Tools and Equipment Needed
Cornish pasties are a famous English pastry made with a filling of potato and leeks. This is typically served in Cornwall as a lunch or supper food. To make cornish pasties, you will need the following ingredients: Cornish shortcrust pastry, all purpose flour, brown sugar, potato, olive oil, onion, leek, and salt. To make the shortcrust pastry, you will need the following ingredients: all purpose flour, butter, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. To make the dough, you need to cut the butter into small pieces and add it to the flour and salt. Stir the ingredients together with a fork until the mixture forms a ball. Roll the ball of dough out into a circle between 1/4-inch thick and 1-inch wide. Remove the dough from the fridge and place a generous amount of potato in the middle of the dough, spreading it evenly out. Next, sprinkle on a little salt and brown sugar. Sprinkle a generous amount of leeks and a small onion on top. Using the edge of your hand, seal the edges of the dough and press it down firmly on top of the filling. Next, cut out several small wedges and place them on top of each other on a baking sheet. Bake the pasties at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15-20 minutes, until golden brown. Allow the pasties to cool for a few minutes before serving.
