How do you stop pastry sinking when making steak pie?
To prevent pastry from sinking in a steak pie, ensure that the pastry is properly chilled before use, as warm pastry is more likely to shrink. Additionally, blind bake the pastry for a short time before adding the filling; this helps firm it up and creates a barrier against moisture. You can also use pie weights or dried beans during blind baking to keep the pastry from puffing up or shrinking. Finally, avoid overworking the dough, as this can develop gluten and lead to shrinkage.

What does the term baking blind mean when cooking pastry?
Blind baking of pastry is partly or wholly pre-baking the pastry pie shell before putting in the filling. Usually it is done with the base of the shell pricked and with some dried beans laid inside on non-stick paper to weigh down the base to prevent it rising. (Some people keep a jar of beans aside for this purpose as they aren't much use for anything else afterwards.)

Why is it important to keep everything cool as possible when making pastry?
The function of the water is to hydrate the flour so that it becomes soft and maliable and can be shaped and rolled. It should be cold so that the fat in the dough doesn't begin to melt until the pastry is baked. As it bakes, the fat melts and creates the layers in the pastry. If it melts before baking it blends with the dough and won't form flaky layers.
