  • Bring the breadcrumbs lightly together to make a ball, wrap in clingfilm and leave to rest for 30 mins.

  • Roll out the 7/8 of the pastry to form a thin pie crust, it is quite soft dough so expect to mould it with your fingers into your pie dish. Add your filling and then roll out the remainder of your dough and cut into strips to make your lattice top.
