Time 2h45m

Yield 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 1/4 lbs all-purpose flour, plus extra for kneading and rolling
2 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
5 ounces 2% low-fat milk
5 ounces water
7 1/2 ounces lard or 7 1/2 ounces shortening
2 cups water
1/2 cup honey
3/4 cup kosher salt
1/2 lb ice
1 Cornish hen, thawed and giblets removed (1 1/2-2 lb)
6 ounces mixed dried fruit (such as prunes, apricots, mission figs, candied ginger)
5 sprigs fresh thyme
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 large egg yolk, beaten
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • In a small pot, combine 2 cups water with honey and salt. Heat just until honey and salt are dissolved. Add 1/2 lb ice and stir. When completely cool, add game hen and soak 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Whisk together flour and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large pot, combine milk, water and lard. Bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and dump in the dry ingredients. Stir until it forms a loose dough.
  • Turn dough out onto a board, and as soon as it is cool enough, begin to knead. Knead until it forms a smooth dough, then set aside to cool for at least 5 minutes.
  • Using scissors or shears, cut through the skin along either side of the breast and remove the skin from over the breast. Stuff the cavity with the dried fruit, then tie the legs together with butcher's twine. Place bird on a sheet of parchment and trace around the bird, about 1/2" larger than the bird's shape. Set bird and parchment aside.
  • Cut dough in half, then cut one half in half again. Turn the parchment over so the pencil is on the underside. Using the heel of your hand, spread one of the smaller lumps of dough out to fill the shape you traced. Set aside, then repeat with the other small piece of dough; leave it on the parchment. Take the larger piece of dough, using bench flour as needed to prevent sticking, and roll out into a piece about 4" wide by 12" long by 1/2" thick.
  • Beat egg yolk and water together to form egg wash. Brush the base piece with egg wash. Scatter thyme sprigs over base, then top with the game hen. Place the long "wall" piece of dough around the game hen, crimping it to the bottom, then overlapping and pinching the two ends together. Sprinkle the breast of the game hen with the allspice, black pepper, cumin and paprika. Brush the top edge of the wall with egg wash, top with the remaining piece of dough and crimp to seal. Brush all exposed dough with egg wash.
  • Transfer parchment to a baking sheet, and place in preheated oven. Bake 1 hour 15 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and allow to rest 15 minutes before carving. Remove the top of the crust with a serrated or electric knife before extracting and carving the hen for service.

MEDIEVAL GAME HEN POT PIE

Provided by Alton Brown

Time 3h25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 Cornish game hen, thawed and giblets removed
1 quart water
1/2 cup honey
3 1/2 ounces kosher salt
6 ounces mixed dried fruit, such as prunes, apricots, mission figs, candied ginger
5 sprigs fresh thyme
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon paprika
20 ounces all-purpose flour, plus extra for kneading and rolling
2 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
5 ounces 2 percent milk
5 ounces water
7 1/2 ounces lard
1 large egg yolk, beaten
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • For the hen: Put the hen in a 1 gallon re-sealable plastic bag with the water, honey, and salt. Seal the bag and move around vigorously for 1 to 2 minutes to distribute the honey and dissolve the salt. Set the bag in a leak-proof container and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • For the pastry: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Whisk together the flour and salt in a small mixing bowl and set aside. Combine the milk, water, and lard in a 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, approximately 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, add the flour all at once, and stir with a wooden spoon until combined and the mixture begins to form into a ball of dough.
  • Place the dough onto a floured work surface and knead until cooled, approximately 5 minutes. Divide the dough in half, and divide one of the pieces in half again. Set aside.
  • For the egg wash: Combine the egg and water in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • To build the pot pie: Remove the hen from the brine and pat dry. Use kitchen shears to cut away the skin from the breast of the hen. Place the dried fruit into the cavity of the hen and tie the legs with butchers twine. Place the hen in the center of a piece of parchment and trace an oval approximately 1/2-inch larger than the hen, approximately 8 1/2 inches long by 6 1/2 inches wide. Remove the hen from the parchment and turn the paper over to avoid getting pencil on the dough.
  • Roll the two quarters of dough into ovals according to the template; this is the base and the top of the pot pie. Place one of the ovals in the center of the parchment. Set the other oval aside. Roll the remaining half of dough into a 1/2-inch thick and 4-inch wide strip of dough that will go around the oval piece and surround the hen. Brush around the edge of the base pastry with egg wash. Place the thyme sprigs on the base, then top with the hen. Place the 4-inch wide strip of dough around the hen, forming a "wall" around the hen. Press the ends together. Press down to seal this to the base pastry. Sprinkle the hen with the allspice, black pepper, cumin, and paprika. Brush the top of the "wall" with egg wash. Place the remaining oval of pastry on top of the hen and crimp, attaching the top to the wall. Patch any holes with excess dough. Brush the entire pastry with egg wash. Bake until the hen reaches an internal temperature of 150 degrees F, about1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and rest 20 minutes before serving.
