===Recipe for Scottish macaroni pie===<br />
I have been struggling for a while to obtain a recipe for a Scottish macaroni pie, without much luck. Bearing in mind that I have never tasted one, the following may be a close approximation.<br />
<br />
I made two portions of [[hot water crust pastry]], hand moulded it into 8 '''not''' 12 pie cases, [[blind baked]] these for 20 minutes at 180° C (350° F - Gas 4), made half a portion of [[basic macaroni cheese]] and used it to fill the pie cases. Sprinkled a little extra cheese on the top and baked these for 15 minutes at 180° C (350° F - Gas 4).<br />

I have to say that I found the hot water crust pastry unbelievably greasy and not very nice at all. I will repeat the experiment using shortcrust pastry, which may not be authentic but will probably be nicer.<br />
===Visitor's tip for making hot-water crust pastry===<br />
You want to make the pie crust with as cold water as possible. The dough should also be worked together as quickly as possible, not to generate to much heat.<br />
<br />
Leave to rest in the fridge for 30 min before rolling it out. --Siri-Ann <br />
