Cornish Pasty
What You Need:
  • 1 tablespoon butter, softened

    PASTRY
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1½ cups lard (¾ pound), chilled and cut into ¼-inch bits
  • 8 to 10 tablespoons ice water

    FILLING
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped white or yellow turnips
  • 2 cups finely diced lean boneless beef, preferably top round
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped onions
  • 2 cups finely diced potatoes
  • 1½ teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten

  • How To Cook:
    1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Using a pastry brush, coat a large baking sheet with the 1 tablespoon of softened butter. Set aside.

    PASTRY:
    1. In a large chilled bowl, combine the flour, salt and lard. Working quickly, rub the flour and fat together with your fingertips until they look like coarse meal.

    2. Pour in 8 tablespoons of ice water all at once, toss together, and gather the dough into a ball. If the dough crumbles, add up to 2 tablespoons of water, 1 teaspoonful at a time, until the particles adhere.

    3. Dust the pastry with a little flour and wrap it in wax paper. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

    4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle about ¼ inch thick. With a pastry wheel or sharp knife, cut the dough into 6-inch rounds using a small plate or pot lid as a guide.

    5. Gather the scraps together into a ball, roll it out again, and cut it into 6-inch rounds as before.

    FILLING:
    1. With a large spoon, toss the turnips, beef, onions, potatoes, salt and pepper together. Place about ¼ cup of the mixture in the center of each pastry round.

    2. Moisten the edges of the rounds with a pastry brush dipped in cold water, then fold the rounds in half to enclose the filling completely. Press the seams together firmly and crimp them with your fingers or the tines of a fork.

    3. Place the pasties on the baking sheet, and cut two slits about 1 inch long in the top of each. Brush lightly with the beaten egg and bake in the middle of the oven for 15 minutes.

    4. Reduce the heat to 350°F and bake for 30 minutes, or until the pasties are golden brown. Serve hot or at room temperature.

    To Make: 16 six-inch pasties
