Cornish pasties

INGREDIENTS

2 medium potatoes

1 large onion

225g raw steak

1/2 cup beef stock

salt and pepper

1/4 cup peas

400g short pastry

milk, for brushing

cayenne pepper

METHOD

Dice peeled potatoes, onion and meat. Place all in a pot with beef stock and season to taste with salt and peppers. Bring to the boil and simmer for 45 minutes on a low heat. Remove from heat and add peas to hot mixture. Leave to cool.

Roll out pastry. Cut into fairly large rounds using a saucer to gauge size. Place a small portion of meat and vegetable on top of each round. Wet the edges of the pastry and join them on the top of the meat. Crimp the edges. Place pasties on a cold scone tray. Brush with milk. Bake at 190°C for 30–40 minutes.
