Lancashire Butter Pie - Potato & Onion Pie 

As a Lancashire lass I absolutely love Butter Pies. You had to be at the pie shop early as they always sold out quickly. Thanks Geoff, I'll be making this pie a lot. Thanks for showing us how easy it is even for new bakers like me 🙂

Mmmmm all four of my favorite things. Butter, flour, potatoes, and onions. This looks like heaven on a plate. Thanks so much for the recipe Geoff.

This looks SO yummy!!! It's definitely NOT for those of us who are working hard at losing weight!! But the day I make it, I'm eating it with my eyes closed. Fat grams and calories don't count if you can't see what you're eating!! 😁🤣 Loved the video. Thanks for sharing it with us!! ❤️

Job well done Geoff, I particularly enjoy that you show us these traditional recipes from around the UK.

Thank you. Perfectly explained and presented.

Would love to try this!!!

How wonderful Geoff! Reminds me of my time in England.

So inspiring! Love your technics, gives that can do attitude to baker's everywhere. Just awesome!

Delicious going to make this with some mustard inside and Gruyère cheese and service with some boiled gammon and extra vegetables. Thank you for another great recipe, making me hungry. X

This looks so nice and easy to do Geoff. Looks delelicious too. Thanks for the recipe. 👍👍👍

Lancashire pie is a firm favourite 😋

Thank you, Geoff, looks delicious. Would be Julia Child approved 😋👍I will make this for a family get together 👏

Looks yum 😋..... definitely gonna try it for the first time 🌝

Great easy recipe thanks mate. I'm a Lancashire lad and have always believed the birthplace of the butter pie to be Chorley. Back in the 80s I worked in the Preston/Chorley/Leyland area and discovered what I was told was the shop where the pie was original made and sold back in the 1890s. Whether this is true or not I wouldn't swear. Chorley is also famous for Chorley cakes or 'dead fy pie' as they are known locally. I live in the birthplace of another famous dead fly cake - the Eccles cake! Butter pie is my absolute favourite and I make a special trip every now and then to Chorley to get a couple. But, after seeing you make one and make it look so easy I'm definitely going to have a go.

Omg this is amazing recipe🙏🏽🎈❤️

Thank you for sharing this lovely recipe. I believe my dad will love this when I make it for him, he's from Derbyshire and I'm always trying to find nice recipes from around his neck of the woods as much as possible.

Geoff you are always out doing yourself. I know that it has to be Devine.

Hi Geoff. Hope all's well with you? My mother used to make this but I never knew what it was called. Thanks for bringing back a memory 😃 There was a version I remember from school which involved cheese, mash and onion in shortcrust pastry. I still make this but add bacon as well. Thanks again.

What an interesting recipe Geoff. I’ve never heard of Butter Pie, despite my English roots. I imagine the pie would fill you up when meat wasn’t permitted or consumed. Your plan to eat it along stir fried veggies is 👍👍

I’ve always wanted to try this pie! I’m going to veganise (coz🌱) and try this week. I love that food processor, so simple! Thanks Geoff

Grammercy for the video. I'ld love to eat this delicious food that is made without meat. Thou are very appreciated for thy work today. Grammercy again.

Dear Geoff, I have made the Lancashire Butter pie and it came out very nicely and tasted really good. I have adopted you tip and added a little cheese (more than a little actually 😀 )which gave it a salty twist and more edge. Thank you and happy baking. Eli

An excellent idea, to wrap the filling in the extra pastry by turning it onto the pie instead of leaving like a pork pie casing or trimmingit. I'll certainly be copying that with my pies from now on. Thanks for another brilliant tip. I agree that some shredded cheddar may improve it but most of these old recipes especially the pies were designed so that the family could give them to grans or their elderly people who were poor and unable to work. Not many know that when they introduced the old age state retirement fund it came with a proviso that the pensioners didn't live with their offsprings. The result was that they had to live alone in order to qualify. The national assistance for the elderly was about 10 bob or ten shillings.

Omg l would love this... Its a bit double carb for me but I'm sure it's lovely.cheese would be good to add .. Geoff hope you are, keeping well... 🥰🧅🥔🥮🧅🧀🥰

butter pie

Omg not even seen the vid yet but based on the name and photo i'm going to be making this pie haha

I'm hurtling towards my mid sixties, and had never heard of this pie before yesterday..... go figure. Love to give it a go though :)

Oh my this sounds absolutely delicious!! I have a bunch of curry. What do you think?

Does a crust with egg in it have a little more stretch than just a butter crust? I've been making meat pies with my butter crust and it crumbles too much. Or if you have another suggestion I'd appreciate it. Thank you so much

Ohh, I want some sauteed mushrooms also please

Omfg 😋😋♥️😅

That was interesting. Ignoring the frugal history of this I would have thought some Ham included would go well also.

Looks great Geoff, also so many spam bots in here :(

Low calorie then? 🤣 in all fairness- could you add cheese to this at all?
