A Trio of Pies

First day of a week off with Henry from school hols so we were planning on a trip out to beamish museum ( http://www.beamish.org.uk) but as we have a years pass we may do it tomorrow instead as we decided to bake.  

I had prepped a chicken, bacon and leek filling the day before from leftover chicken and a reduced ham hock. I made some short crust aided by my trusty assistant Henry, I had enough filling for two pies, one of which went in the freezer for a meal next week.

There was still so much pastry left and instead of wasting it I made a treacle tart with some stale bread that was lying around.

Tonight's pie will be baked and served with potato wedges and salad I think ... Watch this space!
