Thank you for this traditional recipe. I just made it for my Egyptian family. They were greatly impressed and happy to share in the Yorkshire heritage. Greetings from Cairo.
Mr Paul, you’ve just made me very nostalgic! I still have a couple of bone handled knives like yours which I inherited from my dad! Also, my mom made steak and kidney pies when I was a kid. I’m now 72 years old.
Hi Deirdre, thanks for your comment. I'm 75 and the knives you see in the video were in use in my fathers shop when I started there when I was 15 The knives were made in Sheffield, South Yorkshire by The Viners cutlery company and I still have the whole canteen of cutlery they came from and it's dated 1924.
@@MrPaulsPantry Ha ha, funny you should mention the knife, I was thinking the exact same thing. I have a set which were my mothers and I remember using them as a young child. Thank you Paul for a bit of history with date as I have always wondered what year they were made in.
Hi Paul, my mother worked for Joseph Rogers on Pond Hill, Sheffield as an Etcher. I also grew up with yellow handled cutlery. BTW just spent New Year's Eve doing the filling for Steak and Kidney pies tomorrow. Happy New Year mate.👍
I'm also feeling nostalgic seeing this. Mr Paul is using a rolling pin like the one I have of my late fathers. I remember when he made steak pies for the family he would get me to go down to the bakery he worked at to get fresh unrolled pastry for the top of the pie. We were a family of eight so the steak & kidney pies were always done in a large enamel ashet. The puff pastry would be three inches high,
Brings back so many memories...... was my favorite thing my mother made... she used to keep the kidney on one side and the beef on the other for those who didn't want kidney... and she would slice potatoes very thinly and put on top of the meat before covering with the dough.... Thanks for this!!!
I visited Yorkshire 18 months ago and I've been dreaming of eating another steak and kidney pie ever since. Your video inspired me to take the leap and make them, and they've turned out perfect. Thank you so much. Everyone, this recipe is PERFECT AS IS, don't change a thing when you first make it.
Thanks for your help. I don't like meat but I wanted to make this for my Dad, he's so excited he used to make this with his mum. I hope he notices the smell when he walks in the door ! Love from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤️
I just followed this simple recipe; my family were impressed. As a personal choice, I put it under the broiler for 5 minutes at the end, to crisp up the top, but the base recipe is perfection, and so clearly explained. Thank you.

So I gave her a small 'woof' went somewhere else :-) Now I have found a sympathetic butcher who is going to get me some beef kidney for next week. Thanks for the film -

Hello Mr Paul. As I’m not keen on thyme, is it very strong tasting in the pie? I love watching you cook your recipes, so easy to follow, also your from my favourite part of the UK.
Ya he cenado hace hora y media, pero me comía uno con un vasito de vino ahora miiiismo oigan. By the way extraordinary recipe Sir congratulations one of this days I try to make it to my sons and grand sons

@@MrPaulsPantry it was wonderful. I used calf kidneys and they were tender and flavorful. I am getting more kidneys from my rancher friend very soon so I can make it again. I will have a good supply after we are finished butchering the cows they need butchered. I help butcher and I get the kidneys and other meat. Win, win.
It looks absolutely amazing but my God! Allow that time and effort just for a pie. I don't think I'd have the patience. I'll come up to the bakery and buy some of yours.
Yes, I make all my own stock in large batches and freeze it in half litre portions. I don't have a recipe on my website but this link is from my private notes > mr-pauls-pantry.com/beef-stock-private-notes/
Hi Ray. I'm afraid I've never tried it as we always baked these fresh daily in the bakery, sorry. You could try but it will probably be trial and error as far as the baking time is concerned, depending on the size of your pie
I'm on a pie mission! Do you have a recipe for a chicken and mushroom or a chicken and leek pie? Now the weather is turning dark and rainy here in the UK a comforting pie is just the thing! Thank you also for doing the Meat and Potato pie, very much appreciated. God Bless :)

