Pasties have been a favorite in my family for generations. My mom started putting them in pie shells because it cut the work down. If you’re strapped for time you can put them in frozen pie shells, just put the filling in and put second pie shell on top and crimp edges

[@DomBill1]

Lovely, sounds great! 😀👍🏻

[@s.d.4894]

May I add some suggestions? Use strong white bread flour instead of plain. Make it a good 3 hours ahead. Let the gluten develop the elasticity. The strong bread flour makes the crimp so much easier too. A proper pasty crimp takes a knack to look Cornish mind! Oh, and beef skirt is best. You'll not get a tough meat if you use that. Sliced firm spuds are best. Use PLENTY of salt and pepper. You'll be surprised at how much you need. No holes in the top needed. Brush with beaten egg and cook. ~ Cornish Cornish pasty maker of 40 years 🙂

[@DomBill1]

Thank you for your suggestions, this definitely sounds the way to do it! I’ll try it this way next time I make Cornish Pasties; thank you so much! 😊👌🏻

[@DomBill1]

Absolutely! 😊

[@acptelford1307]

And beef skirt

[@moniquem783]

@@sirbickery may I ask, is the pastry recipe right if bread flour is used? I always thought a pasty had its own specific pastry but he’s just done a basic shortcrust. Is that correct?

[@Captain-Max]

50 yrs back, I would do lunch on Wednesdays at the Saratoga Cafe, next door to the Saratoga strip club in Duluth MN. Best pastys ever with plenty of good beef gravy.

[@DomBill1]

Thanks a lot Captain Max

[@p.millard557]

Thank you for your recipe, really nice.

[@downtime86stars17]

I could totally make a batch of these for lunches for the week. Looks nice and filling and portable.

[@DomBill1]

Absolutely! Sounds good... 😊

[@willgooday]

Looking forward to giving this a go.

[@MrsSoniaElaine]

Looks amazing especially that crust. I have only recently learned about these, there is a restaurant here that has them and people have gone crazy over them. Yours looks so good.

[@DomBill1]

Lovely Sonia, hope you like it and thanks for commenting! 😊

[@ilovejack2982]

Looks great I'm making some in 2 days I will use this for the dough

[@DomBill1]

Awesome stuff

[@kindolgentleman3109]

I’d love to try!

This Cornish pastry is so yummy and appetizing, nicely explained, keep sharing my friend

[@DomBill1]

Great stuff, really hope that you liked it and thanks for watching! 😊

[@cookingwithbigrob3060]

I learned a lot from watching your channel because I started my own cooking channel and I've been realizing I'm doing a lot of things wrong on mine I've been watching yours and I like how you show how you prepare your food

[@DomBill1]

Bless you

Wow this looks delicious😍😍

[@DomBill1]

Great stuff, sounds good! 😊

[@purdy9170]

Shop bought pastry is cheap and works very well .puff or shortcrust ..it makes things easier .

[@DomBill1]

Yes I agree

[@cookingwithmimmo]

🌺 Beautiful recipe 🌺

[@DomBill1]

Lovely, great stuff! 😊

[@MumsUKGardenKitchen]

So glad you shared this, will try this out soon, can I check if we can freeze it? Liked

[@DomBill1]

Hi there, of course I think you can freeze them! Thanks for watching 😊

[@Maplecook]

This is the pasty vid I didn't know I needed! =)

[@DomBill1]

Thanks a lot, appreciate it! 😊

[@Maplecook]

@@DomBill1 I actually saved this one in my special section -- apart from all the other food tubers I know -- so I can find it immediately later. You have no idea how much I love food like this! hahaha

[@SuperDiagnostic]

Thanks for this... pastry always scares the bejesus out of me but you've made this look simple 🤞🏻

[@DomBill1]

Awesome, thanks very much! Pastry is great to make and I’ll be doing more in the future 😊👌🏻

[@MouKitchenassam]

Nice pastry recipe shearing brother 👍😊🤤😁

[@DomBill1]

Great stuff, pleased you liked it! 😊

[@Bengiskahn]

How is it that the arrow annotating Cornwall points dreckly at Devon??

[@DomBill1]

Hey Ben, not sure about that one, but thanks for commenting. 😊

[@mikelheron20]

I live in Cornwall and was born in Devon. I'd say the arrow was on the Cornwall side of the border.

[@XjtBA]

Do you put any salt in your flour for the dough mixture? And how much water do you add to the dough?

