Описание: An English pork pie is a traditional British meat pie consisting of a thick crust pastry filled with seasoned pork. It's a popular dish in the UK, often enjoyed as a snack, part of a meal, or at picnics. Here’s an overview of what makes an English pork pie unique:

Ingredients:
Pastry: The pastry for a pork pie is typically a hot water crust pastry, known for its sturdiness, which is necessary to hold the heavy filling without collapsing.
Filling: The filling is made from pork, usually seasoned with salt, pepper, and sometimes additional spices like nutmeg or mace. Some recipes also include a layer of pork jelly, made from boiling pig bones and trotters.
Preparation:
Pastry: The hot water crust pastry is made by melting lard in hot water, then mixing it with flour to form a dough. This dough is then used to line a pie tin.
Filling: Pork is chopped or ground and seasoned. The seasoned meat is packed tightly into the pastry-lined tin.
Assembly: A pastry lid is placed on top, and the edges are sealed. A small hole is often left in the top to allow steam to escape.
Baking: The pie is baked until the pastry is golden brown. After baking, some recipes involve pouring a clear, seasoned pork jelly into the pie through the hole, which sets as it cools.
