Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups (375 grams) plain/all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (226 grams) unsalted butter, cubed and kept cold until ready to use
- 1/2 cup (118 ml) cold water
- 1 large egg beaten with a little milk to brush on pastry
- Large dried beans for weighing down pastry
- 1 teaspoon oil
- 1 tablespoon butter plus more for greasing pie dish
- 1 cup (128 grams) yellow onion, finely chopped
- Small pinch of salt
- 3 cups (354 grams) corned beef (leftover roast corned beef or canned/tinned)
- 1 cup (240 grams) mashed potato
Instructions
- Make the Pastry: In a food processor, add flour, salt, and butter. Pulse until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Gradually drizzle in cold water until it forms a ball. Alternatively, combine ingredients in a bowl, rub together until crumbly, then add water. Shape into a ball, wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the Filling: Blend corned beef until fine or chop into small pieces. Heat oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions until soft, then mix with corned beef and mashed potatoes until paste-like consistency.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Pie Dish: Grease a 9-inch pie dish. Roll out half of the dough to fit the dish. Line with parchment and fill with dried beans, bake for 12 minutes, remove parchment and bake for an additional 5 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
- Fill the Pie: Spoon filling into prepared pastry. Roll out remaining dough to cover filling, sealing edges well. Brush top with egg wash.
- Bake the Pie: Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Keep ingredients cold for a flaky crust. Try adding herbs or cheese for extra flavor.
