Equipment

  • Rolling Pin
  • food processor
  • knife

Ingredients

  • 6.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 250 grams unsalted butter chopped
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup water cold
  • 2 tsp salt

 For Pasty Filling

  • 500 g finely chopped thin sliced skirt steak
  • 600 g diced potato
  • 6 tablespoon diced butter
  • 300 g diced rutagaba/swede
  • 1.5 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 300 g chopped onion
  • 2 beaten eggs for brushing

Instructions

  • In a food processor, combine the flour and butter until it forms a crumbly texture.
  • Add in the egg yolks, baking powder, water, and salt to the mixture and pulse until it forms a dough.
  • Remove the dough from the food processor and knead on a floured surface for 5 minutes.
  • Divide the dough into 16 equal portions and let them rest for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • In a pan, cook the skirt steak until browned and set aside.
  • In the same pan, sauté the potatoes, rutabaga/swede, onions, salt, and pepper until they are cooked through.
  • Roll out each portion of the dough into a circle, about 10 inches in diameter.
  • Place a spoonful of the filling onto one side of the dough circle, leaving a border around the edge.
  • Brush the edges with beaten egg then fold the other half of the dough over to cover the filling.
  • Crimp the edges of the dough together to seal in the filling.
  • Place the pasties on the prepared baking sheet and brush with beaten egg.
  • Cut a small slit into each pasty to allow steam to escape while cooking.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked through.
  • Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Mary Berry Cornish pasties!
