Padstow Pasty Bake

Ingredients

  • 500g shortcrust pastry
  • 300g beef, diced
  • 2 potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 100g swede, diced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the diced beef, potatoes, onion, and swede. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Roll out the shortcrust pastry on a floured surface and cut into 4 equal-sized circles.
  4. Divide the filling mixture evenly among the pastry circles, placing it on one half of each circle.
  5. Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg, then fold the pastry over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges together to seal.
  6. Place the pasties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg, and make a small slit in the top of each pasty to allow steam to escape.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is cooked through.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
