Instructions
Prepare the Pastry
- 1Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/Gas Mark 6).
- 2Lightly flour a work surface and roll out the shortcrust pastry to about 3mm thickness.
- 3Cut out 12 rounds, approximately 10-12cm in diameter.
Make the Filling
- 1In a bowl, combine the beef mince, diced potato, swede, and chopped onion.
- 2Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
- 3Divide the filling mixture evenly among the pastry rounds, placing it in the centre of each.
- 4Dot each portion of filling with a few cubes of butter.
Assemble the Pasties
- 1Moisten the edges of the pastry rounds with a little water.
- 2Fold the pastry over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Crimp the edges firmly to seal, ensuring there are no gaps.
- 3Place the pasties onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- 4Brush the tops of the pasties with the egg yolk and water mixture to give them a golden glaze.
- 5Make a small slit in the top of each pasty with a knife to allow steam to escape.
Bake the Pasties
- 1Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is cooked through.
- 2Allow 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.
