I did non pay much attending to knead a overnice border for the pie. Despite that, I was pleasantly surprised that the edges puffed real nicely. In fact, the entire pastry crust emitted a overnice margarine odor as well as golden chocolate-brown colour. It complemented the fillings aptly as well as nicely. My married adult man gave me thumbs upwards but commented that it would move fifty-fifty to a greater extent than comforting if I were to role lamb cubes instead of shabu shabu mutton slices, added potatoes as well as cheese.
