Yield Makes Pasties

Number Of Ingredients 8

- 2 packs ready to roll puff pastry
- 1 can corned beef
- 2 large (3 medium) potatoes
- 2 tbsp butter
- salt and pepper
- 1 beaten egg
- Greaseproof paper
- Flat baking tray

Steps:

  • Peel and cut up potatoes and boil until soft.
  • Finely dice them and finely dice the corned beef.
  • Heat the butter in a frying pan until melted and add the corned beef and potato. Warm through for 5-10 mins and then mash up. (Roughly. You do not need it completely smooth! Can leave it as a chunky as preferred)
  • Add salt and pepper and leave to cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 200degrees.
  • Roll out the pastry to approx 2mm thickness.
  • Cut around a small side plate or saucer (approx 6").
  • Fill one half of the circle with the mixture leaving a margin around the edge.
  • With a pastry brush paint egg around the margin and close the pasty by folding the other half of the circle over.
  • Seal shut by crimping (pushing down with your finger tips) all the way around the edges.
  • Place the finished pasty on a lined baking tray and brush the top with more egg.
  • NB: You do not need to prick holes.
  • I have been told you can't re-roll puff pastry, but I can't see waste, so I did and it all turned out fine! So, repeat as many times as you can and then scrunch all your leftovers together, re-roll and cut out as many more as you can! I managed 10, depending on the size of your cut outs you may get more or less.
  • Bake until golden brown (approx 20 mins) and then leave to cool on a wire rack.
  • These are just as yummy cold the next day as they are warm, fresh from the oven!
