How To Make curried cornish pasties

  • Step 1
    Place all filling ingredients, save milk and tartar, in a skillet. Cook on high for 3 minutes, then reduced to medium low.
  • Step 2
    Stir in milk and tartar. Cover and cook for 20-30 minutes.
  • Step 3
    To start pastry, mix all ingredients, save shortening and butter, in a mixing bowl. Mix well, then rub in shortening.
  • Step 4
    When totally mixed, form 8-10 balls. Place in freezer while filling continues to cook.
  • Step 5
    When ready, roll balls into circles, and on half the side, add filling. Moisten rim with liquid from pan, and seal with a fork. Repeat until all is done.
  • Step 6
    Or you can do a standing fold which cups more liquid. See photo. I do it this way.
  • Step 7
    Cut a couple of tiny slits in each pasty , and optionally but recommended, paint outside with milk. Sprinkle with kosher salt.
  • Step 8
    Bake at 400° for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350° and bake 20-30 minutes longer or until golden brown.
