A traditional cornish pasty will not have carrots instead it will be turnip (yellow) or more commonly known in the USA as rutubaga.

The Cornish Pasty is a traditional English pasty and considered the national dish of Cornwall. It's a hand pie filled with beef, potato, swede (rutabaga) and onion. Traditionally a beef skirt cut is used for Cornish pasty. However if, like me, you can't find beef skirt, try to find another nice cut of beef that will cook in the same amount.
Instructions to make Cornish Pasties:
- Cut the butter into small pieces and put into a bowl with the flour and 1 tsp salt.
- mix by hand and when it starts to firm up, add the 6 tablespoons of water and mix some more.
- Remove the pastry from the bowl
- then cut into 4 pieces and put in the fridge for 20 minutes
- Mix together the beef, pepper, 1/2 tsp salt and the diced onion, potato and carrot in another bowl. (try adding turnips and/or peas if available!)
- Preheat your oven to 220C, then take the chilled pastry pieces out of the fridge and roll into a 12" square
- Then cut out a circle
- and dollop 1/4 of your beef filling mixture into the middle.
- Fold over the pastry and curl over the edge to form a crust. Press the edges with a fork for a nice decoration
- Place on a greased or lined baking tray, then lightly brush with your egg wash. Cook for 30 minutes at 180C
The Origin of the Cornish Pasty. The Cornish pasty has a unique and interesting history that goes back centuries. Cornwall had the biggest tin mining and one of the biggest copper mining industries in the world and the pasties were originally developed for Cornish miners. That's because to make this to its original, and very sturdy specifications, you're forced to over-mix the dough; a cardinal sin that literally gives pie makers nightmares. It's a tangible reminder of its mining past, although people now eat them whenever a quick and portable meal is.
