method

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, a quarter of the butter, the vegetable shortening and half the salt.

2. Mix together with a wooden spoon until the dough has a flaky texture.

3. Add the iced water and mix until smooth.

4. Divide the dough into 2 equal portions.

5. Wrap each half in cling film and refrigerate for 3 1/2 hours.

6. Put the salmon, remaining butter, cabbage, onion, pepper, wine, mushrooms, remaining salt, egg yolks, chicken broth, lemon juice, dill and sugar into a large saucepan. Simmer for 1 hour, or until most of the liquid has evaporated.

7. Flake the salmon with a fork. Stir gently and add the chopped hard-boiled eggs. Stir gently again. Set the mixture aside.

8. Roll out half the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 2.5 cm (l in) thick. Dust with flour, and then roll the dough out into a sheet 3 mm (1/8 in) thick.

9. Trim the sheet into a rectangle 20 x 40 cm (8 x l6 in) . Repeat with the remaining dough, but trim the sheet to 25 x 40 cm (10 x 16 in) .

10. Put the smaller dough rectangle on a large, greased baking sheet.

11. Arrange the salmon filling evenly on the dough, leaving a 2.5 cm (1 in) border around the edges.

12. Put the larger dough sheet over the filling. Press the edges of the top and bottom dough sheets together with a fork. Chill for 15 minutes.

13. Preheat the oven to 205°C (400°F) Gas 6. Bake the loaf for 1 hour. Serve immediately.
