Traditional Cornish Pasty Recipe
The Crantock Bakery Traditional Cornish Pasty
Makes four medium pasties
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 60 minutes

For the pastry

400g plain flour
100g chilled butteror margarine, cubed
100g chilled lard, cubed
A pinch of salt.
For the filling

450g beef skirt or chuck steak
1 large onion, finely chopped
200g swede, peeled and sliced into small pieces
200g potatoes, peeled and sliced into small pieces
Knob of Cornish butter
Freshly ground black pepper
Method.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C. Make the pastry first, then while it is resting in the fridge, prepare the filling.

To make the pastry

Season the flour and sift into a large bowl. Add the lard, butter and margarine and using your fingers work into the flour until it forms the consistency of fine breadcrumbs. Sprinkle with cold water, a tablespoonful at a time, and mix until a stiff dough is formed. Gently knead the dough on a floured work surface, then wrap in clingfilm and leave to rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.

To make the filling

Peel and finely slice the potatoes, onion and swede. Slice the beef into small, thin pieces.
To assemble your pasty

Cut the pastry into four pieces and roll out each piece on a lightly floured surface. Each piece should be circular, 20 to 25 cm in diameter, and between 3 and 4 mm thick. Place a plate on the pastry and cut around for a neat circle, keeping the trimmings for your initials.

Layer equal amounts of the vegetables in the centre of each pastry circle, and then put the meat on top. Season with salt and pepper.

Brush the edges of the pastry with water, fold one sideover to make a half-moon or D shape, and crimp togetherbetween the forefinger and thumb of one hand and forefinger of the other to create a seal along the side of the pasty.Add your initials cut from the trimmings.

Place on a baking tray, brush with a milk or beaten egg glaze, and cook for an houruntil the pastry is golden and the filling cooked through.

You sound quite keen on getting some back-door action... what you do in private is your own business.

Hope you find the man you're looking for.
