Ingredients

8 ounces, of plain flour

2 ounces, butter

2 ounces, white fat (dripping / lard or veg fat)

3 large potatoes

1 onion

Directions

Blend in food processor and then drizzle in just enough cold water to make the pastry form a ball, leave in the fridge to rest for ½ an hour

In the mean time, peel the 3 large potatoes and 1 onion, cut the potato into large chunks and the onion in to half moon rings, parboil for around 20 minutes until the potatoes are just soft but still holding there shape. Drain and slice into your pie dish, into which you have rolled out a bottom layer of pastry, layer in the onions, salt and pepper and flecks of butter, top off with the top layer of pastry.

Bake at 180 degrees for approx ½ hour until golden, serve immediately with your preferred condiment.

Butter Pie is new to me. Seems easy enough for my talents. Please, what is HP sauce? Do you dip into the HP or pour it over a serving? TIA

Sorry forgot about the translations HP Sauce is very similar to A1 Steak Sauce, just a little thicker

Surprisingly delightful! This was excellent and fairly easy to make. Was not quite sure how a crust would make potatoes and onions any better but it really worked!

Didn’t peel the spuds as we like them and had trouble with shaping my crust but that was my error, not the recipes.

Didn’t like how hard it was to cut the pie into slices as the onions were a problem to cut through. Thought that the layers should have been separated. Now I may have misunderstood the directions here but the way I read it, the onions were left together in half moons.

This was a little on the dry side as poster stated. Didn’t have any HP sauce nor steak sauce that may have made a difference. Mr. Breezy used catsup and liked it fine. We may add a little something inside to pick up the moisture next time but there will definitely be a next time.

Now if I could just stop singing Paul McCartney’s “Uncle Albert”…

Astrochef, do you mind if I post my “non professional” photos to your recipe?
