A CLASSIC MEAT AND ONION PIE

Steps:

• Put the steak into a china or stainless-steel bowl, add the thyme, rosemary, and bay, and pour in the red wine. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the kidney into large, bite-sized pieces removing any fat or sinew. Toss it in the flour with the drained steak (reserve the marinade). Melt the butter in a deep pan and add the floured meat. Let it sizzle for a minute or two. As soon as it is lightly browned on all sides, add the onions, letting them soften for a few minutes, then the mushrooms, cutting them into quarters as you go. Pour in the reserved marinade and the stock, season with salt and pepper, cover with a lid, and let simmer for a good hour and a half, until the sauce is like a thick gravy. Let cool.
• Put the filling into a pie dish, or divide among four small dishes. Roll out the pastry, then cut off strips to cover the rim of the dish. For the large pie, you may need to put a pastry funnel, eggcup, or tumbler in the dish to hold up the pastry. Brush the rim of the dish with beaten egg and press the pastry strips into place. Now brush that with beaten egg, then lower the pastry lid or lids into place. Cut a slit in the top for the steam to escape and bake for forty to fifty minutes, until golden.

ONION PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Make onion topping:
• Heat butter and oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides, then cook onion, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in thyme, salt, and pepper, then cool. Toss cheese with onion and spread in bottom of a 9 1/2-inch deep-dish glass pie plate.
• Make crust:
• Blend flour, baking powder and soda, and salt in a food processor. Add cheese and pulse 3 or 4 times to combine. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal.
• Whisk together buttermilk and dry mustard in a small bowl and add to processor, then pulse until liquid is incorporated and dough begins to clump (do not let it form a ball).
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and fold it over on itself several times to lightly knead. Form dough into a ball and let stand, covered with plastic wrap, at room temperature 10 minutes.
• Roll out dough between 2 sheets of plastic wrap into a 10-inch round. Remove top sheet of plastic wrap and flip dough over onto onion. Peel off remaining plastic and tuck dough inside rim of pie plate.
• Bake pie in middle of oven until crust is golden brown and firm to the touch, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool pie on a rack 2 minutes, then invert a platter over pie and flip pie onto platter. Serve warm.
