I am going to make a pie tonight to use up the meat and veg. left over from yesterday. I want to cook it on an enamel plate and put pastry underneath and on top.
Do I need to blind bake the base before adding the meat and veg mash or will it be o.k. to make it all in one go and bung it in the oven.
This is something my mum used to do but she's not around for me to get the details.

my oven's not great to be honest, I always put it on the second shelf for about 20mins gas mark 3, then move it up and turn up to gas 6 for another 10 mins, they always turn out lovely, no soggy bottoms,lol, but as has been said make sure your filling is cold when you put it on the pastry, good luck x
Oh a plate pie - havent heard of one of those for years
How lovely - but I lost 2 and a half pounds last week so I cannot afford to even think about one now - not if I want a stone off by Christmas
I very rarely make pies, as you may have gathered from the question but I am looking forward to eating this. I'm not on a diet, fortunately. but one little piece won't hurt, Ric ror.
I often make a pie from mixed up leftovers from the Sunday roast - potatoes, veg, meat and gravy. I agree with what most have said, the filling must be cold, the oven hot, and I'd love a piece please!
