来自康沃尔馅饼..... that's Chinese for Cornish pasty

[Aardvark]

I used the Cornish pasty association for a reference, basically 4 ingredients, beef ,potato ,onion , turnip and seasoning. only problem was turnip, but found an alterative that works well. as for pastry it seemed now real norm, puff, ruff puff or short crust are all acceptable. being puff is the easiest pastry for this climate I stick to that. seasoning is a bit of a bugger, first batch a little too salty for my liking but customers seem happy, and pepper I can't seem to put enough in, last batch of 16 pasties had a whopping 45g of pepper, but I love pepper so maybe more in the next batch. the only real issues is size, I got the crimping spot on after many failures , but to crimp it can be fiddly if you try to make them small, where as if you make 10in ones easy to crimp but they look big enough to feed king kong.
all in all very happy with results so far. got the urge to try some other flavors as not everyone likes beef, maybe ground bacon, cheese, tomato and potato , what do you think ? kind of a breakfast pasty, definitely not Cornish though.

Nice to see someone who's not afraid to experiment with food <:>

well the daughter came round late last night t help out, she decided to make some of our own recipe dark whole wheat bread, woke up this morning to find perfectly baked bread.....
well sort of .LMFAO , I forgot to tell her how to form it, so instead of a nice round rustic looking ball, I got a dozen of the largest brown bread burger buns I have ever seen, 10in across weighing in at 500g I mean bloody huge buns, but they look good for sure, sometime thing donn't' quite go to plan :rofl: . so sitting here wondering what the hell I can do with them ? for a sandwich, you need 500g of ham, 6 tomatoes ,1 whole lettuce and a giant pot of mustard and be really hungry . and i don't think there's much call for them, I suggest they would make great soup bread, so of there are any soup lovers that like ripping chunks off a loaf I got a deal for you. 3 loaves for 100 baht or are they jumbo sandwich buns

going to stick to that recipe, nice bit of black pepper , now 100% best pasty around, nothing compares even in the slightest. my old recipe is now history, although I will make the old style to order if anyone wants. got a few for dinner today. so cream chicken and ham soup with brown bread and butter, cottage pie with mixed veg , and if I have enough containers ,lemon steamed pudding with custard. lucky for me my diet don't include Sundays
very slow on the forums
