These are cuts that you would normally eat pan fried and are soft. Avoid using stewing steak like gravy beef or chuck steak these are tough and require long slow cooking. Note: Make sure that the butter and water is fridge cold, this will help make a firm dough. If you use warm butter and water, the dough will end up being too soft. Place the flour into a large mixing bowl with a pinch of salt and add the chilled butter cubes.
Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Gradually add in enough of the cold water to the flour and butter mixture and work it into a firm ball. The dough should be firm and just a little sticky. Wrap it in plastic and place in the fridge for about 30 minutes before rolling. Chilling the dough will make it easier to roll, especially in very hot weather. Peel onions, carrot and potatoes and cut these into fine dice.
Put the meat and vegetables into a large mixing bowl add the beef stock, season very well with salt and pepper and mix well. Note: If liked, the skins can be left on the potatoes. Give them a very good scrub before cutting into fine dice.
The pastry circle does not have to be perfect, but if you like a nice neat circle, find something that is about 18 cm in diameter a plate or saucepan lid might work. Place it on the pastry and use a small sharp knife to cut out a circle. Take one pastry round and place some filling into the centre. Bring the opposite sides of the pastry above the filling and pinch the pastry edges together use the picture above for reference.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. These can be eaten hot or at room temperature. I have to admit these cornish pasties are quite large because they are supposed to be a meal in themselves for adults. However, you can easily adjust the size and make small Cornish pasties and even mini Cornish pasties. Yes, this recipe does contain dairy because, there is butter in the pastry.
However, the butter can be replaced with lard. Yes, the homemade pastry in this recipe can be replaced with ready-made shortcrust pastry. This is a good alternative if you are in a hurry, but do try and make your own pastry, homemade tastes so much better. Yes, a cooked Cornish pasty can be placed into a microwave for quick reheating but, the texture of the pastry does change slightly. Yes, they can be made in advance either cooked or uncooked. If they are to be used in a day or two after preparing keep them in the fridge, or they can be frozen for eating at a later date.
Allow the cooked pasties to cool completely, individually wrap each pasty in plastic food wrap, place into freezer bag, label then freeze. Pasties can be frozen for up-to 4 months. Uncooked pasties without egg wash, should be placed onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. Place the tray with the pasties into the freezer and freeze until solid. Once frozen, individually wrap each pasty in plastic food wrap, place into freezer bag, label then freeze.
Uncooked pasties can be frozen for up-to 4 months. When ready to bake, take the required number of pasties from the freezer and remove the plastic. Place the frozen pasties onto a tray lined with baking paper, brush with egg wash, then bake as directed in the recipe. You can eat Cornish pasties cold straight from the fridge but, they do taste better hot or at room temperature. Place the cold pasty on a baking tray and bake for about 15 minutes or until heated.

Made these this evening for the first time and loved them, great recipe. My Dad and Mum are going to love these. Thank You Nicky. Really easy recipe to follow, made a batch of pasties and they were great. Thanks Nicky. Being a Cornishman from Falmouth, I make pasties on a regular basis. Your recipe is spot on but if you want a slight deviation especially if you can't get swede is to add parsley.
I eat mine with Branston pickle and a cup of tea, heaven. My mom came over from Scotland her dad was from Cornwall and made them when I was younger. Then they came over in and she made them using rutabaga and they were still wonderful. She even brought us some brown sauce so we used that instead of ketchup. Kids loved them. What a treat! Just made these last night. First time ever making Cornish Pasties, and this recipe was bang on!!! Super easy to follow, and the pasties turned out amazing - thank you!
This recipe turned out perfectly and the pasties were delicious. It was very hard to resist going back for seconds! Great recipe. Smelled delicious when cooking and tasted awesome. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Only made one small change and added some Lea and Perrins Worcestershire sauce for an added bit of flavour. Very nice, thanks for you recipe. Hi Nicky I live in the west country, and your pasty recipe is great.
But there are no coal mines in Cornwall, They are Tin mines and a by product of tin mining is the poison Arsenic. I grew up eating pasty.
Love it. The Cornish miners brought the recipe to Houghton County Michigan where it was quickly adopted by all of the immigrant groups. It is still very popular locally and has spread across the U. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe!
Thanks Amy - that's really interesting - didn't realise how they made their way over to the US from Cornwall. Your recipe is spot on; almost identical to the one I use. Cornish miners made their way to South Australia my home state where they mined copper at Burra and Moonta, formed the first trade unions, were instrumental in the formation of the Australian Labor Party and introduced their beloved pasty.
I grew up eating pasties for lunch on a regular basis for almost 30 years, but since migrating to the US I have only enjoyed them once in Dallas and the rare occasion when I have made them myself.
