This Is Australia's Best Pie 2026 - you’ll never guess the flavour!

Australia's best pie for 2026 is a Malaysian prawn pie. So we went back to find out how it's made!

We first filmed with Chan and Ryan Khun, the brothers behind Country Cob Bakery in Springvale (Boronia and Kyneton), a couple of months before they won the 2026 award. The second we heard they'd taken out the title, we called them up and asked to come back. This isn't sponsored, we just genuinely wanted to see how this pie comes together.

Chan walked us through the whole process, starting with the base: onion, coconut milk, garlic, lemongrass, galangal, turmeric, ginger and a generous handful of makrut lime leaves picked fresh from home. It's a flavour built on family recipes carried through generations from Southeast Asia.

The details are what set this pie apart. Four prawns in every single one, counted by hand so no customer misses out. A silky, lump-free sauce thickened with tapioca starch. Seafood that's added late so it never turns rubbery in the oven.

We tried it fresh out of the oven and it did not disappoint. Creamy curry sauce, big chunks of prawn, a gentle chilli heat that builds with every bite. Easy to see why it won.

Get down to Country Cob Bakery in Springvale, Boronia or Kyneton to try it yourself, or order online.
