It must, however, contain good beef, with a little fat, swede,onion, finely diced potato, and plenty of white pepper, and salt. All ingredients should be uncooked, and the pastry should be fairly short. From the top, meat,onion,swede,and potato. A small knob of butter is OK to maintain moisture within, during cooking for 1 hr, gas 6, reduced to gas 4 after 20mins I left Cornwall in 1961, but my wife 'batch-cooks' 6-10 as needed. They freeze well, partly cooked, wrapped in foil.

I now live in th UAE (Dubai) and still make home made a pasty every week. I follow the same reciepe as yours (traditional) but with would like to say that where you mention pepper you do not say which kind. My mum and her mum before her,always used white pepper and making it with black does not do it justice. We also always topped with a small dullop of butter before crimping. regards Wayne Being a westcountry chap, half cornish (mother from Looe) and born in Plymouth (Devon) pasties have been part of my life forever it seems.
