Cooking Instructions

<p><b>Crust</b></p><p>This is a pie crust. Trust me. Put the shortening in the mixing bowl
first, and slowly add the flour until you’ve worked it all in, and
you’ve got a pile of small greasy lumps. Add the water half at a time
and mix until you can’t. Then squish with your hands until you get a
ball of dough and there’s no loose flour in the bottom of the bowl.
Split the ball in roughly half and roll out the slightly larger half on
flour-sprinkled parchment paper until it’s about 4cm bigger than your
pie pan. Flip that thing into the pie pan, punch some holes in the
bottom with a fork, and bake @ 180C/350F for about ten minutes. While
it’s baking, roll out the other half the dough to about the size of your
pie pan and leave it.</p><p><b>Filling</b></p><p>Microwave the broccoli for ~6m, until it stops being frozen. Mix the
spice and flour into the cheese. Put half the onion into the bottom of
the pie crust, then add broccoli, then add the other half the onion.
Fill in the gaps with cheese. Put the top crust on and fold the edges
under, pressing them with a fork. Bake at @ 180C/350F

for ~30m. TADA! It’s a pie.</p>
