My amounts are about the same, funny how they all work out!

I used Newcastle Brown Ale once, and once our local Bar Harbor Thunder Hole Ale that is stronger, too. <br />With the filling you have to keep in mind not to place a too large amount on the dough pieces (my recipe amount is just right, Lepard's was way too much, and I had a hard time sealing the edges.

My original recipe had lard and butter so I substituted Earth Balance margarine or Spectrum organic all vegetable shortening and it works fine. re Newcastle Ale, I have had it but I will use Ayingar celebrator, I prefer a stronger taste. And I use a potato/carrot/rutabaga/parsnip/onion butter thyme cheese mixture. Thanks for expanding my horizons yet again :) I have 2 of Lepards bread books and they are interesting.<br />Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00035917731271480403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1266479675389453667.post-14824542429426947072015-04-22T18:05:23.864-04:002015-04-22T18:05:23.864-04:00I made these twice so far, once with the potato fi...I made these twice so far, once with the potato filling, once with my Christmas dinner leftovers, the crust is so nice.

Twice a week, shortly before luch time, I pull a load of bread out of the oven. It would be very convenient to pop a few of these in the oven and make good use of the residual heat. I'm sure the kiddies would be appreciative.<br />cheers and thanks for postingAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09330251530766066972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1266479675389453667.post-79073912657910142112012-02-27T18:15:15.026-05:002012-02-27T18:15:15.026-05:00Sara, I don't think he put suet in these pasti...Sara, I don't think he put suet in these pasties, but I made some Eccles Cakes, where he used both, butter and suet.

By the way, I've heard of pasties made with suet, does he give that as an option (not that I have suet on hand, mind you, was just curious).Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17103453299489428431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1266479675389453667.post-48621646812846666002012-02-13T11:07:02.903-05:002012-02-13T11:07:02.903-05:00I've been wanting to do more savory baking, th...I've been wanting to do more savory baking, thanks for pointing this out.
