Steps to make Cornish Pasties:
Add flour, lard, butter and salt. Rub in the butter and lard until the mixture is like breadcrumbs.
Add the cold water and mix into a dough. Knead until the dough is elastic.
Wrap dough in cling film and place a fridge for 3 hours. This is important to allow the dough to firm up so that it can be rolled.
To a small amount of flour add the salt and pepper. Toss the beef in the flour, salt and pepper mix. This helps retain the juices from the meat.
Dice the potato, swede an onion. And mix together.
Split the dough into portions. Rollout a portion and cut into a circle approximately 20cm in diameter. A side plate is ideal for this.
Lay a portion of vegetables onto the pastry and cover with a portion of beef.
Moistened the lower half edge of the pastry and fold the top half down, pressing the edges together.
Do not be tempted to over fill the pasty. If you do so you will not have the pastry available to crimp properly. I did it with the first one. it always takes me one to workout how much filling to use.
Crimp the edge.
Place into a greased tray. Wash with the mixed egg.
You may want to use a sharp knife to make small vent hole in the middle of the pasties. This will stop any juices spilling out.
Cook in an oven at gas 4/180c/160c fan for 50 minutes until golden brown.
Enjoy hot or cold.
