How it came out of the pan.
the test slice while still warm.I've been itching to try and ketofy a corned beef and potato pie I saw being made on Youtube by a brilliant baker called John Kirkwood.
Today was the day.
I used a mix of celeriac and cauliflower to sub for potato mash and when it looked a little bit on the wet side I added a couple of spoonfuls of oat fibre which worked to give a mouthfeel more like mashed spuds.
I made the pastry from a mix of vital wheat gluten, oat fibre, coconut flour and almond flour with a pinch of xanthan gum and a pinch of yeast and lard as the shortening.
I used a loose bottom high sided pan so I couldn't do the crimped edge John's pie had.
I'm certain this will be even better once it is chilled and the fat sets.
My non-diabetic husband says it is the best corned beef pie he ever had and the crust is the best short crust pastry ever.
I had a smaller piece than he did because it is very filling with all the fibre and fat content. Blood sugar before eating - 6.3 blood sugar afterwards 6.4
I'm quite excited about this.
Next stage is to weigh stuff when I make the pastry so I can share the recipe so it can be replicated.
The main trick with this pastry is to roll it out using a silicon rolling pin on a silicon baking sheet and treat it very carefully because it is very fragile before cooking.