[@valeriebrown4769]

My tip regarding the pastry is to replace half the water with vodka. You get the benefit of the moisture, however, when baking, the alcohol burns off and you are left with a lovely, crisp pastry. NB just make sure you let the pastry rest in the fridge for an hour.

[@hablin1]

Or vinegar 👍🥰

[@gillianbarron5263]

the cornish pasty should have a crust handle so that it can be thrown away as the miners hands were dirty the edge should be on top not the side

[@fauntleeeeroy]

Thrown away? Fuck that, I'm eating all the motherfucker

[@jenjoy4353]

The best pasties are made in Adelaide South Australia

[@gregphillips.1312]

For best results, layer your Pasty, Swede at the Bottom, then a good waxy Potato, Onion with Beef last, then you want a Sprinkle of Flour a few Knobs of butter, this will then all melt down and combine to give you a Wonderful rich Gravy.

[@ColonelBogie]

You should ‘shriv’ the vegetables not dice, they cook better and absorb more of the juices 😊

[@lilialowman1865]

can i suggest your arrow at the beginning actually points at Cornwall opposed to devon !!!!!

[@parsaslearningworld2723]

Masha Allah looks super delicious and mouth watering 😋 Presentation is superb 👍

[@DomBill1]

Nice, pleased you liked it that’s so kind! Thanks 👌🏻

[@sirbickery]

It's a nice recipe, but a pasty should always be beef skirt, not chuck.

[@DomBill1]

Ok, no worries I’ll bear that in mind 😊

[@natalie123410001]

Nice video but what about salt and pepper

[@DomBill1]

Thanks a lot, I seasoned throughout 👌🏻

[@janetmoreton4607]

Fault in this recipe. It said cook for 10 minutes at 200 and then turn down to 160 but it does not say for how long at 160 to cook them for?

[@DomBill1]

Thank you Janet and Andrea! My original videos maybe could be slightly clearer in this respect. Thanks for watching ☺️

[@kevinbrum9940]

You shouldn't pierce the pastry as its the steam internally that cooks it

[@DomBill1]

Hey Kevin, thanks for the tip there, looking back I think the execution could have been better!

[@jaymac8496]

Pretty much a British hot pocket lol

[@DomBill1]

Absolutely Jay, a hot pocket of flavour! Cheers

[@jaymac8496]

@@DomBill1 it’s looks fire though…definitely gotta make a rendition of this 🔥🔥🔥

[@Joeysticks85]

Everyone giving out about this and that, I’m sure every household in Cornwall back in the day didn’t have beef skirt when ever they made their pasty I’d imagine they used what ever they had on hand. And like everyone who claims the best Lasgana and the best Shepherds pie. Everyone’s grandmother would have her own little tricks and tips that make theirs unique.

[@DomBill1]

Cheers, great comment!

[@louiseparr3277]

As a Cornish girl….its a little shocking to watch! 😅. But overall good effort. 👏

[@mikelheron20]

Life's too short to make pastry - just buy it.

[@DomBill1]

Haha, yes Mikel I understand what your saying 😊

[@kat7777]

Except that cor ish pasties are made with mutton but yes, a tasty way you have done that 👌

[@DomBill1]

Thanks so much, I think there’s a few variations but pleased you liked it! 👌🏻

[@ghosthorse77]

Wrong, Not a proper Cornish pasty. Use Strong white flour, the extra gluten makes it more pliable. You can use half-and-half if you want. IE Plain and Strong flour. SLICE potatoes, DO NOT CHOP.

[@DomBill1]

Hello Ian, top man! Thanks for the feedback I’m going to do this time. The Cornish Pasty vid has been popular, anything else you’d like me cook? Thanks

[@stevecruikshanks5418]

Awful 😞

[@DomBill1]

Sorry to disappoint!

[@LornaThomas-wx5tn]

This is not the way to make a Cornish pasty!!! Slice not cube ingredients! Layer ingredients starting with the potatoes followed by turnip (swede to non Cornish!) Then onion and lastly meat(Ideally shin) Salt pepper knob of butter! 🧈 crimp pastry on the side!!

[@acptelford1307]

Not a Cornish Pasty. Should be strong flour, no butter, lard only. Should be beef skirt.

[@DomBill1]

Thank you for your feedback, I do not claim to be an expert; but that is kind of you to let me know the differences 👌🏻

[@ririgala1741]

Round the outside, round the outside.. nananana... 😁

[@DomBill1]

Lovely! Hope you enjoyed it

[@neilmccormick2064]

You forgot a vital component. Last thing to do before folding, you're supposed to put a generous dollops of butter in with the filling .

[@DomBill1]

Damm!
