Steps:
- Rub the butter and lard into the flour with a pinch of salt using your fingertips or a food processor, then blend in 6 tbsp cold water to make a firm dough. Cut equally into 4, then chill for 20 mins.
- Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Mix together the filling ingredients with 1 tsp salt. Roll out each piece of dough on a lightly floured surface until large enough to make a round about 23cm across - use a plate to trim it to shape. Firmly pack a quarter of the filling along the centre of each round, leaving a margin at each end. Brush the pastry all the way round the edge with beaten egg, carefully draw up both sides so that they meet at the top, then pinch them together to seal. Lift onto a non-stick baking tray and brush with the remaining egg to glaze.
- Bake for 10 mins, then lower oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4 and cook for 45 mins more until golden. Great served warm.

Steps:
- To Make the Shortcrust Pastry: Place the flour and salt in a food processor and pulse a few times until combined. Add the cold butter and lard and pulse a few more times until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the water a little at a time, pulsing between additions, until the mixture begins to come together. DO NOT over-mix the dough or the pastry crust will be tough and won't be flaky. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before using (this is crucial). (Can be refrigerated for a few days or frozen for up to 3 months.)
- To Make the Cornish Pasties: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.Cut it into 6 equal pieces (rolling the dough into a log and then cutting makes this easier). Wrap and keep the other 5 pieces chilled in the fridge while you're working on one at a time. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured work surface to a 8 inch circle that's about 1/8 inch thick. You can use an 8-inch plate as your guide and cut the dough around it to form your circle.
- Layer the filling (see note at end): Put layer of potatoes down the center of the pastry circle, leaving about 3/4 inch space on the top and bottom edges of the pastry dough. Lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper. Next add a layer of rutabagas, onions and finally the beef, adding a light sprinkling of salt and pepper between each layer. Lay a couple pats of butter on top of the beef and sprinkle a little flour over the filling.
- Wet the tips of your fingers and lightly moisten the edges of the pastry dough. For this next part work gently so that the filling doesn't puncture through the dough. If this happens, patch up the hole with some of the scrap pieces of pastry dough. Bring the sides up and seal the pasty down the middle. Turn the pasty onto its side and crimp the edges in traditional Cornish fashion (see blog post pictures as a visual).
- Assemble the remaining pasties and lay them on a lined baking sheet. Use a sharp knife to cut a slit in the center of each pasty. Lightly brush each pasty with the beaten egg mixture.
- Bake the Cornish pasties on the middle rack for 40-50 minutes until golden in color. Remove from the oven and let them sit for about 10 minutes (they will be very hot inside) before eating. They can be reheated in the oven (recommended for a crispier crust) or microwave. NOTE: Depending on how full you stuff the pasties you may have leftover filling. No worries, just fry it up together or add it to soup and enjoy it as a separate meal.

A GOOD PASTY RECIPE
There have been many highly original versions of the straightforward miner's lunch (if you couldn't come up to the surface for lunch, you took a warm pasty down with you, holding the thickly crimped edge with your grubby hands, then leaving it behind to appease the spirits of the mine) but I have rarely enjoyed one as much as those I have eaten in Cornwall. My pasty is (categorically) not a Cornish pasty. I precook my filling, you see, which Cornish cooks would never do. I cook the meat and vegetables before wrapping them in the pastry crust purely because it results in a pasty whose filling is especially tender and giving. I also use a proportion of butter in the pastry too. The similarity between my pasty and a Cornish one is purely in the ingredients: beef, potato, onion, and rutabaga. Chaucer was partial to a pasty-they appear in The Canterbury Tales, and in several of Shakespeare's plays, including The Merry Wives of Windsor, All's Well That Ends Well, and Titus Andronicus. We shall gloss over the small point that Titus uses Chiron and Demetrius's bodies rather than the more traditional beef skirt steak. I do suggest you let the finished parcels rest for half an hour before baking, if you get the chance.

Steps:
- Freeze the lard and butter in one chunk each (wrapped in their paper) for a good hour, making them easier to grate.
- Peel the rutabaga and potatoes, cut into 3/4-inch (2cm) pieces, and bring to a boil in deep, lightly salted water. Simmer for ten to 15 minutes, until almost tender, then drain. Peel and coarsely chop the onions, then let them soften in the butter in a shallow pan.
- Grate the frozen lard and butter into the flour. This is most easily done if you keep the fats in their paper, dipping the cut edge into the flour every now and again to stop it sticking on the grater. Add a good half teaspoon of salt. Stir the fat into the flour along with enough cold water to make a firm but tender dough. I find about 5 or 6 tablespoons usually does it. Roll the dough into a ball and leave to rest in the fridge, wrapped in wax paper, for 20 minutes or so.
- Meanwhile, cut the beef into small pieces, then, once the onions are soft, remove and add the beef to the hot pan. Let it color nicely on all sides, then remove and mix with the onions. Add a splash of water-or stock, if there is some around-to the pan, scrape at any stickings with a spatula, then pour this liquid over the meat. Add the drained rutabaga and potato. Season generously (my feeling is that the mixture should be really quite peppery). Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Divide the pastry into 6 equal pieces. Roll each lump into a disk about 7 1/2 inches (18cm) in diameter, using a small plate as a template. Brush the edges with beaten egg and milk, then put a pile of the filling on each disk. Fold the dough over to make a semicircle, pressing hard to seal the edges. Crimp as you wish (a fork, a twist of the finger and thumb, a nice bit of braiding, as you fancy), then transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush all over with beaten egg and milk. Cut a couple of steam holes in the top of each pasty to prevent them splitting. Bake for 15 minutes, then decrease the heat to 350°F (180°C) and bake for 45 minutes or so, until golden.
PASTY PASTRY FOR CORNISH MINERS' PASTIES
This goes with Recipe #230311 and makes the most outstanding pastry crust ever! Lard is the preferred "shortening" and closest to the "original" recipe. But regular shortening will work, too. Although butter would make it very rich, I've NEVER used butter in this. The crust is very light and flakey--but sturdy enough to hold the pasty ingredients; turns a beautiful golden-brown when brushed with milk prior to baking. This recipe can also be used for quiches (weighted down with beans) and pies.

Steps:
- Mix dry ingredients in mixing bowl.
- Cut in shortening with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add ice water a little at a time, tossing with a fork to make a pastry-like dough.
- Add a bit more water if it seems dry and won't hold together when squeezed lightly.
- Gather into a ball, press firmly now, then wrap with plastic wrap and chill while preparing the pasty ingredients (see Recipe # ).
- Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface (or on top of a piece of plastic wrap which can easily be folded over and then peeled off once the pasty ingredients are loaded).
- Edges of pasty should be brushed with a smidgen of water and then crimped VERY firmly with a fork (and I fold them and crimp again -- so none of the liquid seeps out).
- Brush tops of finished pasties with milk to enhance the crust (it will bake to a beautiful golden brown).
- NOTE: Like pastry dough, pasty dough should be handled as LITTLE as possible to ensure flakiness. So, *handle with care* !
