  • Here is my recipe for HM cornish pasties.......sorry its taken a day or two:rolleyes:

    Pastry

    8oz Plain flour
    2oz lard
    2oz butter

    Filling

    12oz chuck steak
    1 chopped onion
    2 diced potatoes
    7oz turnip diced
    1 large carrot diced
    s and p
    1 beaten egg


    set oven to 200c. Cover a baking sheet with greaseproof.
    Rub fat into flour until like breadcrumbs and add cold water until a firm dough is formed. Wrap in cling film and put in fridge to rest for half an hour.

    Roll out pastry and cut into 4 circles the size of tea plates. You may need to do this in two stages.
    mix the other ingredients together and season.
    put a pile of mixture into the middle of each circle. brush beaten egg around the edge of the pastry and pull edges together and crimp.
    cook on the baking sheet for 20 mins then turn oven down to 150c and cook for further 45 mins.
