Cornish pasty

Ingredients:
- 500g (17.6 oz) flour
- 125g (4.4 oz) lard, ice cold and diced
- 125g (4.4 oz) unsalted butter, ice cold and diced
- 400g (14.1 oz) beef rump, diced
- 200g (7.1 oz) potatoes, diced
- 150g (5.3 oz) swede, diced
- 150g (5.3 oz) onion, diced
- small bunch thyme, finely sliced
- 1 egg, beaten
- salt and pepper
Method
1. Add the flour, butter, lard, and a big pinch of salt to a food processor and process until the fat is well incorporated.
2. Next, with the processor still running, pour in around 150ml of ice-cold water. Start with 100ml and keep adding little by little until the dough comes together.
3. Turn this out onto a clean bench and bring it together with your hands. Wrap it in cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
4. To make the filling, simply add the beef, potato, swede, onions, and thyme to a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.
5. Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F) and then roll out the dough, aiming for the dough to be 30-40mm thick.
6. Using something round, cut out disks of the pastry.
7. Place the filling into one half of a disk of pastry and then fold the other side over, crimp the edges well, and then place onto a lightly greased oven tray.
8. Poke 2 small holes in the top of each one, then brush with the egg wash, and bake in the oven at 180°C (356°F) for 45 minutes.
9. Let them rest for at least 15 minutes after you take them out of the oven because these things are super hot.

Hi Andy, in step 5, you said to roll out the dough to 30-40 mm thick. Did you mean 3-4 mm ? 😂😅

Basic Mitch has been playing Chef Andy for a while, giving him very broad directions and just letting the magic happen.

[@kernow_yid9156]

I'm a cornish man and was a head chef for 16 years. Love your vids, the pasty is the best take I've seen out of Cornwall so far. Try using white pepper and typical cornish pastry is lard and butter. Not bad at all but I'm not giving away me secrets 😅😉

Thanks 👍

I don’t think it looked like a Cornish pasty to me. What do you think? I had one recently and it was a bomb 😮

[@kernow_yid9156]

The principles are there, but it's not quite there. As I said I won't give my secrets away 😁

[@ElJosher]

More like based mitch. Nothing beats a simple pastry filled with meat. Here in Puerto Rico we have pastelillos and empanadillas. The same concept as this, hand pies. So good.

[@RaeezTheDeadPoet]

It's amazing how you're always able to take Mitch's basic suggestions and turn them into world class dishes

One day Andy is going break into tears when Mitch requests something not basic. Then he’ll be FANCY MITCH 😂

[@adamr9720]

I love Cornish pasties. What makes or breaks them, just like a good sandwich, burger or pizza is the pastry/bread. It’s amazing though that the first bite is always as hot as the surface of the sun 😊

[@Chrisosch]

Not true. Flavour trumps the pastry.

[@adamr9720]

@@Chrisosch Your opinion. But any awful pastry or bread will ruin whatever you are eating. No amount of amazing fillings with make it good if the outside is bad.Try your next burger with crumbly dry bread, or your Margherita pizza with unpproofed dough is. Then let me know what score you get on your culinary exam! Your lack of experience is blatantly obvious. Good luck Padawan!

I've been living in Singapore for six years. We can't buy pasties here, so when I visit the UK, The first thing I do is find a shop that sells Ginsters Cornish pasties. I'll literally sit down on the floor outside the shop (unless it's raining) and eat it cold right there.

[@mrkiplingreallywasanexceed8311]

LOVE it - not sure a Cornishman would feel pumped about his beloved national dish being described as meat and potatoes - nor with Basic Mitch - because in fairness to our natives from Cornwall, the pasty is a work of art which in total, far exceeds the sum of its parts. This I feel ticks all the right boxes in terms of its components and hats off to Andy, their isnt I believe a crimper alive who could fault his work😂❤❤

[@JD-rf1xc]

I not UK person discovered this dish a year ago, and it is my favorite meal, made it a dozen times, super easy (and cheap) and very tasty. Got some in my frigde as I type this. 😊

My aunt was a Pasty making machine. It wasnt until I did a bike ride from Lands end to John O' Groats. I arrived in Callington Cornwall (my fathers family hometown). I discovered the Ginsters factory. Turns out both my aunties and my Grandmother worked there.

[@dittri7]

Thank you! I've been wanting to see you make a pasty for so long! My grandma used to make them.

[@mrsu7353]

Not bad for an Aussie. Cornishman here, couple of tips. Leave out the green stuff, just season with salt and pepper. Not sure what meat you used, but we typically use skirt (it didn't look like skirt). Make them at least twice as big!. Proper ansom!

[@KingJudgeMan]

I've never tried a cornish pasty but after seeing this, I wanna try it now

Hey, hey, hey! Basic is good 👍 Foundations are basic. Don't need no fancy experimentation. And there's a lot more things like that so I love some basic things, like Mitch. The more basic the better. Take -a knob of butter and real Parmesan cheese on some aldente elbow noodles. Macaroni rustico! Muy bueno!
