Love the idea of cinnamon in the crust, goes perfectly with the duck! The pastry looks absolutely delicious!

PS — Funny story on Pan’s Labarinth — somehow I got it into my head that it was a kid’s movie, I’m not sure how. But the movie cover didn’t really change my mind, and I didn’t read the back very closely, because I’d heard it was wonderful so I just rented it. Fifteen minutes into the movie, I’m sitting there thinking to myself, “what kind of a sick kid’s movie IS this?!?” I loved it, of course, but it was definitely not what I was expecting!

Nick – That sounds great! Happy birthday to both of you!

I’m fine with gore – Pan’s Labyrinth was the best movie I saw in the past few years, after all. But I appreciate the warning.

mr.ed – Enjoy! And thanks for the movie feedback.

Helen – It sure is. We tried all lard, and it was awful. But half lard, half butter seems just about perfect to me.

Sorina – Thank you!

ejm – I think chicken thigh meat would be a fine substitute, and definitely worth trying. I’ve tried making pie crust with olive oil, too, but while I really liked the flavor of it, I just wasn’t too impressed by the texture.

APC – Thank you so much!

I clicked through to this blog from Never Bashful With Butter, and it is GORGEOUS. I don’t even LIKE duck and now I want to go home and make a duck pot pie.

Mmmm, this sounds good! Amazingly, we have duck stock (we splashed out and had duck last night) but I doubt that we will be getting duck again soon. It’s not cheap. I wonder if using chicken thigh meat only would be a good substitute for the duck in in the filling.

Cool idea to add cinnamon to the pastry. And definitely, lard is a must for pastry too. We were lucky enough to find leaf lard at one of the local markets! I’ve tried substituting olive oil – the resulting pastry is good but just doesn’t have quite the same light and flaky quality.
