Cornish Pasty
Recipe Submitted By: bakingmad
True Cornish pasties are made with chuck steak, potato and swede. Swede is an orange root vegetable, not to be confused with the white turnip) We have made proper pasty pastry which uses strong flour to make them crisp and robust, but you can of course use ready made shortcrust for speed. Traditionally the pasties are folded onto their side and the pastry crimped and rolled to make a thick ‘handle’ for Cornish Tin miners to hold when eating their lunch.

-
Place the flour in a bowl and rub in the lard and margarine until it resembles breadcrumbs Stir well then pour in 150ml of ice cold water, mixing with a knife until well mixed. If necessary add 1-2 tbsp extra water. Knead the mixture well, wrap in cling film and leave to rest for 30 minutes before using. (it is even better chilled overnight)
- Very, very finely chop the beef skirt, onions, potato and swede so that it is all finely diced into pieces about 1 cm (1/2in) , then mix it together in a large bowl with the salt and black pepper.
-
Divide the pastry into 8 balls. Roll out each one to a 12 cm circle. Place a little mixture in the centre of each . Brush one half of the edge of pastry with water then fold over the filling onto the other side and press down well to seal in the filling. Crimp the edge and repeat with the remaining pasties. Place on a baking tray.
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan160°C/gas 4 . Brush the pasties with a little beaten egg or milk to glaze then bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour until the meat and vegetables are well cooked. Eat hot, or serve cold.
- These can be frozen for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight before re heating in a hot oven

"Sorry but this is NOT a Cornish pasty. Cornish Pasties are made from Beef skirt, potato, onion and sweed. The filling is layered and seasoned with plenty of salt and white pepper."
