Meat Pie, A winter comfort.

This first shot is how Jo envisioned his dinner.....the whole pie!  Sharing is caring I reminded him and we ate together!
I love making pie crust and have found many different textures of crust by changing small things in the blending of the butter and flour, how long it rests, the amount of water....there are so many variables to making a crust and it amazes me because there are only 3 ingredients!!

1lb of butter
1.5lbs of White Spelt (or whatever you have available)
3/4 cup of water and that may vary as I look for a texture.

Light, flaky and delicious that is all this girl can ask for!

The meat of the meat pie was Ground Bison and holy moly was it good!   I was able to dig up vegetables from my garden the other night.....yes I am still digging the root veggies.  Pulling up 5lbs of onions, 1 giant leek, a couple of carrots and 1 beet!  Not bad for December 13.  These ingredients plus sweet potato were added to the stew that was going to become the filling!
Once the pie cooled so I could cut it and hope it stayed together......sometimes dreams do come true!!!  Served with a salad and a smile, my belly was very satisfied!
