Ingredients

Pastry

  • 18oz shortcrust pastry(chilled)

Filling

  • 9oz beef mince
  • 5oz potato(peeled and finely diced)
  • 4oz swede(peeled and finely diced)
  • 3oz onion(finely chopped)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper(freshly ground)
  • 1oz butter(cubed)

Glaze

  • 1 pc egg yolk(beaten with 1 tbsp water)

Instructions

Prepare the Pastry

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/Gas Mark 6).
  2. Lightly flour a work surface and roll out the shortcrust pastry to about 3mm thickness.
  3. Cut out 12 rounds, approximately 10-12cm in diameter.

Make the Filling

  1. In a bowl, combine the beef mince, diced potato, swede, and chopped onion.
  2. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  3. Divide the filling mixture evenly among the pastry rounds, placing it in the centre of each.
  4. Dot each portion of filling with a few cubes of butter.

Assemble the Pasties

  1. Moisten the edges of the pastry rounds with a little water.
  2. Fold the pastry over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Crimp the edges firmly to seal, ensuring there are no gaps.
  3. Place the pasties onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  4. Brush the tops of the pasties with the egg yolk and water mixture to give them a golden glaze.
  5. Make a small slit in the top of each pasty with a knife to allow steam to escape.

Bake the Pasties

  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is cooked through.
  2. Allow to cool slightly on the baking tray before serving.

Tips

  • Dice the vegetables very finely to ensure they cook through inside the pasty.
  • If the pastry starts to brown too quickly, you can loosely cover the pasties with foil.
  • Serve warm as a delightful appetizer or a hearty snack alongside a dollop of chutney.
