The British Pie Awards Entries Close 10th April




The British Pie Awards ENTRIES CLOSE ON 10TH APRIL
High Profile judges confirmed.

Can you taste the excitement?!  The British Pie Awards are into the last few days of entry submission – entry deadline is 10th April with judging taking place on 24th April in Melton Mowbray, the UK’s rural capital of food.   Pie makers  are urged to hurry their entry forms to the organisers immediately to avoid disappointment!

The high profile awards are a national celebration of Pie Making – and with last year’s tally of pies entered totalling just over 900,  the UK’s professional chefs, butchers and bakers truly put on a great show.  Winners of the 20+ classes consider the prize to be a  highly sought after accolade for their businesses.

The organisers are thrilled to welcome back high profile judges such as Charles Campion, Phil Vickery, Xanthe Clay and Rachel Green – and adding to the alumni of expert pie tasters this year will be Guardian Weekend food editor Bob Granleese,  Lucas Hollweg of Sunday Times Style and Richard Ford of renowned food industry title The Grocer.

This year's awards are set to be as tasty as ever - and as a special addition to the Speciality Pie Class, and as a nod to the extraordinary find of King Richard III in  Leicestershire (home of Melton Mowbray), the organisers are inviting pie makers to enter their 'King Of Pies'.  Any pie which the entrant deems extra special and fit for a king can be entered into this class for 2013.

The 2013 awards take place in Melton Mowbray on the 24th April. The top 3 pie makers from each class will be invited to an all new Awards Pie Lunch on Thursday 25th April, where the class winners and Supreme Champion will be announced.

A recipe for perfect Yorkshire pudding

Image
A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes. As long as you follow a few simple rules then you should have a perfect pudding every time. To make the batter you will need. 125g/8oz plain flour 300ml/¾ pint milk 2 eggs Pinch of salt Some vegetable oil. Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid . Take you flour and sift it in to a bowel to make sure that you do not get any lumps. Then make a well in the middle and crack your eggs in to that. Now taking a whisk start to work the eggs in to the flour. It will start to from a thick paste. If you think that it is getting to hard to work then...
