Steps:
- Peel and cut up potatoes and boil until soft.
- Finely dice them and finely dice the corned beef.
- Heat the butter in a frying pan until melted and add the corned beef and potato. Warm through for 5-10 mins and then mash up. (Roughly. You do not need it completely smooth! Can leave it as a chunky as preferred)
- Add salt and pepper and leave to cool.
- Preheat the oven to 200degrees.
- Roll out the pastry to approx 2mm thickness.
- Cut around a small side plate or saucer (approx 6").
- Fill one half of the circle with the mixture leaving a margin around the edge.
- With a pastry brush paint egg around the margin and close the pasty by folding the other half of the circle over.
- Seal shut by crimping (pushing down with your finger tips) all the way around the edges.
- Place the finished pasty on a lined baking tray and brush the top with more egg.
- NB: You do not need to prick holes.
- I have been told you can't re-roll puff pastry, but I can't see waste, so I did and it all turned out fine! So, repeat as many times as you can and then scrunch all your leftovers together, re-roll and cut out as many more as you can! I managed 10, depending on the size of your cut outs you may get more or less.
- Bake until golden brown (approx 20 mins) and then leave to cool on a wire rack.
- These are just as yummy cold the next day as they are warm, fresh from the oven!

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. If using shop-bought pastry, take it out of the fridge to reach room temperature while you prepare the vegetables and meat.
- Peel and roughly chop the potatoes, onion and swede into ¼cm cubes. Trim the beef of any fat or sinew, then cut into small strips and chunks. Season well and divide both the meat and vegetables into six equally sized portions.
- Roll the pastry into a log and cut into six equal pieces. Knead and lightly stretch or roll each piece into 20cm-wide circles. Layer on the beef and veg, slightly to one side. Keep harder textures like swede in the middle, followed by potato then beef towards the edges. This will prevent anything piercing the dough when crimping.
- Add two knobs of the butter per pasty and a light sprinkling of flour to thicken the gravy inside and prevent soggy bottoms. Lightly wet your fingertips and dampen the edges of each pasty, then gently fold one end over the filling to enclose it. Keeping your fingers slightly damp, crimp the edges.
- Put the pasties on a baking tray covered with a sheet of baking parchment, then cut two small slits into the top of each. Brush with beaten egg and cook for 10-15 mins. When starting to brown, turn the oven down to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and cook for further 45 mins until golden. Leave to cool for at least 10 mins before serving.

Tips:
- To make the perfect pastry, use a light hand when mixing the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
- If you don't have time to make your own pastry, you can use store-bought puff pastry.
- For the best flavor, use high-quality corned beef. Look for corned beef that is well-marbled and has a deep red color.
- If you don't have any corned beef, you can use deli-sliced roast beef or ham.
- Don't overfill the pasties. If you do, they will be difficult to seal and the filling will leak out.
- Bake the pasties until they are golden brown and the filling is cooked through. This will take about 30 minutes.
- Serve the pasties warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Corned beef pasties are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover corned beef. With a little planning, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal on the table in no time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give corned beef pasties a try.