Hi Paul looks just like we used to getting home from the fish and chip shops before Phukers came into being, meant to ask you if you’ve ever heard of hotcakes as a young child my mother used to get them from a man with a bicycle with hot box on it, used to deliver every night about 4 o’clock it was a non-crispy floury bap type thing which was still hot when delivered we cut them open then sit round and have them for tea with some margarine in those days, but they were absolutely delicious. Any thoughts. Please let me know, great videos very simple which is best for me with thanks, Rick
Hi Rick, Although as a kid I heard of Hot Cakes but as we were travellers stopping in the leafy lanes of the UK we didn't see anyone selling them. From what people have told me over the years they sound like a Barm Cake and the saying " Sold like hot cakes" came from them as they could only carry a small amount or they would go cold, so more often than not they were sold out very quickly. Sorry I can't be more help.
@@MrPaulsPantry hi Paul, yes, they’re sort of very soft, and flowery as I said delivered by men on bicycles with a hot box on the front, my father was an electrical engineer who worked on nuclear power stations all around the country, so we travel in a caravan, moving from site to site, every 18 months, more often than not travellers would join us on the site so I spend my youth playing the travellers children good times. Thanks for the reply, Rick

Hi Mr Paul I really enjoyed this video and I wanted to ask if I can substitute the meat filling for vegetables or add vegetables to the meat filling? thank you for sharing lovely videos 🤗
Sorry, you can't make a Steak & Kidney Pie without meat. This is a traditional recipe and I've never tried to change it. f you add vegetables to the meat then you'll compromise the beef flavour. May I suggest you search for a different recipe. Visit my Website mr-pauls-pantry.com/ For more recipes. Stay safe and keep cooking
I have just subscribed to your channel, Mr Paul could I ask where you got the inner foil pie cases from please I have the metal ones like yours but can’t seem to find the foil ones to fit inside like yours? The pies look delicious😋
Hello Carol, they are a left-over from my bakery and just using them up, although here in Spain I can buy quite a selection of foil dishes in the supermarkets. In the bakery we had them made to fit whatever tins we were using just to make it easier for the customer to carry home.

Proper pies,just like the old days,beef dripping not vegetable oil,plenty of kidney,you would think it was expensive the amount they use in the bakers these days,well done Mr Paul 👍
You won't believe this, but just before reading your comment I was busy sorting out several small dishes of Beef dripping I had saved into one pot. I was very fortunate that my step father had 5 Pork butchers shops, so I did learn a lot about meat before I started baking. Thanks fir taking the time to comment Steve.
I've eaten pies from all over England and the UK in general and the best place I've had the best pie is Northern Ireland. Mcattamneys butchers do I good one
Hello Mr. Paul, my Mom used to make these, but Mom can’t remember the recipe any longer. I think she used to make them in a smaller steel “cup” which she put in a pan of water to cook in the oven. Wrapped in a cloth napkin. Have you heard of that technique? They’re both from Lancashire. I’ve not found a way to replicate her recipe. I think this is pretty close, though. I seem to remember she used suet for her pastry. Do I ask the butcher for beef kidney? I don’t think I’ve seen that anywhere in the grocery story. Watching from Canada. Thank you for sharing
Hi there, You're thinking of a Steak & Kidney Pudding not a pie. It was steamed not baked. You can see my recipe at this link: mr-pauls-pantry.com/steak-kidney-pudding/ and yes ask for Beef Kidney
Thank you so much! I’ve saved your recipe link & will try it. Appreciate you responding back. If I master the suet pastry, I’ll try dumplings for my stew. I make stew every week in Winter months.
I do have a recipe for a Cottage pie on my website, change the meat for lamb for a Shepherds Pie. mr-pauls-pantry.com/cottage-pie-recipe/ Hope this helps.
Hello Mr Paul. I just found you today. To say that I am very happy about that would be an understatement! I recognised your accent right away as I spent two years in Yorkshire (Pontefract area) as a teenager. I have a question about the steak and kidney pie. After you added the beef broth the mixture looked very liquid. How/when does it change into a nice thick gravy like you have in your pie? Also, I have a question/request: when I lived in Yorkshire I used to eat the most wonderful custard pies. Do you have a recipe and demonstration for them? If so I would be eternally grateful. Thank you.
Hi There, such a coincidence, just before we came to Spain, many years ago, we were living in Hemsworth, just a few miles up the road from Pontefract. As for the gravy, well it's because during the long cooking process as the liquid evaporates the gravy thickens, also don''t forget, the filling has to get completely COLD before it goes into the pastry, so it's even thicker then. I hope this helps. NOW for the Custard pie (no such thing) anything without a lid is a TART (Custard Tart) I don't have a video as yet, but it's on my to-do-list. Thanks for watching and commenting, I do appreciate it. Visit my Website mr-pauls-pantry.com/ For more recipes. Stay safe and keep cooking .
Hi Heather, many thanks for your kind thoughts, I'm not doing too bad at present, still got the neck brace , next scan 20th and results 25th, so keeping my fingers crossed. xx
Hello Mr. Paul, I have a question about the kidney portion of this pie. Many years ago I attempted to make a steak and kidney pie, but the smell of the kidneys was so strong, I had to abandon my dish. Since then I've tried to learn what I can do to prep the kidneys. Is there something that I may have missed? If I remember correctly, I cleaned the kidneys of anything other than the kidneys themselves. Thank you so much for your advice in this area.
This can sometimes happen depending how the animal has been reared, the worst are Pig Kidneys. In the bakery we always washed them well in cold water the left them to soak in cold milk for several hours before use. I hope this helps.
@@MrPaulsPantry thank you so much! I believe the ones I had were indeed pig kidneys. I will give this a try with something else other than pig kidneys, hopefully lamb.
I've always used half the amount of kidney to beef, as kidney is very strong. I always cut the kidney into much smaller pieces so you just get a hint of kidney rather than a huge mouthful, which can be very off putting.
Mr. Paul, steak and kidney pie is my favorite pie and I am looking forward to using this recipe. When you say beef drippings, is it rendered down beef tallow that you use? Thanks, Dan.
Yes, everytime I roast beef I save the fat from the roasting tin and freeze it until I need to use, But you can use any other fat or oil but it won't have the same flavour of course. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment, I appreciate that. I wish you a very Happy & Healthy New Year. Visit my Website mr-pauls-pantry.com/ For more recipes.

