As always, there are a few ways you can alter the recipe. First, I use tuna in water, but you can use tuna in oil if you wish. Try to use a fairly good quality tuna, as it will make all the difference in the world.

Additional Notes for the Recipe:
Pastry Options: You can use store-bought pie crusts for convenience, or if you prefer a homemade touch, try making your own pastry dough using a simple recipe with flour, butter, salt, and cold water.
Tuna Varieties: Choose your preferred type of tuna for the filling. Canned tuna in water or oil works well, but you can also use fresh tuna if available. Adjust the seasoning accordingly based on the tuna's natural flavor.
Flavor Enhancers: Don't be afraid to experiment with additional ingredients to elevate the taste. Consider adding diced onions, minced garlic, chopped bell peppers, or even a touch of chili flakes for a hint of heat.
Cheese Lover's Twist: For an extra indulgent variation, sprinkle grated cheese, such as cheddar or mozzarella, over the tuna filling before sealing the pies. The melty cheese will add a delicious layer of gooeyness.
Egg Wash: Brushing the pastry crust with an egg wash before baking will give it a beautiful golden color and a glossy finish. To make an egg wash, whisk together an egg and a splash of milk or water until well combined.
Serving Suggestions: Serve your tuna pies hot, straight out of the oven, with a side salad or steamed vegetables. They also pair well with dipping sauces like tartar sauce, salsa, or even a zesty lemon aioli.
Remember, recipes are meant to be personalized, so feel free to adapt and adjust the ingredients and seasonings to suit your taste preferences. Enjoy the process of creating these delectable tuna pies and let your creativity shine in the kitchen!

---------------------------------------
????????????????????????????????????????????
1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour (plus extra for rolling out the dough)
1 tablespoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter (cold), cut into cubes
5 tablespoons ice-cold water
METRIC
170 g flour
12 g sugar
1g salt*
113g unsalted butter*
75g water
*or use salted butter and leave out salt
????????????????????????????????????????????????
Place flour, sugar and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a few times to combine.
Add butter. Process on low until the butter and flour start to combine.
Add 5 tablespoons very cold water. Pulse about 8 to 10 times. The dough should feel dry when you run your fingers through it, but should hold together in a ball when you squeeze it in your hand.
Spread a large piece of plastic wrap on the counter (approximately 1 1/2 feet long). Gently dump the dough (it will be crumbly) onto plastic wrap. Pull plastic wrap together around the dough and mold it with your hands so the dough forms a disc inside the wrap. Refrigerate dough for at least 30 minutes.
When you are ready to roll out the crust, remove dough from refrigerator, unwrap and let sit at room temperature for about 5 or 10 minutes.
Use your hands to flatten the dough slightly so it will be easier to roll out. Toss some flour on your countertop. Place the flattened dough in the center. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a circular shape that has about the same thickness all the way around. After each roll, turn the dough ¼ turn clockwise in order to keep it from sticking. Continue rolling and turning until the circle is evenly rolled out. Once the dough is large enough to fit your pie plate, gently place in the pie plate with edges hanging over. Gently press the dough into the bottom of the plate. Using your hands, tuck any dough that overhangs the plate into an even edge.
Use your hands to even the edge if needed. Finally, crimp the edges with your fingers for a decorative scalloped shape. Wrap in saran wrap and store crust in freezer for up to 1 month. When you are ready to bake a pie, simply remove the pie crust and pie plate from the freezer, let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes, add the filling and bake. Baking the crust from frozen will help the pie crust keep its shape as it bakes.
