Scotch pie is a traditional Scottish dish, known for its unique double-crust pastry filled with minced mutton or other meat. The pie is characterized by its round, shallow form and a distinctive hot water crust pastry, which is sturdy enough to hold its shape even when not baked in a pie tin. Historically, Scotch Pies were made with mutton, but nowadays, they can be filled with beef, lamb, or a variety of other meats, often seasoned with spices and onions to enhance the flavor. The pie's design, with a lid on top but no pastry at the bottom, allows it to be easily eaten by hand, making it a popular snack at football matches and other outdoor events in Scotland. It is also a staple item in Scottish bakeries and butchers' shops. The Scotch pie is often served with mashed potatoes, baked beans, or other accompaniments.
