This was something I have not had since childhood, so I was dying to make it. Although I do not eat organ meats any longer, I made two smaller pies - one for my father and one for my boyfriend. They both agreed that it was pretty tasty. After the meat had simmered for 1 hour, I added the mushrooms and carrots to the skillet, then stirred in the flour and water. I then poured the mixture in my baking dishes and cooked for about 30 minutes. I had a little trouble with my crust (it was a hot day and the dough was getting too soft as I was rolling it out). Thanks for sharing this trip down memory lane. Made for ZWT6.
