Dianne’s Cornish Game Hens

There are many good ways to prepare Cornish Game Hens. This one is very easy and delicious. Serve with rice pilaf.

Pasty Pastry for Cornish Miners’ Pasties

This goes with Recipe #230311 and makes the most outstanding pastry crust ever! Lard is the preferred “shortening” and closest to the “original” recipe. But regular shortening will work, too. Although butter would make it very rich, I’ve NEVER used butter in this. The crust is very light and flakey–but sturdy enough to hold the pasty ingredients; turns a beautiful golden-brown when brushed with milk prior to baking. This recipe can also be used for quiches (weighted down with beans) and pies.

Drunken Cornish Game Hen

More affectionately known as Beer Butt Game Hen. In the photo I have used a rinsed out coke can as I wanted to use my Arrogant Bastard Ale & it comes in a bottle… The things one must endure… Anyway, simple, easy & delicious, crispy on the outside & moist & tender on the inside, this little birdie will serve two and makes for a lovely romantic dinner (especially when you have some extra beer!!!)
