Hey folks! Tonight for tea we had a ploughman’s lunch…so made a couple of tasty pork pies to go with it :) The weather has been lovely over the past week and just perfect for this kind of thing. Everything I used in the video will be listed below…enjoy! These ingredients will give you two quite large individual pies or one even bigger pie.

Can almost taste it!!
(My dad WAS a ploughman with a two horse team and he had lunch of cheese, small onion and bread and some cider...and in the 1930s that WAS a decent meal for a farm worker!.)
Great English pie 🏴
Ploughman’s is English too
My Granda use to make these, if you saw the pastry and the meat in the fridge, you know when you came home from your work that night, you know what’s for your dinner. With mushy peas, I am in heaven 😊
Thank you so much for your video. I live in Russia, but I really love British recipes. I already baked a pork pie. I liked it very much. And I also use subtitles, but I really liked your voice.
Only just come across this channel and I just wanted to say, I love how homespun and unpretentious this is. This was a delight to watch. Thank you.
G'day Cheryl, for a first attempt at a pork pie that was a truly amazing effort. Yes, it's simple but one must have patience. A well-made cold pork pie is one of the great joys of life and can be served at any time for any occasion. I've even seen them at extremely posh Christmas spreads. They go way, way back in English and Scots cooking history; which is the exact opposite of the 'Ploughman's Lunch'.
You're absolutely right about serving anything you fancy in a so-called 'Ploughman's Lunch'. Over the decades this dish has taken on a false reputation for being something handed down to us from early English cooking history. Nothing could be further from the truth.
While the term a 'ploughman's lunch' first appeared in print the early 1800s, it was almost certainly a derisive description of a lump of cheese with a crust of bread; the universal meal of the poor in rural areas and cities, if one could afford cheese.
What we know as 'The Ploughman's Lunch' today was created in the 1950s and actively promoted by the Milk Marketing Board to boost national cheese sales; according to the Encyclopedia Britannica.
This is one of those dishes for which there is no 'recipe' and there never was one. If you see a 'Ploughman's Lunch' recipe in a book then the author has either made it up or copied a version from their local pub.
So, go with any ingredients you like, a cold pork pie being a perfect component, as long as the 'lunch platter' includes a lump of cheese, it's a 'Ploughman's Lunch'.
I'll be subscribing for more of your delicious Scot's cuisine.
Cheers and all the best. Bill H.
I am absolutely making these. Looks amazing!
😃👍
New sub here in Australia, I make a wicked pork pie, it was my mothers recipe and her mother and grandmother before her, it’s funny I bought one from Woolworths as a comparison a few weeks ago when I mad my last batch, they were charging $8 per pie and they were tiny small, I emailed the manufacturer explaining how ashamed they should be in making such bland cardboard tasting rubbish, I offered to hand deliver them a batch of mine for their staff to taste test, they did reply but declined my offer and sent me a $50 Woolworths voucher which I donated to my local homeless shelter. Next time I make ‘‘em I’ll post a vid, these old school recipes should never be forgotten, thank you for your video reminds me of my grandma
blueenglishstaff. Tried Patchetts in Mascot ? I'm aware of the Woolies items.....😝
That looks delicious 👌🏻 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻
My English husband introduced me to pork pie...I made some a couple of years back for Christmas Eve...they were a big hit! The best thing about making a big batch that time of year was being able to put them out on the screen porch to cool...saved a lot of room in the fridge 😊
Thanks for sharing . The ploughman’s lunch looks delicious 😋
When I first moved here, to Pittsburgh, ( many years ago) one of the local punk bands I liked, was called Ploughman's Lunch!
I really liked seeing how you formed the pastry dough around the jar, it looks so easy and seems to work perfectly.
Thanks, from Michigan, USA!
Like the recipe especially the pastry. I usually mold while the pastry is hot. I thought that the thickest pastry bottom edges looked a little under cooked but will do my pork pies your way.
Oh my gosh, I've only just come across this recipe, apparently a year after it was first posted. I'm so happy! This is the best and easiest pork pie recipe I've ever seen and I can't wait to get started on it. I was ecstatic to see the jelly going in! As you said, it's traditional and no pork pie is right without this! YUM!
Haha me too!
Thank you for this nice video! Looks delicious! Using the jar to make the pie case is ingenious!
Thanks so much! 😊 It makes a good replacement if you don't have a pie dolly!
