When I want to try a new recipe, I tend to go all out. Not only was I baking Cornish Pasties for the first time, I was making my own pastry for the first time. I have memories of always eating Cornish Pasties in car journeys while going on holiday or on a Saturday for lunch. Easy to eat warm or cold they are meal in themselves. Joe had never had one and I was missing them so it was time to get to baking my own (they are lacking in American stores around these parts).
They were actually a lot easier they I had imagined even the pastry turned out okay for the first attempt. Lovely to bite through a tasty crust to pasties crammed fill of ground turkey (we use turkey instead of beef), onions, carrots and potatoes. Tasty indeed.
If your instead in the recipe yourself you'll find it here.
Are you a fan of the old Cornish Pasty? Ever tried baking them yourself? I'd love to hear!
