A great way to repurpose leftover savoury mince.

What's in a pastie?

Traditional Cornish pasties are pretty simple. They generally use beef mince / ground beef, onion, swede and potato.

Of course there's plenty of variations on this. Some recipes put raw ingredients directly into pastry and cook in the oven. Others recommend cooking first, then placing in the pastry.

I personally find traditional pasties a bit flavourless, so I use a savoury mince that's cooked first and packed with flavour.

What pastry are pasties made from?

Pasties can be made from either puff pastry or shortcut pastry. I personally prefer puffy pastry as I love how light and flaky it is, but the beauty of this recipe is you can really use either! I use store-bought frozen puff pastry for ease.
