Wow, I wouldn't have thought of grating the butter! Definitely trying that out next time I make a crust. :D

If I looked as young as your mother at 76 I'd be extremely happy! Thanks so much for this .

I would like to thank you and your mum. I would like to thank you for understanding the importance of passing this along. I would very much like to thank your mum for actually passing it along. It's priceless. No, seriously.

For non vegetarians, use lard. It makes a big difference. All flaky pastry in general comes out better using lard.

Nice video! Good contribution to YT videos... I'm following the receipt in Brazil!!!

English cooking is so under rated!!! Can your mum give us a yorkshire pudding recipe - using beef drippings? Thank you for posting

[Bibagirl63]

I will try your recipe - but I have a question - can you use all butter?

My husband is English and I'm American, we lived in London for years and loved to go to Cornwall on holiday. If I can turn out an authentic pasty, he will be so happy! It was very helpful to see a demonstration. Thank you for posting.

@Bibagirl63 Try half lard and half butter -- the melting point of butter is lower than lard, so doing all butter would probably change the consistency.

is it self raising flour, what flour is used to make cornish pasties...

[martintennant]

no use plain flour

for 2 pasties 8oz plain flour 3oz mixed fat marg/lard 1/2 tsp salt

76?! She looks younger than my mum! They must be a whole lot of goodness in those pasties! ;)

[katiscaligari]

Thank you so much for this! I'm American, so I've never had a pasty before, and I can't wait. They look like the tastiest thing in the world. (I think I'm going include carrots, though!)

I'm making these tomorrow for a home-sick Englishman. Thanks for the recipe!

[nikkomyers]

They look fantastic!

[merciasound]

But it isn't a cornish pastie without meat!!

[tracygrway]

Delightful! My pasties are in the oven right now - thanks for the inspiration.

[Jonsticks]

I am normally used to the Finnish-American Pasties, but when trying the Cornish ones, I like the Cornish ones better. Don't tell anyone though!

[goby999]

I just told my Finnish grandmother. She's ticked.

The dear of 'er. I always struggle with the pastry, I've never managed to get the right fat ratio (mine shaft proof). My Gran used to travel from Truro to Lincoln in the 70's with a special pasty making plate in her suitcase , she used it to cut out the pastry. All Grans pasties were the same size! Wish I'd payed more attention..but now I'm saved.

[agoodlife666]

Your mum is great. You are very lucky to have her.

[graceyomalley]

'ow dun e get somethin' bigger to measure the flour my 'andsome ? tis some boring.

[justinelmills]

Hi Martin, it is great to see Aunty Di's traditional cooking skills being publicized. And useful too! I will be sending it on to Cornish pasty fiend friends!! I will keep an eye out of for future documentaries.