Here in the UK, proper butchers - a sadly diminishing breed - used to make and sell their own dripping, which is great for frying chips, for fish and chips, in. I have fond memories of going to our local butcher's shop, as a kid, to get a pack of dripping for Sunday's roast. Sadly, that shop closed down last year.
@@brianartillery Sorry Brian, only just seen this, been laid up with a very bad bought of alergical asthma brought on by the Olive Pollen here in Spain (Worst for 25 years) Yes Butchers were stopped from rendering their own dripping when EU regulations came in the late 70's. Ane you're so right about the fish & chips, nothing comes near to frying them in Beef Dripping. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, I appreciate that.
The pies look delicious! I've not been great at making pies before as the pastry always gets a bit tough or it goes soggy etc but with all those great tips I'll give this one a try :)
You can do it, just take your time and always make sure everything is to hand before you start, that's most important. Visit my Website mr-pauls-pantry.com/ For more recipes. Stay safe and keep cooking .
Absolutely fabulous video and recipe ,I'm sat watching you with my four French bulldogs and we are ALL drooling.I love pies I believe they are a craft I can not seem to master.Unfortunately I have completely ceased buying them ,I recently tried Ocado Waitrose and M&S and they were all filth ( in my opinion) .They simply MUST hire a specific staff member whose job description is to add gristle and lumps of fat !!!! It drives me crazy.Maybe they need YOU to show them just how it's done,take care.
I will try this recipe looks yummy. One thing though, adding flour like you did is a rookie mistake. You are looking for lumpy gravy. Suggest putting the flour in a very small amount of Luke warm water dissolving the flour and then add it to the dish. No more lumps
What is the best way to reheat these pies? I want to cook for my son and his lovely little family but they live an hour and a half away, so the food has to be reheated. Help, please
Hi Charles, I've used it in my bakery for years, in fact it's from a complete canteen of cutlery I have with was made in sheffield by the Viners Company 1n 1926. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment, I do appreciate that. For more of my recipes go to my website at : mr-pauls-pantry.com/
Looks amazing! Not had steak & kidney pie for a long time. So will give your recipe a go. Just like me you weigh water. Those measuring jugs are just useless and inaccurate. Could I just ask about the fat for the pastry. You used half and half, is this because it gives a better result or is that years ago it was cheaper to do half and half? I use all butter for my pastry, and it has a lovely flavour.
Hello Elaine, NO, years ago in the bakery we always used ALL Lard because it's a much better shortening than butter or Margarine. I'll let you into a secret, I personally use all lard myself even today 60+ years on. Half & Half gives both good shortening and flavour. Hope this helps.
Thank You so much Mr Paul I will certainly try half butter/lard next time I make my pie pastry. I just love the old-fashioned way of cooking and I am always searching for recipes. Proper food in my opinion. Good food can't be rushed and takes time to do, but always worth it in the end. Unlike the fast rubbish that is around today. Do you have a recipe for good old-fashioned meat and potato? Also you look like the kind of gentleman who would love good old-fashioned sage and onion with his Sunday Roast - would you happen to have a recipe for stuffing? My mum always used Paxo - and I know people will roll their eyes at it. But it is good as a base to start with and then add extra things to it, like fresh sage and gently cook some onions to add to it. By the way your Scotch Pies look delicious too :) Great tip to leave the pastry over-night!!

