Sausage and Egg Pie

Something to make on a very lazy day - requires minimum effort and tastes good too! 

For the pastry 

I needed an easy recipe for making the pastry for the pie. Not a big fan of playing around with butter. Searched online and found this really simple way to make butter-less pastry. 

Ingredients

• 225g flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• pinch salt
• 4 tbsp mild salad oil
• 1/2 beaten egg
• 3 tbsp hot water
• If you're making something sweet, add a tablespoon of caster sugar

Method

• Put all the ingredients into a lidded plastic box and shake it for at least a minute. When you take off the lid, you will find a lumpy mixture; form it into a ball with your hands, and roll it out on a floured surface.
• Place the rolled out pastry onto a pie dish. I didn't have one and used a loaf tin instead.

For the filling

Ingredients:

• Onion - 1 sliced
• Green Pepper(Capsicum) - 1 sliced
• Chicken Sausages sliced- 2 cups 
• Eggs - 4
• Salt
• Pepper
• Oil - 2 tbsp

Method:

• Preheat oven to 180°C.
• Heat oil and saute the onions, green pepper and sausages till cooked. Season with salt and pepper. Add chilli powder if you want extra heat. 
• Once done, remove from flame and cool.
• Beat the eggs, add salt and pepper and mix with the sausages.
• Pour this into the pie dish lined with pastry.
• Bake for 30 minutes.
• Slice and serve!
