Venison Pie


For Christmas you could put a cranberry in the little air-vent...
The main thing about this venison pie is not the filling, which was a basic but delicious mirepoix/venison/beef stock stew with copious amounts of gravy. And it wasn't my adorable antler decoration. No. The really important thing about this pie is that it was my first attempt at rough puff pastry. Look at that lamination!

Your pastry looks fab. I always find rough puff to be pretty much as good as the real thing and it's so satisfying to make.

Leaf - haven't tried full-on puff, but I was surprised by how easy this was.

Joumana - thank you! I nearly always use bought pastry, but I wanted to give this one a go.

Bluegum - yes, I think I am sold on this.

What lovely layers! So impressive for a first attempt.

Yep, that was one of my cat hats. In fact, that pic was from my blog. Oh well. :/
