What I Ate Today

I watched an episode of the Hairy Bikers‘ recent TV series “Hairy Bakers”.  It was about Pies and Pasties.  I was inspired to make my own Pasty because it looked so incredibly simple.   

I loosely followed the recipe from the programme which can be found here.  I par-boiled  the potatoes and swede (which were in small cubes) and choped up the steak.  While the veg was boiling, I made the pastry (short crust) in the food processor.   Once rolled, draw around a plate to get a pastry circle.  You then just pile up the ingredients, crimp up, glaze with egg and bake.  Yum.  Sadly the only circular plate I own was huge, so the ensuing pasty was big enough to feed the beast of Bodmin Moor.
