Traditional Cornish Pastie image

The original version of this recipe was found at Britain Express. For many generations wives in Corwall would make these 'Hot Pockets' of meat and vegetables, often leftovers from the previous nights supper for their miner, dock worker, etc. husbands to take to work for their noon meal. This recipe represents the traditional recipe when it was made from scratch. This recipe is not made with puff pastry but with a simple pie crust which the British call 'shortcrust pastry'. If you wish to cut corners you can use premade refrigerated pie crusts from the supermarket.

These were delicious! The filling was moist and flavorful, and the pastry was flaky and golden brown. I served them with a side of salad and they were a hit with my family.

These were a bit too oily for my taste. The filling was flavorful, but the pastry was a bit greasy. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used a vegetable filling instead of beef. The pasties were still delicious! The filling was flavorful and the pastry was nice and flaky.

These were good, but not great. The filling was a bit dry and the pastry was a bit too thick. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

My family loved these! I used ground beef and pork, and added some chopped carrots and peas to the filling. The pasties were golden brown and crispy on the outside, and the filling was moist and flavorful. Will definitely be making these again!
