Found a great recipe for Cornish Pasties. I have made pasties before but with various leftover fillings usually. These are really yummy.

 

Here is the recipe link-

And here are mine. They are very large. (I didnt stick to the quantitys and kind of made it up as I went along

They look scrummy

[chelsea]

they look fantastic and are making me drool (even though Im a vegetarian!)

 

You could make them in bulk and sell them

 

We are off to Perranporth to buy the real thing on Friday

[miffy]

look good, very similar to my recipe which has been passed down the family. We always add a small k"Ooops, word censored!" of margerine to keep filling moist, and LOTS of white pepper mmmmmm

One of my first jobs at age 14 was making pasties at the Bakery - we made the ones which are crimped on the top, and used a shortcrust pastry.

 

They do look good.

[Egluntyne]

They look divine. Will be cooking those for the family soonish.

 

Good old Daily Mail.

We love pasties here.

 

They have to have swede in them for me I love it and it gives a real good savory flavour.

 

We sometimes make a batch of 10 medium sized ones and have half for tea and the other half cold for lunch boxes the next day.

 

I must make some tomorrow I have beef skirt and pastry in the freezer and brought a couple of swedes from the allotment yesterday

[missuscluck]

Thats a good idea to make half for lunch boxes. The ones I made were way too big. Half would have done.

[Janty]

They look lovely.

I do a slight variation to this. Actually I make 2. One veggie option where Quorn is used - for this I use Trex for the cooking fat. The other I use lamb and mince it myself. All veg used are onions (cooked first in a little veg oil - if it isn't enough I add water). Then the mince is added and a little more water. Finally spuds and swede with loads of pepper add more water and stir frequently until the spuds soften slightly - serve with tortillas. The only way DS will eat swede - he loves it. DD loves her veggie version - and I get enough lef over to make 4 extra meals that go in the freezer for her.

I've added it to my recipe list of yummy things to make when I have finished losing weight :D

Ah, someone else with a veggie daughter in a house of meat eaters who uses the freezer a lot then?

 

They look great & thanks Koojie for the alternative veggie version for the awkward member of the family

[Valkyrie]

Thanks Cinnamon. I found that by using Trex, it gives the mix a similar texture/glaze to the meat option. Yes to the poor bulging freezer - make that two bulging freezers!

 

Pepper is added to your taste (I put in loads), and to cut down on oil/fat I add water.

I usually put in a little more potato than swede and cut the spuds in unequal sizes (much to DD's disgust - I would fail at her college for that ) so that some of the spuds go really squashy and others are more firm. Whatever takes your fancy really. I didn't use a recipe, I just knew what basically went into it and made it up as I went along, if they all liked it, then - WHOOHOO!

[Couperwife]

I agree

 

Laura!! its 1:30!!! what are you doing still up!!

My Auntie Mary is Cornish, born and bred and I am actually scared to try and make a pasty as hers were stupendous! I have very, very fond memories of visiting her in childhood summers and us being sent on our way home with HUGE, mouthwatering pasties that tasted like nothing else on earth.

 

I really, really should give it a go.
