12 Cornish pasties

sounds like a line from an annoying, repetitive Xmas carol

they won't win any beauty contests but they disappear fast

in fact two got eaten before they could be photographed

What recipe did you use for that pastry? I want to make baked
empanadas and that looks pretty much like what I'd be aiming for.

pastry - I am a convert to whizzing the flour & fat in a food processor -
no more tedious cutting in for me, for no benefit

and then you work the water in by hand

I used 5-1/2 c APF and just shy of 12 oz butter

a little more than a cup of very cold, almost frozen water, which turned
out to be a little too much, but not to the point where it was ruined

a little excess water seems to make the pastry easier to work with

for the insides, I used 1-1/2 lb "beef stew", something like 6 medium
yellow potatoes, 3 large carrots and 1 large onion

everything should be cut up to the point where the largest dimension
is less than 1.5 cm in length

when you make each pasty, put a little dab of butter, and salt & pepper
before sealing (use water for glue)

these were a little smaller than usual - baked at 375 for 45 minutes

for a 9" pasty pie I'd bake for an hour

Best tutorial I have seen is he

http://www.joepastry.com/2009/top_crimped_pasty_recipe/

He also has the side crimp if you dig around a bit.

Thanks, Boron, that's great stuff. Pictures are always helpful and
the cook speaks my language ;o)

here's a video - especially helpful for making the pastry - a little overdone
as far as videography though:

http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandst...ornish-pasties

I don't do it all her way - esp not crimping on top, and no egg wash mostly
due to laziness

I also don't cut stuff up quite so small

While you might be correct that the strippers in Cornwall might not
"win any beauty contests," I doubt they wear pasties.

Okay, I had to read that twice and laughed the second time. Good one,
Bryan!

Minor rant: Stop posting from Google! I'm so tired of the F'd up
line spacing you can clearly see above that I'm ready to kill-file you
just for that.
