Cornish Pasty

Guess what I'm making today?!?! PASTIES... the edible kind, not the other kind... sorry boys :P

So this is my take on the Cornish Pasty, usually it's made with skirt steak, but I only had ground meat...

Apparently carrots is a big no-no when making this, so I didn't add any! D;
I used a short crust pastry mix that I made a while ago (I just put them in containers and freeze them) I don't know where my recipe is cuz I'm moving and everything is misplaced, but from what I remember is that you use **half the amount of fat to the flour ratio** (don't use self- rising):

[Short Crust Pastry]
3C AP flour
1 ½ C butter/ lard/ shortening
¼ tsp salt
cold water

-You can semi-freeze your butter and grate it into the flour, or just use a pastry cutter and cut until it looks mealy
-Create a small well in your mix and add a spoon full of cold water at a time**
-With a fork bring the flour mixture into the water until a ball forms (water, mix, water, mix, etc)
-Put it in the fridge for a bit so it's easier to roll... then it's ready!

[Cornish Pasties]
onions, fine dice
rutabaga/ swede/ turnip, fine dice
potatoes, fine dice
skirt steak, cubed (or lamb/ ground beef)
salt & pepper

-either make your own pastry crust or use store bought
-roll out into 9" rounds
-layer ingredients in the middle
-season with s&p
-wet the edges and crimp
-brush egg wash on the pasties before putting them in the oven (375 F for 45 mins)

The reason carrots are NOT put into pasties in Cornwall, because, carrots are not grown in Cornwall. Carrots don't do well in Cornish soil, so they are not put in pasties.

@Magister365 Thanks for the info! :)

Why are carrotts a "big nono"? LOL that made me laugh. My grandmother was british and always used carrots! I think she would have been more upset about the ground beef :) I think it tastes good with ground beef personally... and your egg wash... try just using the yolk.. it browns nicer :)

[emiiidesu]

@AnneGirlCarrots I don't know! But every recipe told me not to use carrots >_<" Trust me, if I was making this again, I would have thrown a whole bunch of random things in ;p but I tried to keep it traditional-ish

I was wondering if you were on google+ so I can add you to my circle of friends. If not, would you like an invite? Just send me your email.

[emiiidesu]

@PlatypusGuitar No I'm not... what is that anyways ? Is it trying to be the new FB or something?

[emiiidesu]

Yummy, Yummy some Hornish Pasty Making (Not to insult the Cornish) ;)

[igotes]

It's nice to see someone from another country making pasties... I don't think they're very well known outside the UK. Your crimping is actually pretty good.

[lazycarper]
