Homemade Cornish Pasties = A True British Classic!

I am going to show you how to make the most AMAZING homemade Cornish pasty, a true British classic!

NOTE: I don't know why I said coal in the video, 😟 I meant tin miners sorry folks. Didn't mean to offend anyone. I think I might have been tired (and probably a little nervous) when recording it..

My Cornish pasties have tender peppery chunks of beef mixed with melt-in-your-mouth vegetables, all wrapped up in buttery golden pastry. The Cornish Pasty is one of the most famous foods to come out of the south of England, and I can completely understand why the Cornish folk have so much pride in this tasty hand-held meal.

Full recipe including hints and tips here:

Ingredients for the Cornish pasties:
Pastry:
450 g (3 2/3 cups) plain (all purpose) flour. plus a couple of tbsp extra for rolling out the pastry and sprinkling on the tray later
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
125 g (1/2 cup + 1 tsp) unsalted butter chopped
2 egg yolks
125 ml (1/2 cup) cold water

Pasty Filling:
450 g (1 lb) potato peeled and finely diced
150 g (1/3 lb) swede/rutagaba peeled and finely diced
150 g (1/3 lb) onion peeled and finely chopped
300 g (2/3 lb) thin sliced skirt steak or sirloin finely chopped
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
3 tbsp butter diced
1 egg beaten

Great recipe!
Watching this makes me upset that I eat keto, and now live in Australia! :)
If I can correct you - not coal dust. Cornish miners dug tin, lead and silver - no coal.

My great grandfather from Cornwall, came to Iron Mountain, Michigan back in the 1800s he helped build the Cornish Pump which pumped out water for the iron mine. He and many other immigrants brought pasties for lunch at the iron mine. Still to this day locals love pasties.

I'm in Minnesota, where the tin miners came here from Cornwall, to work in the coal mines, they passed on the wonderful tradition from home. Now they have festivals in northern Minnesota and they make 100's of these. Your recipe is exactly what they make, even the rutabaga. Wonderful video.😉

I love your presentation. Friendly, informative and most of all . . . quick and to the point. In other words; no nonsense. Thank you!

I was fortunate enough to live in England as a teenager and my mom learned how to make these. They are just wonderful. Thank you.

I made these yesterday, followed the guide completely, the food came out perfectly. It’s been a very long time since I had these when I was younger in Britain, and I’m so impressed with the authenticity. Great work, thank you for sharing.

Here in Mexico, in the regions where the Brits mined silver, the Cornish pasties have become part of the local food staple. There they're called "pastes". Here or in Cornwall, delicious! The oldest football team is also from that region.

Thank you, fantastic, clear, simple instructions, the whole family enjoyed these. And a Cornishman friend, who was staying for lunch, patted me on the head (I’m nearly 60) and said “they were good.” It was the peppery smell upon cutting open that was best. Simple ingredients, no twists or extra herbs. I used supermarket Pastry and turned the excess mix into a casserole. Thank you for the lesson in crimping.❤️

Brilliant - perfect demo. That's how you do it, all the information needed to make a real super Pasty. Lovely to watch and instant nostalgia for Cornish Holidays and stuffing oneself with a hot pasty after a session surfing on the North Coast - sheer heaven.

My Geordie dad who moved to the U.S 20 years ago has been reminiscing about cornish pasties for a while now. Im gonna make your recipe and it’ll hopefully make him happy! I also like that you made small cuts, since my dad lost his taste and smell, so he gets enjoyment out of texture. Thank you!

Thank you for adding the “Yanks” measures for cooking! Lol I married a Londoner and we line in the USA and I love making things from home for him … but then I have to calculate , convert, 🤦🏻‍♀️… so it’s was great hearing how much and especially the oven setting!! I’m totally going to make these:) 😍🙏🏻

My Mum and Dad live in St Austell Cornwall from 1977-1998, we visited from Derbyshire and always brought back pasties to freeze and have for dinner at a later date ....will make your recipe and reminisce of happy times xx

I just love cornish pasties. Watching your video made my mouth water, I know how savory & delicious they are!

[scottev]

No one in Southern California knows what these are, and I'd really like to bring them here! Your recipe looks amazing, thanks!

[makeyourself]

Just made them... they are currently in the oven finishing off.. they smell amazing (and I’m from Cornwall)!!! Can not wait to try them.
