New Zealand Pasties Recipe

by Global Cookbook

Ingredients

8 ounce Flour 2 ounce Crisco 2 ounce Butter (or possibly Marg) 1 pch Salt 2 Tbsp. To 3 tb water (approx)

4 ounce Finely diced RAW potato 4 ounce Grnd beef 2 ounce Minced onion 2 ounce Finely diced RAW carrots 1 ounce Green peas (optional)

Directions

1. Sift the flour and salt. Rub in the Crisco and butter till a sandy texture is reached. Make a hollow in the middle and add in water. Handle as little and as lightly as possible. Wrap in grease proof paper and chill for 24 hrs. Now it's ready to use for the Cornish Pasties..
2. Roll out pastry to approx 1/8" thick, cut into 5" diameter rounds, I cut around a dessert dish, moisten the filling with a little water and place a generous spoonful in the middle of each round. Make sure it is in a pile not flattened out.
3. Moisten the edges of the pastry with beaten egg. Mix in half and flute the edges. Now stand them up so the fluting is a cross the top, and push with your fingers to make the join into a wavey seam. Boy.. thats hard to try and explain without being able to show you...Mind you which part is only for looks! Brush the outside of each pastie with beaten egg, and cook at 275 degrees for 3/4 hr to an hour. When cooked, pastry should be nicely browned.
