Recipe tips

It’s often the small details that make the biggest impact in the kitchen, so we’re sharing the tips we rely on when cooking and creating recipes

Use cold butter when making your dough to ensure it comes out deliciously flaky.

Vent the top of your pie to prevent browned, uneven edges.

Homemade raspberry pie

Making a pie completely from scratch is so rewarding, and easier than you might think. The pastry case is simple to make and doesn’t need to be blind baked before adding the filling. You can even use frozen raspberries, so you know you can whip up this pie at a moment’s notice whenever the craving strikes.

Try different raspberry pie toppings

A classic garnish of fresh raspberries and icing sugar works beautifully, but you can also experiment with toppings. For extra crunch and flavour, scatter flaked almonds over the pie before baking. Or try a crumble topping made from flour, sugar, and butter. Simply mix the ingredients until you get a breadcrumb-like texture, then sprinkle it over the top before baking.

How to serve your raspberry pie

Let your raspberry pie cool completely before serving to allow the filling to set and hold together when you slice it. Simply serve your pie with a dollop of thick cream or some crème fraiche for a delicious finishing touch.

How to store your raspberry pie

Store your raspberry pie in the fridge, covered tightly with cling film.
