Thanks for the advice! This sounds like a junk food replication challenge. I hope I'm up for it... I'll just have to find a source of lard in Brooklyn ;) I'll let you know how it goes...

I think you can just use jam jars. I'm liking the way these crusts present...

Yes, I believe it is usually a meat pie, but I came across several mentions of a mac and cheese version when I was searching for unusual mac and cheese recipes. The closest I've got to a recipe is this:

Which might do, but I was thinking that someone might have a more official/foodier version???

Hi there,

I'm trying to win a Mac and Cheese cook off and I think Scotch pies might be the answer. Can someone point me toward a good recipe? I've found hot water crust pastry recipes and descriptions of Mac and Cheese pies, but nothing that puts the two together in a real award-winning way. Can someone help?

Thanks!
