These recipes, all contain Hot Water Crust Pastry as a major wild food ingredient.
Hot Water Crust Pastry is a true oddball in the pastry world, as all the ingredients are combined hot rather than cold. It is made by heating water and fat (usually lard) together and mixing them into the flour. Because of the high amount of water the pastry is quite hard and strong, making it suitable for encasing heavy mixtures, such as pork, ham or raised game pies, without collapsing. This pastry must also be moulded quickly as it sets quite hard as it cools.
