method
1. Make the pastry: sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Rub in the fat until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs and add just enough water to mix to a firm dough. Cover and chill for 10 minutes.
2. Fill a pie dish with alternate layers of rabbit, bacon and vegetables, sprinkling each layer with seasoning and herbs. Half fill the dish with stock or water.
3. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface and cover the pie dish. Make a hole in the centre. Decorate with pastry trimmings, if wished, and brush with egg.
4. Bake in the oven at 220°C (425°F) mark 7 until the pastry is set, then lower the temperature to 170°C (325°F) mark 3 and cook for about 1 1/4 hours, until the meat is tender. Cover with foil if the pie starts to overbrown.
