Pork Pie ~ Cornish Saffron Cake
Pork Pie:
A homemade pork pie is an impressive sight, and well worth the effort that goes into making it. The traditional hot water crust pastry seems to go against all usual pastry-making laws, and whilst being quite a simple process, it feels like you’ve mastered a secret art! With a delicious spiced apple chutney on the side it makes a great snack, or serve with a hunk of bread and salad for a full meal.
Cornish Saffron Cake:
It’s uncertain why there is a tradition of making saffron cake in Cornwall - saffron was said to have been brought to the British Isles by the Phoenicians to barter in exchange for tin, but it’s unlikely that the use of saffron in everyday cooking started much before the 1600s. This sweet leavened cake is studded with raisins and served with jam and clotted cream for extra Cornish indulgence!
