came to Spain 25 years ago and had a bakery and charcuterie for 13 years prior to my retirement. I wish you a very Happy Easter Garrick. Thank you.

    Great work ! Very well explained 10/10 👍👍
    There is another way you could make the top of these gala pork & egg pies without needing the 3 holes and that is to use a hand held gadget that rolls over the pie top pastry (once you've rolled it out to the right size) and cuts multiple slits as it rolls over the pastry.
    When you pull/stretch the pastry apart you then get a lattice effect which looks nice and allows the pie to cook better, the steam to escape and for the jelly to be poured in more easily and uniform as you can just pour it in through the lattice mesh.

    • @MrPaulsPantry
      @MrPaulsPantry  3 роки тому +3

      Hi Joseph, Many thanks for your suggestion, I use the lattice roller often in my bakery, my family were pork butchers and made pork pies, etc for 85 years and although the lattice is good for small pies it's no good for the large Gala Pie, the steam is necessary to cook the meat without it drying out due to the long baking time..

    course grind. Could a pork shoulder be used? They're about 70/30 ratio.
    Where we live belly is very expensive, and that's if you can find it.
    Belly here is more sought out or used to make streaky bacon. About $5/lb.
    Pork shoulder, by comparison, on sale .89/lb.

    Hello Mr. Paul,
    Thank you for showing us how to do this. I have always wanted to make a Gala pie. My mother loved having a slice of Gala pie and it's so sad that she passed away before I got a chance to make one for her. I'm sure this must taste much better than shop bought ones.
    Your instructions are very clear and thorough and for me, this is the best way to learn.
    I just wanted to ask, do you actually refrigerate the pastry for 4 hours before rolling it out? I wasn't too sure. Did the pie slide out easily from the tin?
    I would be grateful if you would please let me know.
    Thanks very much.
    Best wishes, Gigi.

    • @MrPaulsPantry
      @MrPaulsPantry  2 роки тому

      We never refrigerated the pastry as the lard will set too hard. We left it out overnight to cool. if it's too soft you can chill it a little but remember it should feel like Plasticine/modelling clay. The pie should come out of the tin OK as there is a lot of fat in the pastry. I hope this helps.
