It's funny that he says this is a "miner's meal". British immigrants from Cornwall (mostly miners) settled in and around Wisconsin and brought their tradition of pasty with them. Now, in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan people still make pasty, and there are even pasty restaurants!
I'm from Michigan and pasties are a staple in the upper peninsula of Michigan! Lots of Cornish miners up there that brought that delicious tradition with them! I love pasties!
Yes the Michigan Pasty is very similar indeed. I do like the recipes including changing up the filling too! This is a prime example how recipes travelled the world. Thanks for sharing. Best, Rik
There's more Cornish people in America (And Australia) than back on the Cornish peninsula now after the mines closed. Glad they're adding Cornish tradition to the American cultural soup!
Same here. Even though I was raised in the lower portion of the state, I have many relatives in the UP, we're Yoopers! We were raised with Pasties, and an authentic Pasty has Rutabega, then served with ketchup. Deeeelicious! 👊
Everybody loves when I make Pasties. But they are picky with vegetables. So i cheat and grate them and use ground meat. All mixed together they don't notice the veg.😂 Thanks Rik🎉
I grew up in Butte, Montana, and have made and eaten many a pasty. Of course, Butte is a mining town and pasties came from all of the Cornish miners that came here. We often called them "letters from home!" You have a very refined recipe here, ours were simpler. First for the crust, we only used flour, lard, and ice cold water. The filling was equal parts potato, onion, and meat (usually beef but sometimes elk if hunting was good,) seasoned with salt and black pepper. The egg wash on the pastie was optional. We used if guests were coming. Although we have heard of people using swede and turnips, we never did. But what a meal! We served it with gravy or ketchup. Today, I understand they serve it with chilli in some places.
That's what Brexit was about: Lies. No one could or would prohibit that. It was just about the name "Cornish Pasty". You could always make your Cornish Pasty everywhere. Easy to get around by calling it Pasty Cornish style or so - if you want to make a profit of it.
Lovely, just a tip or two from a Cornish Maid🙂 I would slice the potatoes Swede and meat into similar size pieces, add a knob or two of butter on top of the mix prior to folding the pastry👍
Thank you Rick. As a Cjef myself, going on 35 years I appreciate your teaching technique over recipe. I enjoy all these UK goodies and Asian dishes. Things we don’t see here in the USA. You’re the man.
You are very welcome, John. We all do things different as you know. Over the last 40 years I have tendered to not get stuck, in there is only one way to make anything. It kept me sane during all those hours. I wish you well and if you have any tips pass them on. Many nice folks on here, genuinely cooking away. Thank you. Best, Rik
Some are, you can still buy em down here in Kernow (Cornwall). It's the full Cornish meal and dessert in one. Although most go for savoury so you have to go to the more traditional bakers for them now as most tourists only buy the savoury ones.
@@Jannetto28 Yes this is always debated! They took on the same as the Bedfordhsire clanger, savory at one end sweet at the other. However mention that to some of the folks in Cornwall and they really do loose it. Shocking really. Recipes were interchanged in regions of course they were. Thank you. Best, Rik
The half savoury / half sweet pasty is a Bedfordshire Clanger and as far as I am aware originated in the farming areas of Bedfordshire, Cambridheshire and Huntingdonshire I am now 84 years old and remember my Mum making them for my Dad to take for his lunch on the farm in St. Neots. Perhaps Rik could do a recipe for them. Love your channel, Rik. Thank you.
I was in the Royal Navy in the late 50’s early 60’s and I have great memories of buying Cornish pasties aka Oggies from street stalls on the way back to the ship.
Thought you would like to know that the spirits of the mines are called knockers. The crimp on the pasty is to protect the miners from digesting arsenic which is a bi-product of tin and copper. I love your channel and am trying out many of your recipes. Thank you.x
As a Michigander, I was raised with Pasties. An authentic Pasty must have rutabega, and we always served them with ketchup. Most of our relatives are up in the UP, Yoopers, and most of my aunts and uncles up there are Finns. Thank you for a blast from the past. They look absolutely delicious!
