- I think just about every one of our Uk friends has asked me to try my hand at making pasties. So I am finally getting around to it. I hope that I do this Cornish classic justice! Heck I even went and found rutabagas! Thanks to our friend Ollie for providing his favorite recipe!

Jess you’re now a pucker Cornish pasty maker! You did a great job with the other swede peel dice and mash with butter salt and pepper mmmmmmmm
I had a little extra veg mix left after making the pasties I roasted it off and ate it up! So good! I think I am a fan of swede! ❤Jess
Hey guys, Im a brit and I really enjoy watching americans sampling british food. The few ive seen where they attempt to make a british food in the kitchen nearly always have errors, even simple foods like marmite on toast or beans on toast.
But you guys knocked this out of the park. That looked super aithentic! Im seriously impressed
A good way to have swede (rutabagas) is to dice it along with the same amount of carrots, boil until they are softened, add a knob of butter and a little salt and pepper. Mash it all together and serve........Goes well with most meats.
Now that is a proper Cornish pasty, because their pasties only have potato, onion, swede and beef in. Other areas of the UK usually add peas, carrots and the meat is minced not in chunks. You did a fantastic job.
I was excited to find swede here aka rutabaga! ❤Jess
@@BigJonTV I was thinking what is rutabaga hahaha. Funny how the names differ from Country to Country.
@@BigJonTV They call swede/rutabaga "turnips" or "neeps" in Scotland, which confused the hell out of me when I cooked a haggis supper for some Scottish friends of mine. Haggis is traditionally served with "neeps and tatties" (turnips and potatoes), and I used ordinary white turnips, not swede. They really didn't work too well, and it took forever to mash the little critters, too.
Also, you probably don't know but I remember back in the 70s when pumpkins were not that commonly found in the UK, that we used to make what I think you call Jack o lanterns at Halloween, from large swedes rather than pumpkins. I remember the first time we ever got a pumpkin, my older brother travelled to a farm, a couple of bus rides away to get one. It was so large that the bus driver on the way home actually stopped outside our house and helped him off the bus with it. We pushed that thing around in my old push chair (stroller) from house to house, in kind of trick or treating fashion, before trick or treat was really even heard of over here. It was more like carol singing but with Halloween songs. Pumpkins can be bought in any supermarket around Halloween these days, for as little as £1.
Turnip lanterns were the original Halloween lanterns in Ireland where Samhain (Halloween) originated.
@@stephaniehamilton6217 I guess that's why we ended up using swedes then. This is fascinating as that's plainly also where the going door to door dressed up comes from, reciting verse in exchange for food. Thanks Stephanie!
Well done you are now an honorary Cornish girl. You can now call them Cornish pasties to your heart's content. :)
That's sum maid!
Yes, we buy Cornish pasties like the sausage rolls... we're so bloody lazy in the UK!! Or maybe it's because we are saving energy and time to get stuck into a two hour process of cooking a full Sunday roast... not many people buy those in supermarkets... but.. *sigh* so many local pubs and restaurants do fabulous Sunday roasts... we just eat out on Sundays a lot... saves on all that washing up after! 😅 Nope... we're just lazy!😖
Oh wow... you're first attempt at Cornish Pasties looks wonderful! I really appreciate the way you take the time to get all your facts correct about British food... not everyone is so thorough. It makes a change not to have to say in the comments... "it's not quite like that."
Pastry is best rolled on a cold surface, like a marble slab and cold hands too,. Good job. Love the Irish music
Glad you enjoyed, the secret is the meat & veg cook together in the case. I was raised, man & boy for 40 years on Plymouth & Cornwall pasties. The bakery shops cannot hide as the aroma wafts down the street. As a boy, my best mate's mum used to make huge ones, wall to wall of the oven, slice em up & feed us kids anytime of day while sticking band-aids to our knees & elbows. As they say in Cornwall "proper job me anzum".
Wow. Jess, you did a marvelous job. I was one of those who asked you to make a pasty. You must have done them proud when Big Jon mentioned the pepper. Your family is so lucky to have real wholesome home cooked food. Nowadays people eat fast or convenient foods.
My mum told us that in the war (WW2) it was hard to get fresh beef to eat so they would make pasties with corned beef, onion and mashed potato, sometimes other veg was also added if available, it wasn't a true pasty but it was better than going hungry, I've tried it and it's not at all bad.