Thankyou for reminding everyone that beautiful pies of all kinds are made all over England, and Wales, and Scotland, not just in YORKSHIRE.
My Irish Grandma made the best steak and kidney pie I've ever tasted.
Please don't give Yorkshire all the credit for pies.
This is an awesome, proper, steak and kidney pie recipe. Many thanks for posting. I am a bit lazy so use ready to roll shortcrust pastry. Must try it with puff pastry
Hope you enjoy it, Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Hello Mr Paul. As I’m not keen on thyme, is it very strong tasting in the pie? I love watching you cook your recipes, so easy to follow, also your from my favourite part of the UK.
Well done Mr P! A Master class. I would like your Pork pie seasoning recipe please.
Hi Geoff, it's on my website at this link: mr-pauls-pantry.com/real-pork-pie-recipe/

Please read THEESE days, bloody predictiv...
This is Amazing, there's nothing like making a Pie like this from Home.You make it look so easy, I'm going to attempt it over the Christmas time so hopefully it will work out OK for me. Thanks for this wonderful video and keep up the good work. PS Happy Christmas to you!!!!
Hi Luke, I've been a baker for 60+ years and I still get a kick from making this pie, even though I live along, it's a little bit of effort for such a big taste.

Thank you for your time and effort. I love English pies!. I'm going to give it a try but beef dripping is not easy to find in Spain, any valid substitute?
Perfect, thankyou.
You're welcome Frank. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Thank you Mr Paul for this great recipe 😊. Will you please make a video of soufflé pancakes?❤️

Mr. Paul's Pantry Sure! Much love to you and your family ❤️❤️
Going to try this for the first time this week. I gots fresh calf kidney this morning. If I like this I will be able to get more kidney very soon.
Hope you enjoy it. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment, I do appreciate that. For more of my recipes go to my website at : mr-pauls-pantry.com/
@@MrPaulsPantry it was wonderful. I used calf kidneys and they were tender and flavorful. I am getting more kidneys from my rancher friend very soon so I can make it again. I will have a good supply after we are finished butchering the cows they need butchered. I help butcher and I get the kidneys and other meat. Win, win.
It looks absolutely amazing but my God! Allow that time and effort just for a pie. I don't think I'd have the patience.
I'll come up to the bakery and buy some of yours.
Hi Mr Paul, did You make the beef stock ? If yes do you have a récipé to make it? Thanking you Patricia
Yes, I make all my own stock in large batches and freeze it in half litre portions. I don't have a recipe on my website but this link is from my private notes > mr-pauls-pantry.com/beef-stock-private-notes/
hi brilliant ,can i use bay leaf powdern ? i shall only put in a wee pinch
Yes, absolutely, I only use fresh because I'm lucky enough to have two Bay Trees in my garden. Thanks for watching.
How thick did you open the pastry for the steak and kidney pie. Thank you Pauline
Fantastic thank you , can the unbaked pies be kept in the freezer and baked from frozen , thanks again Ray
Hi Ray. I'm afraid I've never tried it as we always baked these fresh daily in the bakery, sorry. You could try but it will probably be trial and error as far as the baking time is concerned, depending on the size of your pie
I'm on a pie mission! Do you have a recipe for a chicken and mushroom or a chicken and leek pie?
Now the weather is turning dark and rainy here in the UK a comforting pie is just the thing!
Thank you also for doing the Meat and Potato pie, very much appreciated. God Bless :)
Hello Elaine,
Yes, go to my website www.mr-pauls-pantry.com and you will see a search box, type in what you're looking for there.
Hi brilliant Videos, could you show us a Chicken and Mushroom Pie please 😊

