Cornish Pasty Recipe Hairy Bikers

Ingredients

The Hairy Bikers’ Cornish pasties are a delicious, traditional and hearty pastry dish that can be enjoyed by the whole family. To make this classic dish, you will need:

500g of plain flour
250g of butter or lard
1 teaspoon of salt
200ml of cold water
450g of diced beef
2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
1 large onion, peeled and diced
2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
Salt and black pepper
1 egg, beaten

Instructions

To make the pastry, mix the flour and salt in a large bowl. Rub in the butter or lard until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add the cold water a little at a time, until the pastry comes together to form a dough. Knead lightly until the pastry is smooth. Wrap in cling film and chill for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface to 5mm thick. Cut out 8 discs of pastry, each about 20cm in diameter.

Mix the beef, potatoes, onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper together in a bowl. Divide the mixture between the 8 pastry discs, placing it in the centre of each. Brush the edges of the pastry with a little beaten egg.

Fold the pastry over the filling and press the edges together to form a seal. Crimp the edges with a fork. Cut a couple of small slits in the top of each pasty. Place on a baking sheet and brush with the remaining egg.

Bake for 40 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and leave to cool slightly before serving.
