I used to loved these as a child. My mum would make them (I think using shop bought pastry which quite frankly is easier!) We would have them with gravy, baked beans and most important of all, brown sauce.
We used to call them Cornish pasties, but after googling similar recipes, I don't want to offend any Cornish people so we will just call them minced beef pasties, which are a bit like Cornish ones. They went down pretty well with the boys and big man didn't even complain about addition of swede. His littlest brother was not so happy with this unusual vegetable that he managed to pick out!
This recipe made 5 pasties.
Minced Beef Pasties
- 225g plain flour
- 100g butter
- 2tbsp water
- A small potato
- Half a small swede
- 200g minced beef
- Pinch of salt and pepper
- 1 clove of garlic
- Egg wash (optional)
- Pre heat the oven to 180℃
- Rub the butter and flour. Add the water slowly to make a dough.
- Peel and chop the swede and potato into thin squares.
- Fry this along with the garlic and mince.
- Roll the pastry thinly and use an individual pie dish to cut around.
- Place a couple of tablespoons of the miced beef mixture into the pastie and pinch the sides to enclose the mixture.
- Cut a couple of air holes and was with egg. Bake until golden brown

Whenever we make pasties i always think to myself that we should make them more often as the whole family like them, and then i forget all about it until the following year GBBO pastry week! These look great. #gbbobloggers2018
ReplyDeletelol - yes! Although probably better for the waistline not to have them more often x
