What’s brewing in the Hogwarts Kitchen?
Mmmm, Cornish Pixies, I mean Cornish Pasties. Mini ones for the party.
Note - there is no pre-cooking of the ingredients in a traditional pasty - however, you can (but don’t tell anyone) pre-brown the meat and par-boil the vegetables.
Short Crust Pastry for three 9″ crusts (usually 1 and 1/2 recipe or 1 and 1/2 boxes of “roll out crust”)
2 pounds lean beef
3 medium potatoes (starchy)
1 lg onion
1 rutabaga or turnip (swede)
1 beaten egg
beef gravy (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION:
1. Finely dice the meat, potatoes, onion & rutabaga. Mix together in a large bowl and season to taste.
2. Roll out dough and cut into 2 to 3 inch rounds.
3. Put a teaspoon of the meat mixture on the pastry circle and top with gravy (optional)
4. Seal the edges with water, fold in half and crimp.
5. Brush beaten egg on top of each pastie and cut slits to vent.
6. Bake on a cookie sheet at 350 for 25 - 30 minutes - or until golden brown.
