Cornish Beef Pasties Recipe Easy To Make At Home

  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 6 pasties 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling:

  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef or finely chopped steak

  • 1 cup diced potatoes (peeled)

  • ½ cup diced carrots

  • ½ cup diced onion

  • 1 tsp salt

  • ½ tsp ground black pepper

  • 1 tbsp oil or butter (for sautéing)

For the Dough:

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp salt

  • ½ cup cold butter (cubed)

  • 6–8 tbsp cold water

For Assembly:

  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Dough:
    In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Gradually add cold water until a firm dough forms. Wrap and chill for 30 minutes.

  • Make the Filling:
    In a skillet, heat oil and brown the beef with onions. Season with salt and pepper. Add diced potatoes and carrots. Sauté until vegetables are tender. Let cool.

  • Shape the Pasties:
    Divide dough into 6 equal parts. Roll each into a 6–7 inch circle on a floured surface.

  • Fill and Seal:
    Place filling on one side of the dough. Fold over to form a half moon. Crimp the edges with your fingers or a fork to seal.

  • Egg Wash and Vent:
    Place on a baking sheet. Brush each pasty with egg wash. Cut a small slit on top to allow steam to escape.

  • Bake:
    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake pasties for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown.

  • Serve:
    Cool slightly and enjoy warm. Pairs well with a salad or sweet treat on the side!

 

Notes

  • For traditional flavor, substitute carrots with rutabaga (swede).

  • Pasties freeze well before or after baking. Reheat in the oven to maintain texture.

  • Use leftover roast beef or steak for variation.

 

  • Vegetarian version: swap meat for mushrooms or lentils.
