Ingredients: 2 tsp Cumin; 1 tbs Rapeseed Oil; 2 finely chopped Red Onions; 6 Garlic Clove; 3 finely chopped Green Chilli; 1 finely chopped Red Pepper; 1 tsp Nutmeg; 2 tsp Coriander; 1kg Lamb Mince; 1 tsp Pepper; 3 tbs Coriander; 340g Plain Flour; ½ tsp Salt; 90 ml Milk; 150g Lard; Beaten Egg Yolks

This recipe makes a classic Scotch pie, featuring a spiced lamb filling encased in a sturdy hot water crust pastry. The lamb mince is seasoned with toasted cumin, fresh coriander, and a mix of fried onions, garlic, and chilies, giving it a warm, aromatic depth. The pastry comes together quickly by pouring boiling milk and lard into flour, then kneading it while still warm. After baking, the pie needs to cool completely and chill for at least two hours to set properly, making it easy to slice and serve.