I hope these help. Thanks for watching.
Making this today for tonight’s dinner, can’t wait, it smells awesome already.
Hope you enjoy it Robert. Do please let us know how it goes.
Hi Paul looks just like we used to getting home from the fish and chip shops before Phukers came into being, meant to ask you if you’ve ever heard of hotcakes as a young child my mother used to get them from a man with a bicycle with hot box on it, used to deliver every night about 4 o’clock it was a non-crispy floury bap type thing which was still hot when delivered we cut them open then sit round and have them for tea with some margarine in those days, but they were absolutely delicious. Any thoughts. Please let me know, great videos very simple which is best for me with thanks, Rick
Hi Rick, Although as a kid I heard of Hot Cakes but as we were travellers stopping in the leafy lanes of the UK we didn't see anyone selling them. From what people have told me over the years they sound like a Barm Cake and the saying " Sold like hot cakes" came from them as they could only carry a small amount or they would go cold, so more often than not they were sold out very quickly. Sorry I can't be more help.
@@MrPaulsPantry hi Paul, yes, they’re sort of very soft, and flowery as I said delivered by men on bicycles with a hot box on the front, my father was an electrical engineer who worked on nuclear power stations all around the country, so we travel in a caravan, moving from site to site, every 18 months, more often than not travellers would join us on the site so I spend my youth playing the travellers children good times. Thanks for the reply, Rick
I've never used pie plates like the ones you use...the small ones. What size should I be looking for?
When you opened that pie I didn’t realise how much I was dribbling I’m making that one haha😊 thanks
Hi Tony, I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for watching.
Thank you
You're welcome
Perfect
Thank you for watching Elizabeth and for taking the time to comment, I do appreciate that. For more of my recipes go to my website at : mr-pauls-pantry.com/
Hi Mr Paul I really enjoyed this video and I wanted to ask if I can substitute the meat filling for vegetables or add vegetables to the meat filling? thank you for sharing lovely videos 🤗
Sorry, you can't make a Steak & Kidney Pie without meat. This is a traditional recipe and I've never tried to change it. f you add vegetables to the meat then you'll compromise the beef flavour. May I suggest you search for a different recipe. Visit my Website mr-pauls-pantry.com/ For more recipes. Stay safe and keep cooking
@@MrPaulsPantry awww... thank you 😊
I have just subscribed to your channel, Mr Paul could I ask where you got the inner foil pie cases from please I have the metal ones like yours but can’t seem to find the foil ones to fit inside like yours? The pies look delicious😋
Hello Carol, they are a left-over from my bakery and just using them up, although here in Spain I can buy quite a selection of foil dishes in the supermarkets. In the bakery we had them made to fit whatever tins we were using just to make it easier for the customer to carry home. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment and also for subscribing, I do appreciate that. For more of my recipes go to my website at : mr-pauls-pantry.com/
Eeeeee by gum lad that was great! 🙂
Proper pies,just like the old days,beef dripping not vegetable oil,plenty of kidney,you would think it was expensive the amount they use in the bakers these days,well done Mr Paul 👍
You won't believe this, but just before reading your comment I was busy sorting out several small dishes of Beef dripping I had saved into one pot. I was very fortunate that my step father had 5 Pork butchers shops, so I did learn a lot about meat before I started baking. Thanks fir taking the time to comment Steve.
Wow nice! 😍😋😋❤
I've eaten pies from all over England and the UK in general and the best place I've had the best pie is Northern Ireland. Mcattamneys butchers do I good one
Hello Mr. Paul, my Mom used to make these, but Mom can’t remember the recipe any longer. I think she used to make them in a smaller steel “cup” which she put in a pan of water to cook in the oven. Wrapped in a cloth napkin. Have you heard of that technique? They’re both from Lancashire. I’ve not found a way to replicate her recipe. I think this is pretty close, though. I seem to remember she used suet for her pastry. Do I ask the butcher for beef kidney? I don’t think I’ve seen that anywhere in the grocery story. Watching from Canada. Thank you for sharing
Hi there, You're thinking of a Steak & Kidney Pudding not a pie. It was steamed not baked. You can see my recipe at this link: mr-pauls-pantry.com/steak-kidney-pudding/ and yes ask for Beef Kidney
Thank you so much! I’ve saved your recipe link & will try it. Appreciate you responding back. If I master the suet pastry, I’ll try dumplings for my stew. I make stew every week in Winter months.
Thanks, can you do a Sheppard's pie.
I do have a recipe for a Cottage pie on my website, change the meat for lamb for a Shepherds Pie.

