LANCASHIRE CHEESE-AND-ONION PIE



Lancashire Cheese-and-Onion Pie image

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups flour, plus more for dusting
6 tablespoons butter, divided, plus more for greasing
4 tablespoons lard
3 tablespoons ice water, plus more as needed
3 medium onions, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 cup boiling water
1/2 pound Lancashire cheese, grated (Cheddar or Cantal also work)
Milk, to seal and glaze
Salt

Steps:

  • Combine the flour and a large pinch of salt in a large bowl. Add 4 tablespoons butter and the lard, and use your fingers to gently rub the fat into the flour until it has the texture of coarse bread crumbs.
  • Mix in just enough ice water to bind the mixture, about 3 tablespoons, and lightly knead the dough until well combined and smooth. When you can mold the mixture into a ball, do so. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes -- or freeze for 10 -- to ease rolling.
  • Heat the oven to 350. Add 2 tablespoons butter to a large skillet over low heat. When the butter melts, add the onions, a pinch of salt and the ground white pepper; cook slowly for about 10 minutes, never browning.
  • Turn the heat to medium and slowly pour in the water. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid cooks off, about 10 minutes. Remove the onions from the pan and place them on a plate to cool
  • Grease the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish and sprinkle a countertop with flour. Unwrap the dough and divide it into two balls, one twice as big as the other. Put them on the surface and sprinkle the tops with flour. Using light pressure, roll each one from the center outward, adding more flour as needed and turning them over once or twice during the process. When the larger ball is roughly 10 inches in diameter, gently move it into the pie dish and press it firmly into the bottom and sides. Prick it all over with a fork.
  • Layer the onions and cheese on top of the dough in the dish, then carefully cover with the remaining dough -- it should be about 8 inches in diameter. Press the edges together, gently but firmly, and brush the top and edges with milk. Use a knife to make 3 small incisions in the top of the crust so steam can escape.
  • Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake until the crust is nicely browned and the insides are bubbly, 45 minutes to an hour. Cool a bit before slicing into wedges and serving.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is the star of the show in this pie, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère are both good choices.
  • Don't overcook the onions: The onions should be softened but still have a bit of bite to them. If you overcook them, they will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Use a good quality pastry: The pastry is the other important component of this pie. A good quality puff pastry or shortcrust pastry will give you the best results.
  • Chill the pie before baking: Chilling the pie before baking will help the pastry to set and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Serve the pie warm: This pie is best served warm, so it's perfect for a winter meal.

Conclusion:

This onion and cheese pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its simple ingredients and flavorful filling, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