Cheers Cheryl! I've loved these since I was boy, but since moving to Germany a few years ago I've been unable to find them. Halleluia for your video! I followed the recipe last Thursday and made a big, somewhat irregular one. Since then I've made two lots of medium-sized pies (3 pies apiece) and they are just getting better and better! Thank you!
You are the Queen of Pies, Cheryl! These look delicious
2 of my fave English dishes in one video, thank you 👍
Always wanted to make these but always looked so difficult till now. Thanks going to make these for Sunday lunch with ploughman’s lunch.. Thanks again 😘
Fantastic video look so delicious, thank you for sharing friend! ✨💞
Looking forward to trying my hand at hot water pastry. Thank you!
Don't bother wasting hours looking for pork pie recipes because this is as good as it gets.
Love seeing this. I think Paul Hollywood would make a comment about the crust being a bit raw. Great effort. Cheers!
, Cheryl this looks amazing, definitely going to try this. Thanks for sharing.
That looks wonderful, took me back 70 years in a flash, my granny used to make these.
I’m going to make these for dinner, and watch Still Game this evening!
Just yesterday evening I was asking myself where I'd find a good recipe for those ^^
I have to try this pie. Love the tip with the wine, oops, jam jar lol
wow!! that looks amazing a must try.
I’m tempted to go out and buy a plough now!
I doubled the ingredients and made 2 big pies. Wow: look and taste really good. I made a few a couple of years back from another recipe (not yours) and was disappointed. Christine your recipe is excellent: many thanks! 😀👍👌
This is a proper 'How To'. Makes it look so easy.
At evening just skip the telly for an hour or two to prepare. Since most of it has to rest for hours.
Best time investment.
I made these yesterday and have just taken them out of the fridge and they taste amazing 😊
I Love British Food. Thank you
These are both specifically English in case you want to look for similar recipes
Love a ploughman lunch. Blessings luv Ontario Canada 🐝🇨🇦
The jam jar hack is genius, thank you for sharing. I can't say it enough, Mr what's for tea is one lucky guy .
Thank you soo much - I didn’t realise that the jelly was put in second to the pork !! Another one for us to try !! ✨✨
WOW! That was brilliant! I’ve never heard of a plowman’s lunch. I love learning about foods!
Funny how words and phrases travel about the world. I live in the middle of the States. As a child, my grandmother would call me, “Her little pork-pie” 😊
OMG Cheryl that looks mouthwatering.👌
Tops MADE EVERYTHING SIMPLE. Bravo. Keep
It coming. I can cook!! But made your. Corned beef pie. Fantastic. 🕊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🕊❤️
Brilliant recipe, I can't wait to try it. Thanks Cheryl xxx
Lovely simple recipe that i'll definitely be trying, always thought making these would be complicated but you make it hassle free, thank you
What a beautiful plate of food. Great job Cheryl
That looks fantastic. I didn’t realise how easy they were to make.
Really enjoy these how-to videos for old-fashioned recipes+
OK. That pie shaping method is brilliant!!!!
Nice work Cheryl. Will try the pie.
Oh yum!! We have Scottish meat pies for Xmas eve. Tradition.. Never had pork oies, but that cud be next. You n god bless n stay well. 💖
Pork pies and ploughman’s are both English meals
The pastry recipe is also good for left over turkey at Christmas, also any pork. Layers of pork, turkey, cranberry & apple sauce.
Absolutely delicious. Cooking time is just to cook the pastry as the meat is already cooked. Great for leftover meat
Awesome trick with the jelly jar! I’m going to try this with rice flour and add some veg
BEAUTIFUL! 😊
Remind me of seeing my mum making a pork pie when rationing ended in the early 50s. She also made one of those choux pastry towers covered in spun sugar, wow!
Croquembouche?
Greetings from the USA! I think I've found a new, and absolutely charming/endearing little channel here! Thank you for sharing your content with the world.
What a brilliant idea to use a jar to form the bottom & sides of the pastry. So easy! I can't wait to get started. Much respect from Western Australia
Love the pies Cheryl. I'll give them ago here in the Philippines. Originally from Stonehaven. 👍👍
Nothing beats a homemade pork pie. Nice recipe. Absolutely yummy scrum! Thanks from Australia.
My hubby would kiss me a thousands times over if he came home to this for his supper! 😘😘😘 What a wonderful recipe 🥰 and in its own right…..what a beautiful work of art!! 😍 Now to find the ambition….lol! 🤣
Nice Pork Pie presentation on a great Ploughman's lunch. From me in Canada.
