Tips:

Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better your pasty will be. Look for fresh, seasonal produce and high-quality meat.
Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make it tough. Mix it just until it comes together, then let it rest for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
Crimp the edges of the pasty well: This will help to keep the filling from leaking out.
Bake the pasty until it is golden brown: This will ensure that the crust is cooked through and the filling is hot and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Diane's pasty is a delicious and hearty meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover meat and vegetables. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this classic Cornish dish at home.
