Cornish Pasty: A Portable, Savory Hand Pie

Love them. Always have a few when I am in the UP.

 

Technically in Michigan we call them pasties, not Cornish Pasties, but they are the same recipe.

Just as I am sure Cornwall is the only place truly get a pastie in the UK, Michigan is the best place to eat pasties in the U.S.

We make pretty good beer too!

 

Cornwall and Devon can't agree on the order you should put clotted cream and jam on an afternoon tea, why would they agree about pasties?

 

Ok, Pasties = Gravy.
Spicy Ketchup is acceptable.
But gravy is the whip.

I enjoy the recipe section of your magazine. I used the Cornish Pastry recipe with some changes; I recently brewed an Imperial Stout and had some remaining ingredients. Instead of Barley Flour I milled some Mutton Maris Otter Malt to a fine consistency adding this instead. I used one part each of bread flour, all purpose flour, (Both King Aurthur), and the milled Mutton Maris Otter Malt. I got some amazing pies. I would suggest using a chutney as well on the side.
Cheers.

 

Sounds great! Thanks for sharing your variation on the recipe.

 

Chutney? Maris Malt?

What are you people doing to my beloved pasty?
