It is made by placing an uncooked filling, typically meat and vegetables. I am going to show you how to make the most AMAZING homemade Cornish pasty, a true British classic!

The Cornish pasty is known and loved throughout Great Britain and Ireland and comes from Pasties may no longer be the food of tin miners, but they are one of the nation's favorite snack or lunch foods. I find Cornish pasties often have too much pastry and not enough filling. However, the traditional filling of steak, potato and turnip is so delicious I now make one big pie using this filling - which is also a lot. Felicity Cloake: Traditional recipes call for shortcrust pastry encasing beef, potatoes, swede and onion - but do you prefer cheese and onion, chicken and vegetable or even a clanger or a bridie?

Steps to make Cornish Pasties:

1. For the Pastry:
2. Mix dry ingredients into a large bowl. Add in the butter and shortening in small chunks. Mix on a stand-up mixer with a pastry extension tool. Mix on a lower setting until it becomes a uniform dough.
3. The dough should be covered with a towel and placed in the refrigerator for about 4 hours. Longer is okay.
4. Take the dough out of the fridge and divide into 6 or 7 sections on a clean, flat, floured surface.
5. Take each dough section one at a time and roll it out flat. I like to use wax paper between the dough and the rolling pin so it doesn't stick.
6. Once flat, use a round dish like a plate to shape the dough into a circle. Repeat these steps with the other dough sections.
7. You can now fill the pastries with the filling. Be sure not to fill it too full as you will not be able to fold the pastry.
8. Fold the pastry in half, carefully. Flouring your fingers and hands will help the pastry not stick to your fingers as you fold it.
9. Once folded, crimp the edges of the pastry with your fingers.
10. Brush the outside of each pastry with beaten egg. Then, make a little slit at the top of each Pasty to vent.
11. For the filling:
12. Cut up all the vegetables. I use a large, very sharp knife. However, if you have a Ninja Food Processor or other electric chopper, I would highly recommend using it.
13. Cut up the raw meat into 1/2 inch pieces.
14. When filling the pastries, salt and pepper between layers.
15. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
16. Place the Pasties on a greased cooking sheet. You may also line the sheet with aluminum foil.
17. Bake in the oven uncovered for about 50 minutes. If the outer crust is a light brown color, they are done.
18. Take the Pasties out of the oven and let cool for about 20 minutes. They will be VERY hot inside and will burn your mouth if you don't let them cool down properly.