Hope this helps.
Hello Mr Paul. I just found you today. To say that I am very happy about that would be an understatement! I recognised your accent right away as I spent two years in Yorkshire (Pontefract area) as a teenager. I have a question about the steak and kidney pie. After you added the beef broth the mixture looked very liquid. How/when does it change into a nice thick gravy like you have in your pie?
Also, I have a question/request: when I lived in Yorkshire I used to eat the most wonderful custard pies. Do you have a recipe and demonstration for them? If so I would be eternally grateful. Thank you.
Hi There, such a coincidence, just before we came to Spain, many years ago, we were living in Hemsworth, just a few miles up the road from Pontefract. As for the gravy, well it's because during the long cooking process as the liquid evaporates the gravy thickens, also don''t forget, the filling has to get completely COLD before it goes into the pastry, so it's even thicker then. I hope this helps. NOW for the Custard pie (no such thing) anything without a lid is a TART (Custard Tart) I don't have a video as yet, but it's on my to-do-list. Thanks for watching and commenting, I do appreciate it. Visit my Website mr-pauls-pantry.com/ For more recipes. Stay safe and keep cooking .
@@MrPaulsPantry Yes, Mr. Paul, of course you are correct re: custard tart not custard pie. I could eat one right now if I had the chance!
@@user-pw2dq4lf2p Hello M Custard tart Video now on my channel at this link: th-cam.com/video/Ss_cjdNld4o/w-d-xo.html
@@MrPaulsPantry Hello Mr. Paul, I just watched the video. Thank you very much for this and I look forward to trying your recipe.
Hi sir Mr Paul been thinking about u wondering if you are feeling better just rest up take care u are well loved. Xx Heather leeds 🇬🇧
Hi Heather,
many thanks for your kind thoughts, I'm not doing too bad at present, still got the neck brace , next scan 20th and results 25th, so keeping my fingers crossed. xx

