Instructions
First, make the pastry
- For best results use an electric mixer and try to handle the pastry as little as possible.
- Cut the lard and butter into small dice and add to the flour with a pinch of salt.
Rub the fat into the flour until it reaches the consistency of fine sand. - With the mixer still running start to slowly add the water and keep adding it until the dough comes together to form a ball. You want the dough to hold together when you pinch it without crumbling or feeling sticky.
- Turn the dough out onto a sheet of cling film. Wrap well and place in the fridge for 20 minutes or so to rest.
Make the pasties
- Pre heat the oven to 180 ̊c. Line a baking tray with baking parchment.
- Remove your pastry from the fridge and cut into four equal pieces.
- Roll each piece of dough to a thickness of 4mm.
- Using a small side plate as a guide cut into a round. In a bowl mix together the filling ingredients and season well with Cornish Sea Salt and Luxury Pepper.
- Place a 1/4 of this mixture into the centre of your pastry round.
