Steps

  • Sift both flours and salt into a bowl and rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
  • Heat lard and 200ml of water in a saucepan until simmering, then pour into the flour and stir into a dough.
  • Liberally grease an 18cm springform tin with melted lard.
  • Knead the dough until smooth and use three-quarters to line the base and sides of the prepared tin.
  • Layer half the stuffing, half the turkey, and half the combined cranberry mixture into the case, repeating once more.
  • Cover with the remaining pastry, seal the edges, trim, crimp, pierce a steam hole, and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • Bake in a roasting tin for 45 minutes, brush with beaten egg, and bake for a final 15 minutes.
  • Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before letting it rest for 30 minutes more to remove from the tin.
