[@POPPYTHERED]

A Cornish pasty was designed to have meat on one side and sweet on the other side and the crust was to carry it,so the workers had dinner and dessert 👍🏻

Yumm!!

[@projectclark123]

Really good video all I can say is you have try your best

[@JanetBrown-px2jn]

As a long time pastry chef,I have a few tips for you,just put the flour,fats,and salt in the processor,pulse a few times,then slowly add ice cold water with the machine running,it will all come together,you don’t need to kneed.Roll out a bit thinner,and bigger,only brush one side of the pastry with water,or egg,if you wet the pastry all around it just slides when you try to get it to stick together,you need some air slits on top before you bake.I am no expert on Cornish pasty’s,but I would have thought it would give better results if the meat was precooked,and had some thick gravy clinging to it.Good effort on your part,hope my tips help you,and even after years of working with cakes,and pastries I get the flour all over me,and the floor.

[@user-cd5hc3vu2e]

Well done Keith

[@santhompson6738]

Looked so good Keith, you did well with the pastry 👍 x

[@patriciaclark6171]

Use egg wash to stick pastry together, I usually precook meat a bit first.

[@NewAgeBarbarian]

Keef lookin like a dapper don in da silk chef jacket

[@richardkeane1965]

You forgot the knob of butter 👍😉🍺

[@basingstokedave4292]

and a good pinch of mace

[@colinallen39]

Well done Keith, great looking pasties from a born & bred Cornishman , but sorry no gravy but put butter inside next time

[@rosssmith6530]

Being a cornish man myself I will give you a respective 4 of 10. 😊 your still way ahead of Greggs 😅.Great effort well done

[@theabandonedhunter3604]

Well done mar mate! …. Smithy

[@valeriewright8686]

Pasties looked delish as did the chips, well done that man ! Although it was screaming out for baked beans !

[@POPPYTHERED]

Made up you’ve bought a wooden chopping board mate 🥰

[@Sanderly1820]

Being a proud Cornish-boy , this aint half bad, firstly a pasty isnt a pie so dont eat it with chips gravy or anything else. A pasty is a pasty and its a complete meal, 99.99% of cornish homes will use rough puff pastry and not shortcrust. If you cant make rough puff all butter puff from the super market will,be ideal. 1 block will make 3 proper size pastys Yoyr filling needs to be cut half the size again, we dont dice the veg but chip( DO NOT CUT LIKE FRENCH FRIES) them, get a snall knife and chip away your looking for small slices like flower petals place beef and your onion in a bowl and sprinkle over a ½ beef oxo cube this helps with the gravy and seasoning. add potato and turnip(swede) in a separate bowl . Roll out yoyr pastry then add a layer of potatoes followed by sweded add your beef thenca small layer of potato just to cover over your beef. Season with plenty of salt and pepper, you need to over season because it mellows when cooking. Then crimp is fine but if you wanna try just remember right over left, left over right, and you always start on the right side, the left side and top crimp is for devon not Cornwall. Chill in fidge 1hr then egg wash make a small hole in topof pasty for the steam. Once cooked cover with a tea towel rest for 30 mins never eat straight from oven you wont get the real flavour. Never use tommy sauce or hp sauce

[@nelliejames]

i think what youve made there is a cornish splat keith, gotta be honest though mate they looked lovely

[@Secret_Squirrel_Scottishgamer]

you should have made the steak cubes way smaller. in fact I think your suppose to mince them its just the suet and potato you keep as chunks. :)

[@terencephillips6833]

Well they may not look perfect but I bet they tasted as good as the best , nice one

[@davidpascoe3863]

It's good to know I'm not the only one who can't crimp pasties. As others have commented, a knob of butter inside before you seal as this makes the gravy when cooking and a couple of slits in the top to release steam. Where did you get the crimpit gadget?

[@OldFoodGuy]

crimpit website

[@selwyndouglas9086]

Should have added the water gradually in the processor

[@yvonnebannerman2690]

Love watching you and Nat xxx

[@macrook1961]

Can't believe the price per kilo for that bit of beef skirt , one of the less used cuts of beef , £13.99 per kilo ,

[@edwardsfamily6184]

You should of mixed in some gravy in the filling would of been better and more tastier. Perfect pastry buddy well done you have made me hungry lol❤❤❤

[@andreaplank3001]

Nothing wrong with that pastry you did good

[@brianc6272]

hahaha who needs Chaos in the Kitchen when you have Keith 😂 You make Cooking so much Fun haha 😂 and you have cracked making your own Pastry as that looked better than the shop bought stuff well done Keith those Cornish Pasties looked really nice and it's like you said, with learning it will only get a lot better

