Our Cornish Pasties are perfect for an end of summer picnic, so this we are sharing our recipe to make 8 delicious pasties π
Top oven temperature: 220Β°C
Ingredients:
Pastry - this needs to be made 24 hrs in advance:
455g plain flour
85g butter
150g lard
8-10 tbsp water
1 tsp Salt
Filling:
300g potato
150g swede
200g white onion
455g beef skirt
2 eggs
Salt, black cracked pepper and white pepper
Method:
1. Make sure the butter and lard are cold. Weigh out and cut into small cubes, keep chilled if not using straight away.
2. In a mixing bowl place the flour, salt, butter and lard and mix until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add the water a little at a time and bring together to form a ball. You donβt need to knead this pastry, simply wrap in cling film and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
3. Chop the potato, swede, onion, and beef skirt into small cubes. Try to keep all the ingredients the same size, this will help them cook evenly. Mix and season well, ready for filling the pastry.
4. To assemble the pasty cut the dough into 8 even sized balls. Using a rolling pin roll one ball out into a 18cm circle.
5. Place one-eighth of the pasty filling into the centre of the rolled pastry, now lift both sides of the pastry up and around the filling, press the edges of the pastry together to create a seal.
6. To crimp the seal, starting at one end and roll the seal over itself in small sections until you get to the other end, this should leave you with a nice rolled wave effect.
7. Place the pasties onto a lined greaseproof tray and space out evenly.
8. Crack the eggs into a cup and beat to create egg wash. Brush each pastie with the egg wash and place the tray on the lowest position of the top oven, bake for 1 hour.
