Cut a small hole into the centre of the pastry to release the steam, then egg wash all over and sprinkle with sea salt flakes.
- Place the pie in the oven on top of the preheated baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes then lower the temperature to 150 fan for a further 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool completely and then refridgerate before slicing.