As an English person I have NEVER made this and we make EVERYTHING from scratch. lol I have made branston, cheese, bread, Scotch eggs, sausage rolls: I think its time! thanks for the help!
Looks fantastic. I might mention that the old fashione Be-Ro cook book advises moulding the pastry while it's still hot/warm as this is easy to shape and the cooked result doesn't collapse when you cut it to serve at fridge cold temperature or room temperature. Also when moulding it with your fingers you can spread it round the inside of a baking tin and this makes a nice large family sized pork pie. Your technique here is very professional - so will give it a Like right now. Lovely demo.
Love the soothing Scottish accent… I’ll be giving this recipe a try. Can’t beat a decent pork pie! 👍🏻
i love seeing the recipes for dishes. when you grab the premade, although you make look delish, i grimsce at the bad chemicals in those foods. ❤ you are what you eat! ❤
Great job, well done. Look forward to giving it a try. So glad to see a video from a fellow Scot with NO subtitles. Goneyersel.
Thanks Cheryl, I love your recipes but also how clean and tidy you work. Thanks for this, really lovely.😊
I’m from California. I love making these type of pies.
And to think, Americans like to bash English food like this lol, these are both traditional English foods
This looks like a top recipe and quite unlike the kind of meat pies you'd typically be able to find in the northeastern US. Looking forward to giving this a go, thanks so much for breaking it down into easy steps to follow!
Can you get PICCALLILI?
Or BRANSTON PICKLE?
Or PICKLED ONIONS?
All essential accompaniments.
Or better still, make your own.
Enjoy.
@@stevefowler3398 They have most of those in the UK section of the supermarket. I'll give them a try, thanks!
Ohhhhh, wow and it looks so yummy.
Hot water crust, pork filling with spices and that GLORIOUS jelly...OH MY GOD! 🤩🤩🤩❤❤❤❤😋😋😋😋
That looks absolutely delicious.
Look forward to trying it - and you’re correct, it’s not a pork pie without the jelly.
Well Cheryl, for someone who claims she can't make pastry and is no kind of chef you did a pretty good job with that pie. Very well done.
Looks so good I have to make this
I reccomend your Pork Pie recipe Cheryl , just perfect was the word when i followed your instructions. I really love a good pie and these are excellent . 10 out of 10 for them and thanks again for sharing your amazing cooking talents with me.
Thanks for sharing - I too always wanted to make small hand held pork pies but didn’t know how. This just great. Lunenburg, Nova Scotia Canada!
So glad I had just eaten or i would have been crying. It looks superb and although I do a lot of home cooking have never made a pork pie, but you have inspired me. A great video.
Hello Ms. Cheryl,
You're correct about this hot water crust being the easiest in the world to make.
Recently, I've made a chicken pot pie using a butter crust. i.e. flour, salt, cold butter, and cold water.
Then I tried my hand at a oil crust. Let's just say I won't be making that mistake again as the taste couldn't stand up against the butter crust.
Then most recently I made a hot water ( 50/50 lard/butter ) pastry and made pasties out of it. The taste was phenomenal. The pastry was super easy to make. Last night, I made a large pastry and put it in the refrigerator. Originally, I was going to make more pasties I( I still might ). Then last night, I got to thinking and decided to try my hand at hand raised pies. Yes, the pun was intentional. I found some minced meat in my freezer, not sure if it's beef, or pork, so mystery meat. Along with the meat I'll be making a filling with onions, carrots, celery, roasted potatoes, roasted turnips, and roasted Swede. I can't forget the trinity. Frozen corn, peas, and green beans. I'm going with all this veg because I want this to be a complete meal. The only thing missing is a fruit. LOL
For grins 'n giggles, I priced out a pie dolly on Amazon and it's $35.00 USD. That's a bit too dear, especially when I can accomplish the hand raising using a widemouth pint mason jar. ( Yes, my Scots heritage came into play. ). It appears that you and I think alike...
I tried it out and it looks like I can place three pies hand raised using the pint jar in my 10 inch/25.4cm pie plates based on the fact that I can fit three jars in the plate with a wee bit of room to spare. I'm making enough to feed myself for the week.
By the by, I set down some pickled onions at the end of August. I just tried one. Oh My GOODNESS was it a flavour grenade!
