How to Prepare Cornish Beef Pasties

Let’s prepare the dough. Begin by mixing the flour and salt together. After mixing, add cold butter until the mixture looks like crumbs. Mix water and egg yolk in a bowl, then add it to the flour mixture and blend. Leave it in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Now, let’s move on to the stuffing. Start by cooking the meat until it turns brown and adding the spices you prefer. Cook the vegetables in a pan until they are almost soft. Next, sprinkle dried herbs into the beef and mix them together.

It’s time to make the pastries: Split the dough into six parts and flatten them into circles. Wet the edges of each circle, put some filling on one side, fold over, and seal them closed.

Baking instructions: Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and cover a baking tray with parchment paper or foil. Put your pastries on the baking sheet. Make small openings on the top of each one for air to get in. Brush them with beaten egg before finishing. Cook in the oven that has been heated beforehand for 35 to 40 minutes until they become brown.

If you want to save some for later. Bake them for 20 minutes before freezing. When you are ready to eat, brush each pastry with beaten egg. Cook for 20 more minutes.

Enjoy every bite as you taste all the delicious flavors in your traditional Cornish beef pasties!

Enjoy!
