raised pie
Self-supporting meat pastry
A raised pie is a meat pie with a sturdy, self-supporting crust that holds its shape without a baking dish.
The thick pastry—traditionally hot water crust—forms walls that stand independently, allowing the pie to be served cold and sliced like a cake.
Pork pies and game pies are classic examples: a traditional raised pie for the Boxing Day buffet.
