    The day before :
  • 2
    Prepare the pastry : mix together the flour, salt and baking powder ; slowly incorporate the margarine, the beaten egg and then, little by little, the water. The dough should form a ball and it should not get sticky. Always work on a little extra flour and stop adding water if the dough gets sticky. Put the dough in a bowl, cover it with a clean sheet and keep in fridge till the day after.
  • 3
    Peel the onion ; dice the meats and bacon in small cubes, as well as the onions. Add you favorite spices (thyme, clove, bay leaves, sage etc…), salt and pepper ; mix well and leave in fridge for the night.
  • 4
    Peel and cube the potatoes, cover them with cold water ;leave for the night.
  • 5
    The day of your dinner :
  • 6
    - Roll out the pastry in order to obtain 2 big and thick disks ; one should be larger than the other. Line the bottom of a buttered casserole (oven type) with the largest and leave some pastry hang over the edge.
  • 7
    Mix the meat with the potatoes and their water (you can choose to ground the meat before, but it is not necessary) ; adjust seasoning and display the whole in the casserole.
  • 8
    Beat the egg yolk with the milk. Display the second pastry disk on the meat and seal the 2 pastry disks together (help with a little of the egg and milk mixture). Brush the top pastry with the egg + milk mixture. Make a whole in the center of the pastry to let the steam get out during cooking.
  • 9
    Bake in pre-heated oven for 30 minutes at 410°F then cover with aluminum paper and bake for another 5 hours at 300°F. Turn the oven off, remove the paper and leave in oven for 1 hour.
