This recipe is as close as i can come to replicating that which my Mum used to make.

Didn't our Mums make the best pasties Chookie.  Thanks for this, I love a good pasty.

Yum, my pasties are an evolotion of dead and dying veg in fridge, and change every time I make them

Blimey Chookie wonderful looking Pasty are you sure you don't have Cornish blood running through your veins
A traditional Cornish Pasty has beef skirt,potato,swede and onion.The potato and swede are chipped/flaked into pieces.All the filling is raw when placed in the pastry.I have to confess I'm not a good pasty maker but my "crimping" of the pastry to contain all the filling is very good

Hi,  CC,  LOVE your new avatar.  He is so beautiful. 
My grandmother came from York.  She was a wonderful cook.  This was probably her recipe originally.  The microwaving of the veggies is my idea as it cuts down the baking time.

Fruity,  I wouldn't  think of using left overs or bit of old veggies.  I know it seems strange,  but pastie is an event,  much like a roast.6 of us ate this one,  however there really was enough for 8.  What piggies!!!!!

Hi chookie thanks,
Is there a non microwave way to do this?
I try not to microwave if possible and it may toughen our good meat.

Have only made with raw ingredients before as CC says.
Got a little sour cream left and want to try this, maybe just cut smaller and cook from raw as usual?

Thanks DJ

Yes,  or could steam.

This looks wonderful. I usually make individual ones, but will try this next time.
