Traditional Cornish Pasty
From Barbara Hearn
For one medium size pasty:-
4 oz Short crust pastry
Onion and/or turnip (sliced)
3-4 oz meat (skirt to best chuck steak)
1 medium size potato (sliced)
Seasonings
Method:
Roll pastry into a round. Ingredients should be sliced in layers with
meat on top. Season with pepper and salt. Damp edges. Fold over and
crimp edges (crimping by pinching the pastry with the left hand and
fold over with the right hand, forming a rope like effect on the side
of the pasty).
Place on a baking sheet and bake at 425°F/220°C for 10-12 minutes,
reducing to 350°F/175°C for a further 30 minutes.
