Salmon Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Crust
    1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon paprika
    1/2 cup butter
    1 cup cheese, grated (your choice, I use colby or tasty)
    1/3 cup walnuts, finely chopped
    Filling
    1 (440 g) can red salmon (15 1/2 ounce)
    3 large eggs
    1 cup sour cream (reduced fat is okay)
    1/4 cup mayonnaise (whole egg is the best)
    1 small onion, finely chopped
    1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or more)
    8 -10 dashes Tabasco sauce (or to taste)
    1/2 cup cheese, grated
Preparation
    CRUST: Stir together the flour, salt and paprika, then cut in the butter, using a pastry blender if you have one.
    Stir in the cheese (1 cup) and chopped walnuts.
    Reserve 1 cup of the crumb mixture, and press the remaining mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 25cm (10-inch) pie pan.
    Set crust aside.
    FILLING: Pre-heat oven to 200\u00b0C (400\u00b0F).
    Drain salmon, reserving liquid. Remove skin and bones, and break salmon into small chunks. Set aside.
    Beat eggs in a bowl, using a rotary beater. Add sour cream, mayo, onion, dill, tabasco and reserved salmon liquid. Stir in cheese and salmon chunks.
    Spoon mixture into pie shell, and sprinkle over the reserved 1 cup of crumb mixture.
    Bake for 30 minutes or until puffy. Let stand 10-15 minutes before serving.
