1 ½ Cups (194g) of Plain Flour (Gluten free for us)
1 Tsp of Xanthan Gum.
¼ Tsp of Salt
170g of Salted Butter
1 Egg, beaten

(2) Add the Flour, Butter and Salt to a large bowl and combine by hand until you have a crumbly texture.
(3) Add the Xanthan Gum and combine by hand.
(4) Add the Beaten Egg and Water a little at a time and combine.
(5) Kneed into a smooth dough ball and place in the fridge covered for 30 minutes.
(6) On a Floured surface roll the dough out so that it is a suitable size and thickness of the Pie casings.
(7) Line the base of the casings and add your cooled cooked filling.
(8) form a lid and glue it in place with a little beaten Egg.
(9) Brush with the remaining beaten Egg and place in a pre-heated oven at 180c.

The filling of these was Turkey and Leek and a white Sauce. But nobody wants to know about more Turkey at this time of year.

We had a home made Garlic Bread as a side. Again for a pair of Omnivorous creatures this was a very tasty and filling meal.
