Cornish Pasty

A traditional Cornish pasty filled with beef, potatoes, onions, and swede.

Ingredients - Serves 4

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
In a large bowl, combine the diced beef, potatoes, onion, swede, butter, salt, and pepper.
Roll out the shortcrust pastry on a floured surface and cut out 4 circles, approximately 20cm (8 inches) in diameter.
Divide the beef and vegetable mixture equally among the pastry circles, placing it on one half of each circle.
Fold the other half of the pastry over the filling to form a semi-circle shape.
Crimp the edges of the pastry together to seal the pasties.
Place the pasties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the pasties with beaten egg wash.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is cooked through.
Serve hot and enjoy!
