    Just use bisto gravy made up as you normally would. Don't add too much as it could make the pastry go soggy.

  • Agree with above - only use a little bit. You can always use the extra gravy on the side or on top of your cooked pasty!

    aghhhhhhhhhhh! you dont need to put gravy in a cornish pasty! if you coat the meat in seasoned flour it will make its own gravy! jane

  • ok........... i made these for tea tonight. and apart from the meat being a bit 'chunky' (i used stewing steak) they were rather nice!!! so a bit of fried stew steak, put on a rolled out bit of puffpastry a drizzle of thick bisto on the meat, folded into a kinda envelopey square jobby and put on a floured baking tray @ 180c for 25minsish (with a slight milk coating) turns out kinda nice!!! but it needs perfecting tho.

    hi all

    Ive got about 1.3rd of a poacket of shortcrust pastry left.

    Ive just done 5 spinach feta, comte & gorgonzola ones - very nice indeed - ran out of spinach or I wouldve done more - cheese left is cheddar and a bit of gorgonzola)

    As Ive only got a small amount of pastry left can anyone think of any good storecupoard fillings? I couold probably only make 3 small ones?


    ( ive done jam tarts & mincemeat lattices out of this packet as well- so nothing sweet!)

    How about cheese and potato? I make these all the time and they are yum! My kids love cheese, potato and baked beans in pasties as well, although I would say they are a bit of an acquired taste!
