Recipes For Home Made Pasties

Saw a recipe in the latest Good Food Mag for scotch egg pasties. Might be worth going on to the bbc good food .com web-site and searching.

I don't often use recipes, i make it up as i go along, last time i tried pasties, i did a sort of mix as if it were a vege burger, with different lentils and pulses, then added peas ; carrots; potatoes; onions, and i added a tin of corned beef. then put some flavourings , cumin; garlic; paprica whatever you fancy.
And i tried some similar ones but replaced the cornbeef with tinned fish, they were'nt as good though.

The trouble with my system, if they are nice, i can't remember exactly what i did.

I love sausage, bean and cheese melt.

Empty a tin of beans into the pastry case, scatter some chopped, cooked sausages and top it all with grated cheese. Cover with pastry and cook till pastry is golden.

My husband loves this!!

Hi all, I wonder if I might have some advice?
I'm planning to make 'cornish' and cheese and onion pasties to go into my dd's lunch box and so am wanting to do mini ones as shes only 4. I am hoping to use puff pastry but don't know how thin I am able to roll it without it falling to bits and I want there to be a good amount of filling in ratio to pastry (especially as its going to contain disguised vegetables!),does anyone know?
I'm going to cook the fillings before putting into the pastry but then want to freeze the pasties. Should I cook them before freezing or freeze with the pastry raw? Will I need to defrost before cooking the day before she takes them?
Thanks for any advice you may have. I do home cook a lot but have never made anything like this and am hoping I don't end up with an inedible disaster.

you might find some useful ideas for fillings and a couple of good links in this thread

I've only ever made pasties with shortcrust pastry, and rolled that out to 1/4 inch thickness.

Pasties will freeze well, I would freeze uncooked as cooked pastry can be a bit fragile; I'd cook from frozen and you can cook more than one at a time as they'd keep for 2 or 3 days in the fridge

If you look on the economy gastronomy page of the BBC they did a pasty recipe. Alternatively, mail me and I will mail you the recipe as I treated myself to the cook book. !

It's great when you finally have some success. Hopefully this will spur you on & give you more confidence to make other things that you thought were too hard.