Hello Mr. Paul, I have a question about the kidney portion of this pie. Many years ago I attempted to make a steak and kidney pie, but the smell of the kidneys was so strong, I had to abandon my dish. Since then I've tried to learn what I can do to prep the kidneys. Is there something that I may have missed? If I remember correctly, I cleaned the kidneys of anything other than the kidneys themselves. Thank you so much for your advice in this area.
This can sometimes happen depending how the animal has been reared, the worst are Pig Kidneys. In the bakery we always washed them well in cold water the left them to soak in cold milk for several hours before use. I hope this helps.
@@MrPaulsPantry thank you so much! I believe the ones I had were indeed pig kidneys. I will give this a try with something else other than pig kidneys, hopefully lamb.
I've always used half the amount of kidney to beef, as kidney is very strong.
I always cut the kidney into much smaller pieces so you just get a hint of kidney rather than a huge mouthful, which can be very off putting.
Our local butcher only ever seems to sell pigs’ kidneys, and I find that a little goes a long way.
They look really good. How much kidney to meat?
The recipe is underneath the video and also on my website
11:40 Don’t take a teaspoon out of your cutlery drawer - sound philosophy for cooking and life. Thank you Paul😊
Mr. Paul, steak and kidney pie is my favorite pie and I am looking forward to using this recipe. When you say beef drippings, is it rendered down beef tallow that you use? Thanks, Dan.
Yes, everytime I roast beef I save the fat from the roasting tin and freeze it until I need to use, But you can use any other fat or oil but it won't have the same flavour of course. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment, I appreciate that. I wish you a very Happy & Healthy New Year. Visit my Website mr-pauls-pantry.com/ For more recipes. Stay safe and keep cooking.
Here in the UK, proper butchers - a sadly diminishing breed - used to make and sell their own dripping, which is great for frying chips, for fish and chips, in. I have fond memories of going to our local butcher's shop, as a kid, to get a pack of dripping for Sunday's roast. Sadly, that shop closed down last year.
@@brianartillery Sorry Brian, only just seen this, been laid up with a very bad bought of alergical asthma brought on by the Olive Pollen here in Spain (Worst for 25 years) Yes Butchers were stopped from rendering their own dripping when EU regulations came in the late 70's. Ane you're so right about the fish & chips, nothing comes near to frying them in Beef Dripping. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, I appreciate that.
The pies look delicious! I've not been great at making pies before as the pastry always gets a bit tough or it goes soggy etc but with all those great tips I'll give this one a try :)
You can do it, just take your time and always make sure everything is to hand before you start, that's most important. Visit my Website mr-pauls-pantry.com/ For more recipes. Stay safe and keep cooking .
Did you coat the kidney as well?
Yes Helen
What temperature do you cook it
Absolutely fabulous video and recipe ,I'm sat watching you with my four French bulldogs and we are ALL drooling.I love pies I believe they are a craft I can not seem to master.Unfortunately I have completely ceased buying them ,I recently tried Ocado Waitrose and M&S and they were all filth ( in my opinion) .They simply MUST hire a specific staff member whose job description is to add gristle and lumps of fat !!!! It drives me crazy.Maybe they need YOU to show them just how it's done,take care.
I will try this recipe looks yummy. One thing though, adding flour like you did is a rookie mistake. You are looking for lumpy gravy. Suggest putting the flour in a very small amount of Luke warm water dissolving the flour and then add it to the dish. No more lumps
What is the best way to reheat these pies? I want to cook for my son and his lovely little family but they live an hour and a half away, so the food has to be reheated. Help, please
Re-heat in oven at 180ºC until internal temperature is 80ºC or over
Do you sell your pies online? I’m in the US and my Dad is from Leister England.. THIS is his favorite thing to eat..
Sorry Alysia, I'm in Spain, so delivery is impossible.
That knife could tell a few stories, I'm sure!
Hi Charles, I've used it in my bakery for years, in fact it's from a complete canteen of cutlery I have with was made in sheffield by the Viners Company 1n 1926. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment, I do appreciate that. For more of my recipes go to my website at : mr-pauls-pantry.com/
Looks amazing! Not had steak & kidney pie for a long time. So will give your recipe a go.
Just like me you weigh water. Those measuring jugs are just useless and inaccurate.
Could I just ask about the fat for the pastry. You used half and half, is this because it gives a better result or is that years ago it was cheaper to do half and half? I use all butter for my pastry, and it has a lovely flavour.
Hello Elaine, NO, years ago in the bakery we always used ALL Lard because it's a much better shortening than butter or Margarine. I'll let you into a secret, I personally use all lard myself even today 60+ years on. Half & Half gives both good shortening and flavour. Hope this helps.
Thank You so much Mr Paul I will certainly try half butter/lard next time I make my pie pastry.
I just love the old-fashioned way of cooking and I am always searching for recipes.
Proper food in my opinion. Good food can't be rushed and takes time to do, but always worth it in the end.
Unlike the fast rubbish that is around today. Do you have a recipe for good old-fashioned meat and potato?
Also you look like the kind of gentleman who would love good old-fashioned sage and onion with his Sunday Roast - would you happen to have a recipe for stuffing? My mum always used Paxo - and I know people will roll their eyes at it. But it is good as a base to start with and then add extra things to it, like fresh sage and gently cook some onions to add to it. By the way your Scotch Pies look delicious too :) Great tip to leave the pastry over-night!!