One of my favourite treats! I used to work with dad(selling Lays) and one of the grocery stores had warm pasties in the deli. I got him to try one and created another addict. I’d ask him to bring one home for me on the days I wasn’t with him, but the pasty never made it home. Dad could never not eat it 😆
My step dad was an Englishman from Cornwall England Rick. And he taught my mother how to make these. The only thing I remember them doing different is they would make this tomato type sauce and spoon it through the holes they would cut into the top for the steam to escape as you did. Your recipe made me want to try my hand at making these! Brought back good memories. I remember enjoying these so much:) Thank you for this recipe Rick and may God bless. 🙏🏻✝️ 🏴
Well done! I’m an Aussie of Cornish descent, living in “Australia’s Little Cornwall”, and I think you’ve done a wonderful job of making traditional pasties. Once it cools off here, it will be time to start baking my pasties for the winter.
another great memory!!!! those cornish pasties look like our French "chausson aux pommes" (filled with mashed apples and brown sugar), and the first time I saw them in a coffee shop, I bought one and the maid wanted (of course) put it in the oven, but I didnt want because I was sure it was a pastry... Everybody looked at me, and I realized it was a cornish pasty when I began to eat it. But Ididnt want to show my disappointment and huge mistake (of course) so I ate it entirely (I needed two cups of tea)... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Look, I'm 66 years old. I spent all my school holidays in Cornwall with my Oncle and cousins. They told me the real traditional cornish Pasty. At one end the meat, the other end the dessert, often apple, black bury, marmalade, depending the season. My Uncle was a lobster fisherman. Out of Port Isaak, Our pots were north off of Tintagel. No women allowed on the boats, Sunday NO boats out. On the boat we were off at 05hrs or otherwise depending tide and out the whole day. On the boat we had cold water and Scones, After 5 hours adrift a scone tasted wonderful. Cook me that. Then there was the tourist version, oin land with Cornish cream and Jam...
Hi Rik! I love your content and how you present it. Well done! This takes me back to 1986 when I first arrived at RAF Chicksands in Bedfordshire. A Cornish Pasty was my first introduction to British cuisine. I loved it then and I love it now!
I live in the US, in western Montana, and there’s a famous mining town about 100 miles from me called Butte, and pasties were and still are a staple.. And they’re renowned enough, that most nearby towns put them on special menus a time or two a year, often around St Patrick’s Day and/or Independence Day.
Where we live in north central USA there were large numbers of Cornish miners and farmers that were recruted to immigrate in the mid to late 1800 era to work in the iron and copper mines , from the Upper Pennuisula of michigan to northern Minnesota, and the Pasty is still a popular item , many church groups make ans sell then as fundraisers There are still small bakeries and cafes that feture them I like mine to have cubed meat and veg , not ground , and with both potatoes and swedes They are also served with either brow gravy or tomato catsup
I'm going to have to give your pastry method a go. I've never had much luck with it before. It's always a bit "hit and miss" with the emphasis on the "miss", lol. Those pasties look delicious.
Hi, Ric! I'm from Michigan (US) and pasties are very popular there, especially in the Upper Peninsula where mining was a huge part of the state's industry.
My wife's family made Welsh pasties all the time.. Miner's yeah...From Gelligaer. Off the boat in 1880s, to where? Pennsylvania, and yes to the coal mines. As I recall, they sliced the potatoes thin. I don't remember turnips but could have been, but I do remember they often cooked rutabaga as a side dish but not in the pasty.
Never heard of this one. Looks really good. I might do these tomorrow for the trip(about 10 hour drive) easy to eat in a way and dont have to stop to eat anywhere👍 Thx for this recioe too💕👋🇫🇮
I remember reading about pasties in a recipe book. I think it was food from Ireland. How they came about was just as you said. Wives would make them for their men working in mines. It was portable, and had meats potatoes etc. Just like you made them. In Spanish customs we would eat something similar called Empanadas. I'm sure you know what they are. Here in the states they sell a frozen type called Hotpockets. Very similar to pasties. But making them fresh from scratch like you did chef is the way to go. They look so delicious. Yet another mouth watering dish you have prepared . A definite must try. Thank you chef Rik.😊❤
These are very popular in Northern Michigan. I'm always thrilled to drive the 4 hours from Southeast Michigan to the Upper Peninsula just to get these! And of course i enjoy the beautiful scenery on the way. I'm going to try making your recipe. I'm very curious. Thank you for posting this video!
