Enjoy a slice of Ballarat this August with the return of Ballarat’s Best Pie competition.
Take your pick from more than 35 savoury and sweet pies at some of the city’s top cafes, restaurants and bakeries.
On the menu at Lydiard General is peach & Portuguese custard pie.
Think delicious warm custard and poached peaches enveloped by sweet and buttery shortcrust pastry and finished with a light dusting of icing sugar.
"With a cult following, our Portuguese tarts sell out as soon as they hit the counter," chef Kristin Jenkin said.
"It was this staple of our kitchen that we thought would make an incredibly irresistible pie."
Vote and win!
For your chance to win a luxury Ballarat weekend escape for two valued at over $3000, cast your vote for the People’s Choice Pie.
The pie with the most votes will be crowned the winner of this new category in early September.
"Taking the elements of one dessert and turning it into another, you’re expecting to bite into a gooey custard tart when you’re hit with the fresh and sweet taste of peaches!"
