recipe Cornish Pie Pastry
Directions:
In
a large bowl, toss together the filling ingredients (raw) and set aside. Flour a flat surface, divide pastry into 4
equal portions and roll out into a circular shape to about a ¼ inch
thickness. Spoon filling into ½ of the
circle, leaving room to crimp edges of pastry together. Season filling with some salt and pepper, add
a couple pats of butter and sprinkle with a bit of flour. Moisten edges of pastry with some water, add
fold the pastry over to cover the filling.
Press firmly to seal, roll edges upward and crimp to form a tight
seal. Brush pasty with some egg wash or
milk. Cut a one inch slit in the top to
vent pastry while cooking. Place
pastries on a greased baking sheet and place in a pre-heated 425 degree oven
for 20 minutes. Then turn oven down to
325 degrees and bake an additional 40 minutes.
If they start browning too quickly, loosely cover with a bit of
foil. Let pastries rest for 15 minutes before
serving.
Note: You can adjust
the filling ingredients
to meet your personal taste.