Oh lovely! A proper Cornish pasty made the way it should be! No fancy additions, just the real McCoy! (But I am going to try that butter trick. Sounds good to me!)
I live in Australia's little Cornwall. In Sth Australia. Cornish miners came here to mine copper. Their descendants are a good many of the population here. We were told the crust was thrown away because their would be covered in copper and other poisons. I make pasties during winter months
Many use rough puff pastry instead of shortcrust and with a bread flour to give it strength. The pasties needed to be sturdy so the fluted crust edge didn’t collapse when they held it.
I'm from Minnesota and buy frozen pastys at our local grocery store (Lunds-Byerlys) and bake them off at home. I will definitely give them an egg wash, next time. Who knows, maybe I'll try from scratch?
Oo Rik you looked as though you were really enjoying that pasty , my mouth is watering I will be making these very soon , I’ve always worried about the filling being cooked so have cooked mine separate before putting into the pastry but those look great and I will do them your way with your pastry too 👌thank you , Amanda xx😋
Great recipe, Rik. Traditional Cornish pasty. I've noticed that these days, a lot of "cornish pasties" use minced beef, which is not authentic, skirt, or chuck usually, but it needs to be cubed as you say and not minced, lovely 👍
..I’m a bit obsessed with pasties at the moment. I will buy ready rolled puff ( or I will make hot water paste) depends on the filling . But you can literally make a pasty from anything . 😊
Can you please do a minced beef cobbler? My daughter and i watch your demos and she wants to have a go. She has done some of your recipes and finds them easy to follow. She is disabled so finds some things hard to do. Its lovely to watch someone who does everyday cooking instead of a lot of the "tv chefs" who use expensive ingredients and the end result is a letdown. Thank you.
Hi, Diana. I will make that this week coming - let your daughter know this will be for her. I will make a classic easy version as always. Love to both of you. Thank you. Best, Rik.
There is a small shop in my little bitty town, that makes sausage and pasties. I stop in once a week and always get the traditional one made just like this( some times he adds carrots or leaks also), he also has sausage and venison kinds too. Thes are absolutely delicious. Now that you have showed us all the trick to easy pastry dough, we won't have to give our money to these guys so often eh? :) Home made anything is always better anyway right? Thanks Rik.
Hiya Rik, just made your “LEMON DRIZZLE CAKE” turned out lovely now having to hide it from my hubby before he eats it all, greedy bugger😅keep up the brilliant vlogs, from HEATHER in. SCOTLAND 👍🏻
Hallo Richard. Das macht Sinn, ist leicht zu verstauen ist lecker und macht satt. Wurde wahrscheinlich unter Tage gegessen, da sich ein ausfahren zeitlich nicht rentieren würde. Und da die füllung variabel ist hast du immer was anderes zu essen. Ich probiere es einfach mal aus. 😊
This is a world wide concept. So many wonderful variations. Search and explore Perogies , dumplings, South American, Spring rolls the options are endless and again the humble pie
I'm here in gods country Cornwall and have the same oven which I really like, I intend to make pasties for family when they visit soon. Thanks for a great video. As we've left the eu I'm guessing protected status might have disappeared.
I love me a pasty! I make mine with swede instead of white turnip, and place a knob of butter on top of the filling ingredients. I've even heard some people use a dollop of clotted cream instead of butter! (I also make my own clotted cream.) EDIT: Just saw to the end where you suggest the butter.
Ayup Rick, great video as always, good to see a Cornish pasty properly stuffed with filling and not a huge space between it and the pastry so it stays moist. On a separate note is there any way you could do a video on flaky pastry?
You got that right! Yes a good Cornish lovely. We are all used to pies with gravy in or over herbed fillings, forgetting the simple salt and pepper. Thank you. Best, Rik
Amazing rik, any chance of making some exercise videos? 😂 I had the pleasure of working with an ex Royal Navy chef in a care home, he taught me to peel a swede by slicing it like you did, the use a small knife to run around the edge to remove the skin. I have not looked back. He did teach me a few techniques i have carried on using.
