Cornish Pasties

Cultural Context

Originating from Cornwall, these hearty pastries were traditionally made for miners and farmers, designed to be a portable meal. Cornish pasties symbolize regional pride and craftsmanship, with a Protected Geographical Indication status in the UK. Today, they are enjoyed across the UK and beyond, with various fillings reflecting local tastes.

1

Turn the dough out onto a surface and bring it together into a large singular mass without kneading.

Shape the dough into a square for easier division.

3

Divide the dough into 12 pieces, approximately 85 grams each.

4

Wrap each piece with plastic wrap and flatten into a disc.

5

Roll out each disc to approximately 3 mm thick and about 6 inches wide.

6

Fill the middle of each pastry with about 2 large spoonfuls of filling.

7

Brush some beaten egg at the bottom edge of the pastry.

8

Pull the top edge to meet the bottom edge to create a semi-circle and press down to seal.

9

Crimp the edges using a fork or twist them over for a traditional look.

10

Place all six pasties on a parchment-lined pan and brush again with beaten egg.
