This was a really simple pie to make. Puff pastry (readymade) crust, custard and fresh raspberry filling topped with poached pears. It couldn't have looked more homemade when it came out of the oven, not helped I'm sure by my "checking the middle was cooked enough" through shaking the baking tray wildly with my eyes closed. There must be an easier way of checking something is cooked enough without having to kneel in front of the oven, receiving an involuntary hot steam facial, the ensuing watering and stinging eyes, all the while praying my arms do not meld to the oven racks.
