225 g plain flour – sifted

Pinch of salt

50 g lard – cubed

50 g butter – cubed

1 cup cold water

50 g butter

1 onion (approx 75 g), finely chopped

1 large potato (approx 250 g), peeled and diced into approx 2-3mm cubes

200 ml cider

1 large cooking apple (approx 250 g), peeled and diced into approx 2-3mm cubes

Preparation

Put the gammon, onion, cloves and bay leaf in a large stock pot. Cover with the cider and bring to the boil, simmer for 1 hour (or 1 hour per 1kg + 20 minutes).
While the gammon is cooking you can make the pastry. Rub the lard and butter into the flour and salt to until the mixture is like fine breadcrumbs. Sprinkle enough water over the crumbs to bring the pastry together, but not too wet. Knead lightly on