Thanks for the explanation so well ..im in US, born in UK, trying to learn my UK side...had Awesome Pastoes in Cardiff Wales in a visit with family... Is there an actual ingredient list im missing? Thanks, Marti
Sounds great! Yes there is, Marti - every video has a full ingredient list in the description. Either scroll down or you click on the "more" Here you go this is what you are looking for: Ingredients: For the Pastry: Ingredients: For the pastry: - 420 g All Purpose Flour - 65ml Water - 150g Shortening - 50g Butter / Marg - 1 medium egg - 1 tsp Apple cider vinegar - 1 tsp salt For the Filling: - 350g (about 2/3 lb) beef skirt or chuck steak, chopped into small pieces - I used topside - 250g (about 1 cup) potato, peeled and diced into small cubes - 100g (about 1/2 cup) turnip, swede (rutabaga), peeled and diced into small cubes. I used turnip - 1 medium onion, finely chopped - Salt and pepper, to taste - 1 egg, beaten, for glazing Preheat your oven to 180°C (360°F/Gas 6). 35 - 40 mins Air fryer 165°C (330°F) 35 mins Best, Rik
I believe that the Cornish pasty also had stewed apple in one 1/3 end as the "Dessert" after the miners ate the 2/3rds savoury part, so 2 courses in one 😊....
I would think some garlic and herbs like thyme might be good along with the salt and pepper. How would you adjust the recipe for the pastry if you have large eggs instead of medium eggs?
Personally I prefer swede in my pasty, that’s how my mum and granny and my granny’s granny,s granny made them. There is a good story from Plymouth where for a long time there were two popular pasty shops -Ron Dewdney’s and Ivor Dewdney’s and you were either a customer of one or the other. They were brothers who both claimed to be making their mother’s recipe but one used turnip and one used swede. Apparently they became fierce rivals and came to blows in the street, taking their feud to the grave!!!
Rik, sometimes when I buy a Cornish Pasty, the filling seems to have something like a mashed potato in it which gives the filling a softer centre. Could you used mashed potato instead of a cubed one ? Yours look amazing and I will have to give them a go
There are many versions from the original. Taste and adapt to whatever you enjoy. I always say that - take no notice of the original recipe, If you want to make original then you do, however don't ever get hung up on it, a twist or turn in a recipe creates something you like. Unlike many folks who are so adamant how things should be they actually do not cook in the house, they eat others cook. Enjoy cooking! Best, Rik
Beautiful recipe here Rik will be making these for sure just look how tasty they are when you cut them open when hot!
Oh yes! Top drawer these, Mike. Best, Rik
Haha...hiding the veggies !
It's funny that he says this is a "miner's meal". British immigrants from Cornwall (mostly miners) settled in and around Wisconsin and brought their tradition of pasty with them. Now, in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan people still make pasty, and there are even pasty restaurants!

I am going to break E.U. rules and make Cornish Pasties in South Croydon, Surrey. Another Gem from the Great Man.
Ha ha ha - Hope you enjoy them. Best, Rik
Another advantage of the sunlit uplands of Brexit ! ( no politics intended )
Thank you. Best, Rik@@callumclark3358
That's what Brexit was about: Lies. No one could or would prohibit that. It was just about the name "Cornish Pasty". You could always make your Cornish Pasty everywhere. Easy to get around by calling it Pasty Cornish style or so - if you want to make a profit of it.
@@wyrdlg A 'pasty Cornish style' ?! Why lie or try to "get around" the fact that it is what it is, and always has been, a 'Cornish pasty.'
Lovely, just a tip or two from a Cornish Maid🙂 I would slice the potatoes Swede and meat into similar size pieces, add a knob or two of butter on top of the mix prior to folding the pastry👍
Thanks for the tip! Yes I did let everyone know about the butter when I taste tested. Best, Rik
And a blob of Clotted Cream😋
Thank you Rick. As a Cjef myself, going on 35 years I appreciate your teaching technique over recipe. I enjoy all these UK goodies and Asian dishes. Things we don’t see here in the USA. You’re the man.

An old geezer in the pub I used to drink in to me original Cornish pasties were half and half, and in one half savoury and one half sweet.
