Dave-G Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 My best yet - wifey likes to close her's with a fork. Dunno why the turnip went almost carrot coloured. I struggled to finish mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question remains, is it 'pastie' or 'pasty' ???.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopped turnip, chopped spud and chopped onion, salt and pepper with Tesco's finest Aberdeen Angus mince. And for mine, a splash of HP brown sauce over the filling before wrapping it up in Tesco's ready rolled shortcrust pastry. Yes folding the crimp is not my strong point either. I wanted the dog to get some of the excess filling but no it went in the bin because he gets 'proper' dog food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimfire4969 Posted April 15, 2022 Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 They look ansum, just a bit of practice on your crimping 😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted April 15, 2022 Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 Looks very nice. It may be quite wrong (but I like it), but I use peas, potato, carrots and swede - and like you use mince and ready rolled pastry, sometimes puff pastry. A splash of Worcester sauce (it is my local sauce after all) for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperGoose75 Posted April 15, 2022 Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 They look pretty good. Might I make a suggestion to really up your Pastie game though!And that is to make your own (Rough puff pastry) It is pretty straight forward and no were near as time consuming as full on puff pastry and will beat any shop bought type The chunks/pieces of cold butter really make for a delicious texture and taste when baked. I use Andy Bates recipe and the first made his a decade or more ago. With the addition of ribeye steak and a sharp cheddar or blue cheese they were unreal and I've made them several times. I also made a few fish pasties based on Rick Stein recipes. I think the secret to a good crimp is cold pastry and too work as fast as possible. I'm pretty useless at it, but who cares if they taste good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-G Posted April 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 Same here, can't be faffed wi making pastry. Sorry but I couldn't put peas in one but agree its feasible to put almost any veg in one to maybe make a stew pasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billytheghillie Posted April 15, 2022 Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 not a real pasty, made with mince? should be skirt of beef. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted April 15, 2022 Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 Just now, billytheghillie said: not a real pasty, made with mince? should be skirt of beef. You are quite right ....... but my pasty isn't 'Cornish' and I prefer both the convenience and availability of mince, just as I put in veggies I have to hand, usually including (frozen) peas.

Jonty Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 @Dave-G great minds must think alike! The kids and I were heading up Pendle Hill for a walk on Thursday so we made pasties on Wednesday. I’ve never made them before but followed a recipe from a well known Cornish pasty maker I have in a Rick Stein book. They were lovely. Although I must admit they could have done with a bit more black pepper. The pastry wasn't too much of a pin to make either. Tasted great sat on top of the hill.

GK Gladly, I will photo it and post in a couple of minutes, if they’re no good, get back in touch and I’ll get a PDF of it emailed to you @Gameking here you go, I hope this is ok for you, if not let me know. The recipe is for Anne Mullers pasties, she has a well known business making them apparently. I wouldn’t peel all the potatoes at first - I had a lot left over, and also don’t be shy on the salt and especially pepper, I was a little cautious and they could have done with more.

JohnfromUK Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 After making the comment earlier in the thread that I use swede not turnip, I was interested to read in the photos that swede is known as turnip in Cornwall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
