Consisting of a meat and veggie-packed pocket, the dough is perfectly buttery and flaky – without being overwhelmingly so – and excellent for an on-the-go lunch or snack. Recipe by 12Tomatoes, but as close to authentic as I’ve found.
Make and share this Cornish Pasties 2 recipe from Food.com.
The original version of this recipe was found at British Express. I have increased the amount of salt and pepper for better flavors. The amount of seasonings with the combination of these ingredients is what makes this pastie so good.
Originating in Cornwall, the Cornish pasty is sold all over the UK, in supermarkets, bakers, and pubs – it’s the perfect take-out (or, as they say there, take-away) food. This recipe was published by the Vegetarian Society for National Vegetarian Week 2006, and I’m passing it on to Zaar for our 6th World Tour! Enjoy, and remember to pronounce with a long ‘a’ in ‘pastie’, like ‘fast’, which is how they’ll be devoured 😉
I saw these made on television last night and the recipe really intrigued me. They were originally made by wives for their husbands to take to work out in the fields or mines. They are a whole meal-in-one pastry making them both sweet and savory. Maybe they are the original TV dinner LOL. The crust would be more authentic and tastier using lard, but taste better using the lard/butter combo. The wives would also make some of the pastry into letters and apply to the top of the clanger their husband’s initials so they were easy to identify. They can be made with chicken as well.