Interesting! Best, Rik

I'm 71 and I was always led to believe the same, meat & veg one end and sweet at other divided by pastry 🤷♀️
@@Jannetto28 Yes this is always debated! They took on the same as the Bedfordhsire clanger, savory at one end sweet at the other. However mention that to some of the folks in Cornwall and they really do loose it. Shocking really. Recipes were interchanged in regions of course they were. Thank you. Best, Rik
The half savoury / half sweet pasty is a Bedfordshire Clanger and as far as I am aware originated in the farming areas of Bedfordshire, Cambridheshire and Huntingdonshire I am now 84 years old and remember my Mum making them for my Dad to take for his lunch on the farm in St. Neots.

Thank you.
Nothing can beat a homemade Cornish pastie. My Mum used to make them, when we were very young. I wish I had one of yours right now. It looks so nice.
Jenny, I have a few - I would love to let you have them. Agreed, nothing better than homemade. Best, Rik
hiya Rick just discovered your channel so doing a bit of binge watching and enjoying all the videos ive seen

Where we live in north central USA there were large numbers of Cornish miners and farmers that were recruted to immigrate in the mid to late 1800 era to work in the iron and copper mines , from the Upper Pennuisula of michigan to northern Minnesota, and the Pasty is still a popular item , many church groups make ans sell then as fundraisers
There are still small bakeries and cafes that feture them
I like mine to have cubed meat and veg , not ground , and with both potatoes and swedes
They are also served with either brow gravy or tomato catsup
Lovely! Thanks for sharing. Best, Rik
Well, you know what they say: Wherever there's a hole in the ground, there'll be a Cornishman working away at the bottom of it.
I'm going to have to give your pastry method a go. I've never had much luck with it before. It's always a bit "hit and miss" with the emphasis on the "miss", lol. Those pasties look delicious.
i cooked pastry for the first time using riks method ,turned out perfect . even the wife was speechless and that was a first too 😅

Hi, Ric! I'm from Michigan (US) and pasties are very popular there, especially in the Upper Peninsula where mining was a huge part of the state's industry.

Copper, tin and lead are often found in association with arsenic, so yes, the crimped crust was the handle and not intended to be eaten. 😊
I am sure I have put on weight since watching you Rik!!!
Oh dear! I certainly have in three years. A real fatty now! Thank you. Best, Rik
Yummy I will make this, Rick. Thanks for the videos.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Excellent I will try to make curry puffs with this pastry & combine with the oil dough to get the layered effect. Thanks chef Rik you’re amazing!
The curry puffs are made with two types of pastry. Good luck. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef yes, been trying to get it right for 32 years and a couple of times a year I try all over again. Never give up!😊♥️
I haven't had a Cornish Pasty since my grandmother made them. I cant wait to try my hand at these. Thanks Rik...feels weird not calling you Chef 😂
I'm retired but work longer - don't know how that works. Thank you. Best, Rik
Many use rough puff pastry instead of shortcrust and with a bread flour to give it strength. The pasties needed to be sturdy so the fluted crust edge didn’t collapse when they held it.
Thanks for sharing. Best, Rik
They look exactly like my Mum and my Grandma made back in Plymouth.
Thank you. Best, Rik
I'm from Minnesota and buy frozen pastys at our local grocery store (Lunds-Byerlys) and bake them off at home. I will definitely give them an egg wash, next time. Who knows, maybe I'll try from scratch?
You got this, give them a go - you can add any and as much filling then too! Thank you. Best, Rik
Yet another delicious recipe! Keep 'em coming Rik
Thanks! Will do! Best, Rik
Wow , they look spot on .
Thank you. Best, Rik
Oo Rik you looked as though you were really enjoying that pasty , my mouth is watering I will be making these very soon , I’ve always worried about the filling being cooked so have cooked mine separate before putting into the pastry but those look great and I will do them your way with your pastry too 👌thank you , Amanda xx😋
Hope you enjoy. You got this. You are brilliant in the kitchen. Look at all the recipes you make for your family. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef thank you Rik 😘
Well done, Rik! I use a bit of lamb as well as the tatty's and swede's, but that looks incredible!
Sounds great! Thank you. Best, Rik
Fabulous, thanks Rik !!
