Cornish Pasties image

This is a good old fashion pasty that brings back fond memories of family holidays spent in Cornwall when I was growing up. In the 18th century it was a staple diet for working men, like Miners & Farm Workers, across Cornwall because of its size & shape, which was easy to carry around, the pasty protecting the the wholesome food...

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

filling:
3/4lb. chuck steak, lean
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium carrot, chopped
2 large potatoes
2 Tbsp water or stock
salt & pepper
short pastry:
12oz. plain or self-raising flour (12 heaped tablespoons)
pinch salt
6oz. margarine
3 Tbsp water
beaten egg or milk to glaze

Steps:

  • 1. Pre-heat the oven to fairly warm - Gas Mark 6 : 400F/204C. Have ready a baking sheet & a plate or saucepan lid about 6 inches in diameter.
  • 2. Wipe the chuck. Steak with a clean, damp cloth, preferably muslin & cut into small pieces. Peel the potatoes & cut into small, diced pieces. Mix the chuck steak, potatoes, onion & carrot together in a mixing bowl with the water or stock & season well. Put to one side.
  • 3. Make the Short Pastry: Sieve the flour & salt into a mixing bowl. Rub in the margarine until it looks like fine bread crumbs. Mix in the water to form a firm dough.
  • 4. Roll out thinly & cut into round by placing the plate or saucepan lid on top the pastry & cut round with a pointed knife. Form the scraps into a ball & repeat. Place the filling in the centre of each round.
  • 5. Brush the pastry edges with water. Bring the edges up & over the filling & press gently together all round to seal. Flute the edges or fold & twist neatly with the finger tips.
  • 6. Place on the baking sheet & brush with beaten egg or milk. Bake in the pre-heated oven for 30 minutes; then turn the oven down to Gas Mark 3: 335F/168C & bake for a further 40-45 minutes.

I found these Cornish pasties to be a bit too greasy. I think I will try baking them next time instead of frying them.
