I started doing that when you told me on a previous thread. I'm sure that's what made me get it right this time. I was really pleased. Thank you. I'm trying my first ever home made pie tomorrow. I've got a chicken, ham and leek pie filling recipe for the slow cooker and bought some jusrol pastry - I can't do it all straightaway although I do know how to make shortcrust pastry. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
