Answer 1

Cornish Pasties

Ingredients:

1 Potato, medium, cut into 1/4 inch dice
1 Onion, medium, chopped
8 oz Blade of beef or rump steak, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
8 oz Plain flour
2 oz Butter, diced
2 oz Lard, diced
Cold water - to mix
Beaten egg or milk - to glaze

Method
Pre-heat oven to 425 °F.
Place the potato, onion and meat in a basin and mix well.
Place the flour in a bowl.
Add the butter and lard, rub in until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Add about 2 tablespoons of water and mix to form a firm dough.
Turn out onto a floured surface and knead lightly.
Divide the pastry into 4.
Roll out each piece to about 6-7 inches.
Trim by cutting round the edge of a small plate.
Divide the filling between each round.
Brush the edges with water and draw up the pastry on each pasty, in a line over the centre of the filling.
Seal well.
Flute the edge with your fingers.
Place the pasties on a baking sheet, fluted edges uppermost.
Brush each with a little beaten egg or milk.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, until golden brown.
