Hot Water Crust Dough is the secret to creating the perfect, golden, and flaky pastry for savory pies, especially traditional meat pies and pasties. Unlike regular shortcrust pastry, hot water crust dough is made by melting the fat into boiling water, which gives it a rich, tender texture and allows it to hold up well to hearty fillings. This versatile dough is ideal for making rustic, comforting pies that are crispy on the outside and filled with flavourful ingredients.