Thank you. Best, Rik
Very good. Another one of my favourites. 🍂🍃🌈
Thank you! Cheers! Best, Rik
Great recipe, Rik. Traditional Cornish pasty. I've noticed that these days, a lot of "cornish pasties" use minced beef, which is not authentic, skirt, or chuck usually, but it needs to be cubed as you say and not minced, lovely 👍
Yes. How recipes change. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef Not always for the better unfortunately
Rik, I learned to make them from a family friend from the Upper Penninsula of Michigan. Our recipe is so close to yours. We do a mix of beef and pork.
That is awesome! Yes your pasties over in Michigan look amazing. Thank you. Best, Rik
..I’m a bit obsessed with pasties at the moment. I will buy ready rolled puff ( or I will make hot water paste) depends on the filling . But you can literally make a pasty from anything . 😊
Yes mate, the good thing as they were designed as the original takeaway - take to work etc etc. Best, Rik
Can you please do a minced beef cobbler? My daughter and i watch your demos and she wants to have a go. She has done some of your recipes and finds them easy to follow. She is disabled so finds some things hard to do. Its lovely to watch someone who does everyday cooking instead of a lot of the "tv chefs" who use expensive ingredients and the end result is a letdown. Thank you.
Hi, Diana. I will make that this week coming - let your daughter know this will be for her. I will make a classic easy version as always. Love to both of you. Thank you. Best, Rik.
I love to see pastry being made, It has become a thing off the past with ready bought, Which is just not on the same page as home made.
Thank you. Best, Rik
There is a small shop in my little bitty town, that makes sausage and pasties. I stop in once a week and always get the traditional one made just like this( some times he adds carrots or leaks also), he also has sausage and venison kinds too. Thes are absolutely delicious. Now that you have showed us all the trick to easy pastry dough, we won't have to give our money to these guys so often eh? :) Home made anything is always better anyway right? Thanks Rik.
You are very welcome. Homemade always mate. Best, Rik
cant wait to make these great video Rik keep up the great work
Glad you like them! Thank you. Best, Rik
Great video
Thank you. Best, Rik
I love Cornish pasties!
Yes, I agree. Even with turnip or swede. Best, Rik
Look great RIK.
Cheers, mate. Best, Rik
I want one NOW!!!!
Me too! Best, Rik
Hiya Rik, just made your “LEMON DRIZZLE CAKE” turned out lovely now having to hide it from my hubby before he eats it all, greedy bugger😅keep up the brilliant vlogs, from HEATHER in. SCOTLAND 👍🏻
Cheers, Heather. Hide away. Thank you. Best, Rik
Hallo Richard. Das macht Sinn, ist leicht zu verstauen ist lecker und macht satt. Wurde wahrscheinlich unter Tage gegessen, da sich ein ausfahren zeitlich nicht rentieren würde. Und da die füllung variabel ist hast du immer was anderes zu essen. Ich probiere es einfach mal aus. 😊
Ja, eine variable Füllung sorgt jedes Mal für eine andere Option, wenn es gemacht wird. Hoffe, du probierst es aus. Beste Grüße, Rik
This is a world wide concept. So many wonderful variations.
Search and explore
Perogies , dumplings, South American, Spring rolls
the options are endless and again the humble pie
Not sure about the Thai? I've lived here 20 years, might not be a name we use. Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef Thanks
Another recipe on my to try list! I really don’t like turnip could I use swede in it’s place?
Yes of course! Hope you enjoy. Best, Rik
I'm here in gods country Cornwall and have the same oven which I really like, I intend to make pasties for family when they visit soon. Thanks for a great video. As we've left the eu I'm guessing protected status might have disappeared.
Ha ha ha but have we left? You are very welcome. Best, Rik
Looks absolutely delicious Rik.
Thanks so much. Best, Rik
Hi loved the video, how many pasties would this recipe make, as a ex RN now living on Norfolk Island, would love to give this recipe a try - Ron
Nice one, Ron makes 6 good pasties with this recipe. Best, Rik
I love me a pasty! I make mine with swede instead of white turnip, and place a knob of butter on top of the filling ingredients. I've even heard some people use a dollop of clotted cream instead of butter! (I also make my own clotted cream.) EDIT: Just saw to the end where you suggest the butter.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Filled to the brim as they should be👌👍 fantastic Rik!
Always mate. Best, Rik

Thank you for all the amazing content and a quick question- can I use any kind of vinegar? I've only got red wine v at the moment...
