125
g
lard, chilled
Cold water

Cooking Instructions:
Make Pastry:
Sift the flour into a large bowl. Rub in the butter and lard until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add cold water, a little at a time, to form a firm dough. Wrap in cling film and chill for 30 minutes.
Prepare Filling:
Mix the beef, potato, swede, onion, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Assemble Pasties:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Roll out the pastry on a floured surface to about 3mm thick. Cut out 4 circles using a plate as a guide. Divide the filling among the pastry circles, placing it to one side. Brush the edges with water, fold over, and crimp the edges to seal.
Bake:
Place the pasties on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush with beaten egg. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until golden.
Rest:
Let the pasties cool for 10 minutes before serving.
To Serve:
Serve warm with a side salad or simply enjoy as a standalone dish.
Notes:
The traditional Cornish Pasty uses swede, but turnips can be substituted.
Handle the pastry as little as possible to keep it flaky.
