Ingredients for Cornish Pasty:
Method of preparing the Cornish Pasty:
-
In a small saucepan, cover the carrots with water. Bring the water to a boil and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Leave them to cool and then slice them.
-
Sift the flour, salt, and baking powder together in a bowl. Add butter, and rub to the consistency of coarse crumbs. Mix in the 1/2 cup water. If the dough is too sticky, add some more flour.
-
Roll the dough out until it’s about 1/4-inch thick. Cut out six circles, each about 5 inches round. Don’t stretch the dough.
-
Mix the meat, onions, and potatoes together, and add the salt and pepper to taste. Cover half of each pastry base with the filling. Moisten the pastry edges, and fold the pastry over the filling. Press the edges together with a fork.
-
Transfer the pastries to a baking sheet, brush the tops with milk, and make a small slit in each top to allow steam to escape.
-
Bake at 450°F (230°C) for 10 minutes. Turn the oven down to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 35 minutes.
