Cornish pasties

Ladies and Gents

The Kitchen With Absolutely No Boarder is happy to present The Cornish Pasty!

After a week in Plymouth (England), it was obvious for me that I would experiment the creation of Cornish Pasties.
The cornish pasty is a food specialty from Cornwall that my taste buds (=papilles) fell in love with!

I would like to thank my dear hostess in Plymouth, Hilary, who reserved a warm welcome for us.

Thank you Hilary =) 

I had the great pleasure to be introduced to your kitchen and this great dish that the Cornish Pasty is! I really enjoyed the breakfasts you prepared, especially the fig jam. 

I made this recipe 4 times!! Cornish pasty addict!

INGREDIENTS 

I followed the recipe on this site

• For the Pastry
• 4 oz/110g all purpose/plain flour
• Pinch of salt
• 2oz/ 55g butter, cubed
• 2-3 tbsp cold water
• For the Filling
• 50g onion, finely chopped
• one potato, cut into small pieces
• one turnip, cut into small pieces 
• rump steak, cut into small cubes
• Salt and pepper
• 1 egg, lightly beaten

Put the dough in the fridge for at least 15 min

A friend told me that you can roll the pastry out with an egg, it would help you to shape the dough as a circle... Well... I'm better with a roll pin!!

It was quite delicate to pinch the pastry to close the pasty... That's one of the reasons I tested the recipe 4 times!

Heat in oven 200° - 40 min
