Cornish Pasty


Made this today, it was a little too big but other than that pretty good...






Will have to experiment with different recipes and sizes/shapes in coming weeks..


Cornish Pasties originate from Cornwall (obviously), they were a food kind of like a sandwich that miners could take to work with them down into the mines. The thick crust that is supposed to be on the edge is where the miners could hold the pasty with their dirty fingers.. they then eat the filling and throw away the crust.
There are a huge number of recipes available for pasties, today's variety was the original one with potato, onion, carrot and beef as a filling..... :-)
