Carrot Cruncher said:A Typical Cornish Pasty Recipe
Shortcut Pastry:
225 gm. plain flour
115 gm. fat (mixture of lard and butter)
A pinch of salt
The Filling:
225 gm. steak cut into small cubes
2 or 3 large potatoes
1 piece of turnip or swede
1 onion, peeled and chopped
Salt and pepper
The Method:
Sift the flour with the salt, rub in the fat, and mix to a pliable consistency with some water. Leave to rest for half an hour.
Roll out half the pastry into a round about 5 mm. thick (quarter of an inch).
Peel and slice the potatoes thinly onto the center of round to form a base for the rest of the filling.
Slice the turnip thinly over the potato, then spread the beef on top.
Add a little onion, season with salt and pepper.
Dampen the edge of the circle of pastry with water to help seal it. Bring together the edges to make a parcel with the filling in the center.
There should be a neat pastry parcel. If you do get any holes, patch them with a little extra pastry. You can make the pastry neater by crimping the edges. Fold over the edge to make it slightly thicker, then squeeze tightly every 2 cms. to make a neat pattern along the edge.
Put the pastry on a piece of buttered paper, make a small slit on top to let the steam brush the top with a little milk, and put it on a greased baking tray.
Bake it in a pre-heated oven at 200C (gas mark 6) for 30 minutes, reduce the heat to 190C (gas mark 5) and cook another 30 minutes.
You can make the pastry as a starter, by making it smaller. Use a saucer as a template to get the size.

Shall I remind you that you asked me to remove the avatar as it was copyrighted. Not because it was you. I'll say it again - you asked it to be removed because it was a copyrighted image. You've not provided any proof of that yet.
I then asked if you'd asked him to remove it. You confirmed you had not.
Simultaneously you were seeking to provoke DP by setting your custom title and seeking out a picture of DP to set as your own avatar.
(And what you don't know, of course, is the PM I had immediately sent to DP requesting him to not knowingly set his avatar to the picture of another NSC user unless he could provide me with proof of permission.)
Happy Seagull said:Ok maybe not 100% true about you. But it remains a fact my request was denied.