[@OldFoodGuy]

Hi mate

[@neiloldfield8661]

Great job maybe flour the crimp it first so they come out nice👍

[@basingstokedave4292]

no mate partly cook in pan then let go cold then in pastry

[@tazernuts5930]

First time in my life I've seen 10 sausages make a pasty 😂😂😂

[@welshwoody217]

Fairplay there are some proper tools in these comments, if you have nothing nice to say then don't say anything. All comments will help the channel though, keep on cooking Keith lad 👌🏻

[@michaelvine8393]

Not putting down your efforts m8you did really well , However i thought proper cornish pasties had the crimp running along its back so to speak . I might be wrong but thats how ive always known them and you was following a origional recipie and instructions

[@basingstokedave4292]

lots of white pepper LOTS LOTS LOTS lol

[@LornaThomas-wx5tn]

Crimp should be on the side!!!!

[@grahamjohnson4702]

The pasties were never held in the hand they were wrapped in either paper or muslin bags and the hands never touched the pasty, they are old wives tales about holding the seams to prevent contamination, the pasty was really adopted from Finnish and Italian miners who were brought in to do the mining.

[@peterdurnien9084]

Nice try did you put a slit in to let the steam escape? Crimper, I would use flour as a release agent. so lucky not to have the pastry stick in the crimper with the egg wash. To do hand crimping you only have to use two fingers. see other Cornish pasty videos on youtube. In the mixer I think you would have better luck if you added the water only a little bit at atime until the pastry ball formed, then stop. I want to make some now,

[@rob20452]

I can't crimp, i do my best then use a fork and press down after a drop of water round the edges,.

[@christianbuczko1481]

To do a better crust, make them from a larger disc of pastry, then you will have room for the filling and extra to make the crust. The plates you used looked abit small to get a thick crusty edge meaning you struggled. They werent a disaster though, you just need abit of practice.

[@BachTantra]

What I love about you. You are genuine. Travel to India 🇮🇳

[@dawndeeley436]

Nat's crimpet video was great. Don't put it down.

[@shaynewiddowson5056]

Keith, you bought a crimper, use that lol

[@Mike_5]

It is fair to say the Cornish men love a bit of skirt

[@sharonburrows2330]

Hi u ok u should make pies with a crimpit

[@campcop9214]

Why is the meat chunky, isnt it minced usually

[@stephanmee1550]

I’m no good either pastry eiether keith

[@JohnMclellan-um1rj]

i know yuo

[@kevinkeane254]

🤔

[@nathandevonport7064]

Did you do The hottest curry yet mate

[@OldFoodGuy]

Done it on the live stream mate

[@nathandevonport7064]

@OldFoodGuy watched it earlier mate great video 🤣

[@PoppaWoody6969]

look nice them do

[@carolcurtis1573]

😅you don’t knead pastry , and a bit of water or milk to stick , good vid though 🤣👏

[@annepike7328]

Why are they all different sizes.

[@Danechip]

It was his very first attempt anne x

[@Tonywall-gr3tx]

Rant they a little bit dry?

[@BenJames-br1bj]

Love it how you wear a proper chefs top, like ya some sort of Michelin star Chef, muppet

[@LornaThomas-wx5tn]

For a start vegetables not cubed!!! Sliced veg!!! Don't bother!!

[@latetotheparty1662]

Ye gods! As a Cornishman I applaud the attempt, but they're probably the worst pasties I've ever seen. Watch a few KZbin videos to learn how to crimp and don't cut the meat up so Small next time. But the real shock and horror was Serving it with chips and gravy! I couldn't believe what I was seeing, pasties are not pies, they're a meal in there selves. I normally use that amount of pastry and filling to make one large pasty on a Sunday for tea, nothing else needed except a cup of tea.

[@annepike7328]

Not your finest hope it taste better.

[@aaronwestwood6816]

Why make it lol when u can just buy it for cheaper

[@Danechip]

Oh, go on then lets have a laugh. To start, It cannot be 'authentic' unless you go down to cornwall and make it.!!

[@Danechip]

Use the tip of your fingers only. you want breadcrumbs

[@Danechip]

Why didn't you start with the mixer to start with. Thais like pushing your car uphill to save petrol.

[@Danechip]

Shit, My sides are hurting now...

[@Danechip]

Sorry, I though I watching a pasty being made, NOT Kays Cooking...

[@Danechip]

Bearing in mind, You start with play-doh. Aged 3...

[@kevinkeane254]

Danechip needs a hobby badly