I've never used it, do not see why not though! Thank you. Best, Rik
Yum! Recipe just for me ❤ thank you 😊
My pleasure 😊Thank you. Best, Rik
Ayup Rick, great video as always, good to see a Cornish pasty properly stuffed with filling and not a huge space between it and the pastry so it stays moist.
On a separate note is there any way you could do a video on flaky pastry?
Thanks 👍On it - Best, Rik
great video! I am going to try make these this weekend, can you tell me how many pasties in total this recipe makes please?
Six. Best, Rik
i love pasty's especially if got lots of white pepper in them . cheers rik
Yes. The good thing when making your own - you can add as much as you like. I love pepper in mine. Best, Rik
Spot On Rik.... Propper Job ! 👌👌👌
Thanks, Michael. Simplicity is a great choice. I do like pies with gravy in though. Best, Rik
Awesome as usual Rik…probably the best trad pasty…
You got that right! Yes a good Cornish lovely. We are all used to pies with gravy in or over herbed fillings, forgetting the simple salt and pepper. Thank you. Best, Rik
Lovely Rik 🙂 we live in Devon though my other half is Cornish.... needless to say, he favours a Cornish pasty.
Thank you. Yes he will. Spent some time down there in Ivybridge. Love Bigbury, well all of that area to be honest. Best, Rik
Brilliant Rik 👌 since we are talking local delicacy Cullen stink is from my way ! Tastes superb and easy to make 👍
Great 👍Ingredients are a tad difficult to get hold of - trying though. Best, Rik
Amazing rik, any chance of making some exercise videos? 😂
I had the pleasure of working with an ex Royal Navy chef in a care home, he taught me to peel a swede by slicing it like you did, the use a small knife to run around the edge to remove the skin. I have not looked back. He did teach me a few techniques i have carried on using.
Ha ha ha, I need it too! Sounds like you watched and learned. Good on ya mate. Best, Rik

I believe that the Cornish pasty also had stewed apple in one 1/3 end as the "Dessert" after the miners ate the 2/3rds savoury part, so 2 courses in one 😊....
Yes, indeed! Some did, Neil you are correct. Best, Rik
Seems like the housewives of long ago were pretty clever ladies, taking good care of their men. Enjoyed your comment.
The are the true chef's of the world even today. Having to make a different meal everyday. Best, Rik @@dianeanderson8038
@@BackyardChef spot on!
Looks like I'm going to be busy next week 😂?cheers Ric,from BIGMICK IN THE UK 🇬🇧
Nice one, mate. A steady one. Best, Rik
Rik, how big is the stone pastry board . Cheers
Yummy!
Thanks Ric.
You bet! Thank you. Best, Rik
I would think some garlic and herbs like thyme might be good along with the salt and pepper. How would you adjust the recipe for the pastry if you have large eggs instead of medium eggs?
Great idea! I wouldn't. The pastry will be fine with a medium or large. Best, Rik
You are free to add whatever you want but they won’t be Cornish pasties then.
Personally I prefer swede in my pasty, that’s how my mum and granny and my granny’s granny,s granny made them. There is a good story from Plymouth where for a long time there were two popular pasty shops -Ron Dewdney’s and Ivor Dewdney’s and you were either a customer of one or the other. They were brothers who both claimed to be making their mother’s recipe but one used turnip and one used swede. Apparently they became fierce rivals and came to blows in the street, taking their feud to the grave!!!
Wow! Thanks for sharing. Thank you. Best, Rik
A seen somewhere these pasties had a savory side and sweet xide,these look great Rik
Some do, you are correct. Not these. Best, Rik
Great Stuff Rik Thanks
My pleasure!! Thank you. Best, Rik
Another straightforward Banger mate
Thank you. Best, Rik
Rik, sometimes when I buy a Cornish Pasty, the filling seems to have something like a mashed potato in it which gives the filling a softer centre. Could you used mashed potato instead of a cubed one ? Yours look amazing and I will have to give them a go
There are many versions from the original. Taste and adapt to whatever you enjoy. I always say that - take no notice of the original recipe, If you want to make original then you do, however don't ever get hung up on it, a twist or turn in a recipe creates something you like. Unlike many folks who are so adamant how things should be they actually do not cook in the house, they eat others cook. Enjoy cooking! Best, Rik
