Potato Cheese and Ham Pie

This is the third week school reopen after a 2 week plus break. Everything is back  to usual for my kids and me :D :D Do hope you are having a great week ahead.

Do you like potatoes?? So far i have not come across anyone who doesn't like potatoes :D This is Potato Cheese and Ham Pie is a recipe from Alex Goh's book of 'Baking Code'
The recipe call for puff pastry and some simple ingredients for the filling. I wanted to try to make my own puff pastry but i do not want to use pastry margarine. I found this puff pastry recipe from David Lebovitz's book of 'Ready for Dessert' -  It is a whole wheat puff pastry and in this recipe the puff pastry is for a apple tart but I tweak it a little by using the puff pastry to make a potato cheese and ham pie.


 
I bought some cute rectangle small baking tins lately, i wanted to try baking the pie with it. I think it will be kind of cute to make the pie in a small rectangle size. What do you think??


 
 This pie is  one easy peasy to prepare pie provided you have the puff pastry ready in advance or you can use a ready made puff pastry from the store.
All you need to do is assemble the pie and the filling, then send them into the oven and the pie will be ready in no time ;)
 
 
 
Rolled out the  puff pastry and cut it slightly bigger then your pie mould and fitted it into the pie mould neatly. Filled in the fillings and place another piece of puff pastry onto the mould.
 
Brush the side with some water and sealed it with a fork.


 Egg wash the surface of the pie and prick some holes with a fork.
 
 
 
 
Potato Cheese and Ham Pie
recipe source: Adapted from 'Baking Code' by Alex Goh
 
Prepare a ready made puff pastry or please read here for my home made puff pastry
 
Filling: 
600g potatoes
60g butter
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
80g carrots (diced)
100g cheddar cheese (grated)
100g chicken ham (diced)
 
To Do:
 
Filling: 
 
  •  Put the diced carrots in the boiling water and cook for 2 minutes. (i add the diced carrots in a mircowave safe bowl, covered and mircowave in my 800watt mircowave oven for 2 minutes)
  • Cook potatoes in water until cooked. Peel the skin and mash it. Add in butter, mixed until it is wel combined. ( i peeled and diced the potatoes, put it into a mircowave safe bowl, covered and mircowave it in the mircowave oven for 3-4 minutes. Mashed the cooked potatoes and mixed in butter to combine. If the voltage of your mircowave oven is higher then mine do cook less time. The time of cook depends on the voltage of your mircowave oven.)
  • Add in the remaining ingredients and mixed well with the mashed potatoes.
 
How to assemble the pie:
  • Cut the puff pastry to the required size to fit the pie mould. Place the puff pastry onto the mould and brush the sides with water.
  • Place in the filling. Top it with another piece of puff pastry. Press the side with a fork and trim the excess.
  • Egg wash the surface and prick some holes with a fork.
  • Bake 200C for 25 minutes.
  •  
 
 
 This whole wheat puff pastry crust is quick puff pastry. It is light, flaky and nice. I have never had a whole wheat puff pastry, if you are like me then this is in for a treat. The adding of whole wheat flour gives it a hearty, nutty taste to the crust.
 
ENJOY!!

Shark Fin Dumpling ~鱼翅饺

This Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow), is one of my favorite dumpling. Although it is named Shark Fin Dumpling, but they contain no actual shark fin in it. Some say the look and shape of the dumpling does look like shark fin and other do include in imitation shark fin, though. I am lucky to have spotted this long hibernating in the book shelf chinese dim sum book ‘香港地道小吃’ translated as 'Hong Kong Authentic Tapas' Well, Do, you find this look like Shark's Fin?? 看看形状像不像鱼翅呢??  Filling for the ingredients are prawn, mince meat, carrot, yam bean and black fungus. Get ready the filling and the wanton wrappers. This is the parade of my Shark's Fin dumpling ... lol Homemade parchment paper liner. Arrange them neatly into the bamboo steamer. HOT! HOT! From the steamer!! Loaded with filling ..YUM! ENJOY~ Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow) (Scallop dumpling /Cilantro dumpling - depends which filling you using) Recipe adapted from  ‘香港地