My hubby loves pork pies. I’ll surprise him by making this recipe. Thanks a lot
I'm definitely going to give this a go this weekend. It looks delicious and brings back very fond memories of my time in Scotland and England (I noticed that most pubs in Yorkshire have pork pies during the summer months). I'll be sure to let you know how my pies turn out. I'll be serving four people. Thanks so much!
@Fergal O'Doherty.... You: "I'll be sure to let you know how my pies turn out".
And? 11 Months ago. 😉
@Fergal O'Doherty.... You: "I'll be sure to let you know how my pies turn out".
And? 1 Year. ..... crickets .... Nothing ... I can only assume your pork pies killed you. Either that or you're just a pri@k ...
What a pie.....unbelievable. Many Thanks from New Zealand
Definitely going to give these a try. You make it look so easy. Be lovely with a bit of Branson Pickle. Might even have a bash at turning it into a gala pie (pork pie with hard boiled egg in the middle), which I love. 🏴🇺🇸
What a good idea!
I’ve never tried a hot water pastry before or a pork pie. I’m so excited to try these. Might see if my son fancies trying then if I buy the ingredients xx
@Bjron Maxson I am good thank you
This is actually identical to my French wife's Pâté en croûte recipe but round instead of rectangular. Looks delicious ! Cheers from Barcelona 😘
Hi Cheryl, well we gave the poker pies a go today, and although a lengthy process, it was quite simple to do.
They are just setting now so the proof is in the pie when we try them tomorrow.
Thankyou for the simple and easy to follow instruction.
Fingers crossed these will be a festive favourite 😊
Loved this1 If you're here in the U.S. you can use canned bone broth if you can't find gelatine sheets, it will jell, this was delishious with turkey as well!. Rewatched this twice now, THANKS for the video Cheryl!
🤣
Thx for the tip about the canned one broth. I am from Delaware USA
I’m looking forward to trying this
@@imapip6313 Knox gelatine powder is very easy to use and substitute for gelatine sheets.
Bone broth jells? What is the procedure ? I love pork pies, and this explanation was so easy to follow. Excellent video.
Great video. I always thought pork pies were way to difficult for me but will definately give your recipe a try, thank you!
The recipe is amazing! Easy to make and the result exceeded all expectations.
I am giving this a go! Best looking pies I have seen. My father-in-law is coming for a visit this week. I'll make a ploughman's lunch.
Wow looks incredible - I’ve always wanted to make them - but I saw Gary Rhodes make them years ago and he made it look so complicated xx
Cheryl makes everything look easy and doable doesn’t she ? X
@@SparklyPrincessLynnette she does!
@@LindaC616 I love Cheryl. My son has dyslexia and adhd and he was making her recipes while in uni as it was easier for him than a recipe book but Cheryl’s does explain the process so well x
@@SparklyPrincessLynnette she really does!!
@@SparklyPrincessLynnette love a kid who can fend for themself! Kudos to him! (I've had a student whose father made fun of him because he couldn't/wouldn't make himself a sandwich🙄)
I really need to try this as you can't get a decent pie here in Ireland. ❤
Fantastic Cheryl 😋👍
I love the creative way you formed your pie casings, brilliant!
Looks like a very hearty lunch!
Looks delicious Cheryl. Thanks for sharing your recipe. 🙂❤️
Thanks Shirley :) I can't claim this recipe as my own though...first time making them x
Everything looks very delicious haughty I’d want some mustard with your beautiful pork pie. Thanks for showing us how easy to make and form that pastry, I’m looking forward to giving it a go. Looks like it may be one of those third times a charm things ;)
I've always loved ordering a ploughmans at a pub, you never know exactly what you'll get, which fruit, which cheese, pickle jam, and of course, a bass ale. Bit it's always yummy
that was the easiest pork pie i have seen made, thank you very much
Looks delicious 😋 lve always wanted to try and make a pork pie now l have no excuse 😄
Your pastry is genius! Thank you !
That was a fine looking pie, we'll have to start calling you Mrs Miggins.🥧😁
I made myself a wooden mandrel many years back when making pies more often, but the jam jar is just as good a trick. I'd quite often make layered game pies in the hot water crust. Always really tasty. Quite like putting a spoon of Branston pickle or piccalilli mixed through the meat, or wee cubes or cheese. A boiled egg is good to to make it a Gala pie. It's like having a mini ploughman's in a pie!
Great video & hope you enjoyed your tea, haven't made a ploughman's in ages. 🤔💭[Know what I'm making next week.]
thanks Mrs Muggins. Great 👍recipe 👌
