Method
Step 1
Make the pastry and leave it to chill in the fridge for at least a couple of hours to firm up the dough. Preheat the oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/Gas 6.
Step 2
Bring a saucepan of water to the boil and add salt. Add the celeriac and swede and blanch for 2 minutes, then drain them and put them in a bowl. Leave them to cool completely, then add the onion, cheese, mushroom ketchup and sage. Season with salt and pepper and mix thoroughly.
Ingredients for this step
- 100gCeleriac (finely chopped)
- 100gSwede (finely chopped)
- 1Small onion (finely chopped)
- 50gCheddar cheese (reduced fat, grated)
- 1 tspMushroom ketchup
- 1/2 tspDried sage
- Pinch ofSea salt
- Pinch ofBlack pepper (freshly ground)
Step 3
Divide the dough into 8 pieces and roll each piece into a circle with a 12–13cm diameter – about the size of a saucer. Divide the filling into 8 portions. Take a circle of pastry and place a portion of filling in a line along the middle of the circle. Brush the exposed pastry with the beaten egg, then bring the 2 halves
together, and seal, crimping the edges Cornish-pasty style. Repeat to make all the pasties, then brush them with beaten egg and place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper.Ingredients for this step
- 1Egg (beaten, for sealing & glazing)
Step 4
Bake the pasties in the oven for about 45 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and crisp. Transfer the pasties to a cooling rack to cool down so the underside of the pastry doesn’t go soggy. Nice hot or cold.
