Hot water crust is a type of pastry used for savoury pies , such as pork pies , game pies and , more rarely , steak and kidney pies . Hot water crust is traditionally used for making hand - raised pies . As the name suggests , the pastry is made by heating water , melting the fat in this , bringing to the boil , and finally mixing with the flour . This can be done by beating the flour into the mixture in the pan , or by kneading on a pastry board . Either way , the result is a hot and rather sticky paste that can be used for hand - raising : shaping by hand , sometimes using a dish or bowl as an inner mould . As the crust cools , its shape is largely retained , and it is filled and covered with a crust , ready for baking . Hand - raised hot water crust pastry does not produce a neat and uniform finish , as there will be sagging during the cooking of the filled pie . This is generally accepted as the mark of a hand - made pie . It is possible , however , to bake the pastry in a mould , as with other pies . The pastry is often used to make pork pies , and the pastry allows a wet filling to be held in .
