When you add the filling put a nob of butter on the top of the filling, this combines with the juices from the meat and veg to make a lovely juice filling in the pasty. We like to eat them about 30-45 minutes after they come out of the oven ideally, depends on the size 7" regular or 9" large. Take care, God bless, One and all. edit : adding acouple of slits in the crown of the pasty helps the pasty from leaking, ones without slits tend to have thicker pastry.

Y
You can add a nob of butter inside or a teaspoonfull of water to steam it from the inside or some people put a small amount of clotted cream inside please pasty

Hi Christopher! Thank you so much for the lovely comment. My wife and I have opened a restaurant so this channel hasn't had any attention from me for ages. I've just logged on and seen I've now got 1000 subscribers and loads of lovely comments! Really means the world to me. Thank you so much!

Did you crimp them with boxing gloves on?

[@chefrick247]

I'm not expert lol. These are training videos for amature chefs. They might not be the prettiest but they taste amazing

What can I use instead of yellow sweede I can't find in Ecuador ? Best regards

[@jennystrong8722]

turnips

[@eac-guy7272]

We don't have turnips in the Caribbean 😢

What can you substitute the lard with?

[@denisearmstrong5490]

You can use any of the oils eg… coconut, vegetable, olive oil etc. I would work the butter in and then add enough oil to bind (Chef Rick’s Mum 😁)

More butter.

[@chopjockey]

Natural Butter and Lard is the healthy option. Avoid vegetable oils and margarine like the plague if you value your health... ruclips.net/video/tSZNsYT3I-Y/видео.html

A well made video but you made lots of mistakes, no butter added to the filling and you did not create a vent hole so that's why they inflated like a balloon and so the meat was also steamed, just to mention a few!.

[@Joeysticks85]

I agree with you about the butter and maybe a sprinkle of flour to create a gravy inside but there is no need for a vent hole. I’ve tried that and the juice just runs out and you get juice marks all over your pastie

[@harrybond007]

@@Joeysticks85 must have a vent hole, you must be doing something wrong if your juice runs uphill

[@Joeysticks85]

@@harrybond007 I don't use vent holes anymore and they come out fine..

Here I go as a negative Nancy. See about your knife skills. Jaques Peppin is someone to watch at the art. There is no one better. All the cutting you did could have been done in 1/3 the time and effort. Jaques Peppin.

[@PaulHigham666]

Cornish pasties are always cooked raw. It's skirt. You find it at the top of brisket.

[@The-new-carnivore-me]

To not see it cut open was really disappointing.

[@Glenrsi]

For video purpose, nothing more. 😞

[@Joeysticks85]

But it was cut open… 🤷‍♂️
