Traditional Cornish Pasties  HT  CD  MC English  80mins

 

See:-   History of The Cornish Pasty


Serves 4     Hot   Cold    Beef   Main Course  Pic  Picnic   England  British  Europe

 

Ingredients
450g/16oz Shortcrust Pastry
350g/12oz Skirt of Beef Steak cut into small cubes, not minced

2 large Potatoes
½  Swede
1 large Onion, peeled and thinly sliced
Plenty of Salt and Pepper

Beaten Egg

 

Instructions

 

1.  Preheat the oven to 220C, 425F, Gas Mark 7.

 

2. Peel and slice the potato and Swede into thin, small pieces about 1cm/½- inch across.

 

3. Roll out the pastry to about 6mm/¼ inch thickness then using a plate as a template, cut out 4 large circles.

 

4. Place a thin layer of the prepared vegetables on one half of each circle, making sure you leave a 2.5cm/1-inch border along the circle edge, then place a layer of beef on top and season with salt and pepper. Repeat this layer once being careful not to have too much filling which would cause the pastry to burst during the cooking process.

 

5. Fold the other half of pastry circle over the filling and squeeze the edges firmly together. Starting at the right side using first finger and thumb turn the edges over to form a crimp. Repeat this process all along the edge. Brush the pasty with beaten egg. Repeat with the remaining pasties.

 

6. Place the pasties on a baking tray and bake for about 20 minutes then reduce temperature to 170C, 325F, Gas Mark 3 and bake for a further 45-50 minutes.  Serve hot or cold with salad.
