Mustard powder is delicious with those ingredients you're using. I'd forgotten all about this, how wonderful to see this done. I can't wait to cook them.

[@daverichardson5861]

Here I am, sat in Barnsley, watching you eat my favorites! Cruel… I started making your cheese scones this morning then realised I didn’t have enough flour so to do them later. Tomorrow it’s Cheese pasties, never tried boiling onion in milk before hand but gonna try. Thanks for sharing Rik and stay well.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. All the best to sun blistering Barnsley (today) enjoy the heat wave. Best, Rik

[@grahambambrook313]

My dearly departed mum always used to boil an onion [stuffed with cloves] in milk as the basis for her bread sauce. Marvellous stuff and not just for Christmas turkey!! Any left-overs, stick in between a couple of slices of crusty bread for tea, with or without the turkey!! 🤣

[@julieannecarlson6507]

😊 you can always halve recipe

[@daverichardson5861]

II didn’t have enough flour to half it! But made a batch on Saturday. Due to our heatwave yesterday, I made a simple tea, two cheese scones and a pile of baked beans, heaven, who have thought they go together as a simple meal, lovely. Try them.

Oooo bacon.....

[@grahamturner5963]

I've made these as puff and shortcrust over the years. They're always snapped up, no matter what. My mother did the same but always added bacon to the shortcrust one. I'm a happy subscriber to this brilliant channel 😀

[@thaisstone5192]

I'd go for the puff; you just buy it. And you have a "sexier" looking pastry at the end. So simple, even my cat could make it. (OK, that's a lie) The "added extras" that come to mind are virtually endless. Great upload, Rik!!!

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@woodstream6137]

I think i would prefer eating the short crust but would buy the puff pastry for simplicity

[@TuckerSP2011]

Yum yum yum! I'm sure that little bit of mustard powder must add so much flavor to these pasties.

[@BackyardChef]

Agreed. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@BackyardChef]

Delicious, always love a bit of English mustard in a cheese based recipe. I think I'll make these over the weekend and use puff pastry. Thanks for always making your recipes so straightforward and fear free 😱😊

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@BobG127]

I've made cheese and onion pasties much like Cornish pasties, using short crust, finely diced raw sweet onion (Vidalia or similar), sliced raw yellow potato, butter, and cheddar cheese. The onion and potato cook up nicely in the baking process and the whole tastes great. That said, I will have to give this a try -- especially with the puff pastry. I think that flaky crust would be great with that filling. My favorite stores here in America don't carry ready-made puff pastry, so I'll have to make my own. (I could look for it elsewhere, but the extra trip would probably take as long as making my own.). Thanks for sharing yet another great idea, Rik. 👍

[@BackyardChef]

Good luck with the puff pastry, Bob. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@maggiemaysgrace]

I'm surprised! Every grocery store I've ever been in sells Pepperidge Farm puff pastry sheets in the frozen food section, and sometimes the store's brand. Where do you live???

[@sandrabirch6583]

[@JanetBrown-px2jn]

Oh,they are both beautiful.I bet that filling would be good in perogies.😊

Hope you enjoy! Thank you. Best, Rik

[@PAM-ud9lv]

Have to say made the pasties Rik they were amazing and I prefer puff pastry

[@jennyt966]

They both look and sound delicious. But puff pastry is just a bit extra special. The puff pastry has more crunch, which I love. Cheese and onion is a lovely flavour combination. Thanks for sharing, Rik.

[@BackyardChef]

I agree, Jenny. Thank you. Best, Rik

Honestly I’m a shortcrust man. For me puff pastry is a luxury item, something I didn’t grow up with and therefore isn’t a true comfort food ingredient, but that’s just me. Subscribing can indeed lead to other things, good things. I subscribe to a couple of other “how to cook at home” channels and as a result KZbin suggested you to me. If it wasn’t for that I’d never have found you.

Well done Rik. Good comfort food for those of us that are pinching pennies. Low cost ingredients if you make the short crust. Pasty is not common in the US, and I see it a lot in British content. It seems almost every bakery and convenience store has them over there. We have fruit pies with short crust that are usually fried and glazed and puff pastry for fruit turnovers that are baked and iced. I don't think I have ever seen a savory version with meat or potatoes over here in the US.

[@davidmurphy816]

Hi Rik, I cheekily dropped a wee plug for your channel in the HySapienta Father’s Day competition last week 😉, hopeful that it might have brought a few more subscribers to your channel!🤭😆 These pasties look fantastic, but I think the puff pastry ones would be my preferred choice, the shortcrust look much drier to me & better suited to meat fillings, but we’re all different. Wish we could buy the ready cut pastry here in the uk, but that’s me just being lazy, only takes a couple of minutes to divide it up, just might not look so uniform in size, a wee bit more rustic. Will definitely give these a try, I remember both my grans & my mum poaching onions in milk, haven’t seen anyone else use that method in a while! Thanks as always Rik & hope you’re feeling stronger with each passing day. xx 👨‍🍳🍍💕💞🩷
