Raised Pie

Ingredients

• Dough for raised pie
• Egg for washing
• Bran for filling

Directions

The book says “a moderate oven”. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

1. Prepare the dough for raised pie.

2. Cut the base at least ½ inch thick and dock with a fork.

3. Prepare the oval bottom and wash it with egg.

4. Roll out dough ½ inch thick into a 1-inch wide strip.

5. Wet the ends and wrap the strip around the oval piece on the base.

6. Fill the case with bran to within ½ inch of the top.

7. Cover with a thin layer of dough with a small hole in the center.

8. Wash the outside with egg and bake at 350°F (175°C) until golden brown.

9. Once cooled, cut out the top and remove the bran.
