My Grandma, in her kitchen (which hasn't changed since about 1945), teaching me how to make Cornish pasties.
It's not your 'official' traditional recipe - I think she's amended it a bit over the years - but she learned it directly from her mother-in-law who was the wife of a Cornish tin miner.
Grandma rules!

  • What a fun video. I felt like I was hanging out with your family for dinner :)

  • Your grandma's great! I love the ending, and I'm glad you did what she said!

  • Nothing beats food lovingly prepared by family.

  • Sorry to moan, but that aint a proper cornish pasty. The crimping needs to be on the side so you can hold it! not on the top.

  • Apparently Cornish miners populated the four corners of the world taking their skills they learned in the tin industry.

  • tidy looking pastie there

  • Those pasties look delicious! Love 'em! I grew up in Michigan, where alot of Cornish miners emigrated and brought the pasty recipes with them. They are very popular there. Now I am in Florida, no pastie shops! I have to make my own, but love to watch others make them. Thanks for the upload.

  • Many thanks as I was looking for an example of pasties being made. I found a recipe for squirrel pasties. Can't wait! 2:50 - Ha, ha, ha! Gotta love moments like that.

  • I use pastry flour, it is better and tastes great.