Jess, your video made my day! I am a Michigan girl married to a Yooper from Ontonagon, which is at the base of the Keweenaw Peninsula in the UP. It's mining and logging country up there with a heavy influence of Norwegian, Finnish, English, and Swedish folks. We love pasties, though I held a firm dislike of them when I was a kid. 😂🙃 My filling is very similar to yours although sometimes I swap out the cubed beef for ground pork and I don't add bouillon. We love rutabaga! And I use a hot water crust. I typically portion the dough out first and then roll it. We stash these, unbaked, in the freezer and enjoy them whenever the mood strikes. And always and exclusively with ketchup -- when it comes to pasties, we are not gravy people. 😀😁 I prefer to make my own and when my husband and I were first dating, I made them for a picnic. As he was eating one, he told me they were just like the ones that his grandma.....bought from the freezer aisle. He has never lived that 'compliment' down, and he does insist it was a compliment: he meant that they looked professionally made. 😉🙃
Almost got hypnotized by the kneading of the dough lol .
This is a another recipe that I am going to be doing for my dinner tomorrow your lady is a queen in the kitchen she's a better cook than me lol my cooking skills are about 4 out of 10 but excellent food and excellent video as well as as always lot of love to you and your wonderful family big John and God bless you all 💞💞💞💞❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😃😀👍
That was great. Excellent job.
WELL DONE JESS, WHAT A FANTASTIC JOB YOU DID.. JUST SHOWS YOU CAN DO ANYTHING, WHEN YOU PUT YOUR MIND TO IT.. THEY LOOK SUPER..

those are the best looking cornish pasties i have ever seen
Looks good you did a great job 👍 jess
Nice job, they looked pretty authentic!
Swede/rutabaga is nice as an alternative to mashed potatoes. Give it plenty of butter, salt & pepper, and maybe mix some mashed carrot into it too. Yum!
Being from cornwall the proper filling is chuck or skirt steak, potato,onion and turnip/swede. Make sure you season twice!
Looks great, some of us in Cornwall would put some parsley (personal choice in) and a knob of butter plus a sprinkle of flour to thicken the juice.
They look superb and very tasty, another great recipe for Swede is Lobscouse which is very popular in Liverpool (where they got their nickname) and North Wales, it's a meat and vegetable stew which has big chunks of swede in it, it's one of those staple dishes I've eaten my whole life and still make at least once a fortnight in the winter, it originates from Norway, and a few years ago I had Goulash cooked by a Hungarian cook and it reminded me a lot of Lobscouse, just with Paprika added, I guess meat and vegetable stew is a universal dish after all!
Great video good to see good home cooking 😀🇬🇧🏴
Excellent Jess - they look like the ones you can buy in Cornwall
Wow Jess, I love it when you cook traditional UK food to try. This was fantastic as always. Did you know they used the folded bit of pastry as the handle and didn't eat that bit as it would be covered in coal dust from their hands? Also, one end of the pasty sometimes had a sweet filling, as their dessert, all in one package.
They were Tin miners in Cornwall not coal miners, but their hands would have arsenic on them so not eating the crust was a good idea.
@@fossy4321 I stand corrected, thanks Fossy.
HighHoe Kermit Kermit and fozzy I mean fossie 😂 best comment convo ever
@@stevemorganexperience7833 Haha I didn't even notice the names!
@@stevemorganexperience7833 well spotted 😂😂
In the north of England we use swede love mashed potatoes we peel chop boil and mash with just butter salt and pepper and serve it on a Sunday roast delicious
The original pastie was in two parts, one part having the meat in it and the other having a jam or preserved fruit in it, so you'd have your main course and desert in the one package.
This is an amazing channel that deserves hundreds of thousands of subs! Such a wholesome perspective that truly is so family friendly and inclusive of everyone in your household. Love the channel SO MUCH!! Thank-you for the great content and the unique approach to your channel. It's the best! Have you ever considered renaming your channel to a more inclusive name? I think there are a lot of folks who would embrace a name that would reflect what your channel is all about. It's not just about Big Jon (although he is terrific), but it is about the rest of the family, as well. Date night was great, but still kinda missed the kids. Maybe y'all could have a contest to rename the channel; there would be a ton of great ideas from your subscribers. Just an idea; your viewership should be so much higher and making you so much more $, as the content is so much superior to other channels. Thank-you for all you share. You are all loved!
Thank you so very much!! Honestly, yes, we have been discussing changing our name! All the reasons that you mention are 100% accurate! What our channel is about now isnt what I had envisioned when I first started. But I love our style! I think it will end up being something like BigJon's House. We'll make a decision soon, because we want to sell merch soon! Thank you for your support!
Just a little tip , before folding he pastry over and crimping the edges place a small knob of butter in with the filling , excellent job you did
Thank you! ❤Jess
The pasties looked delicious, we have another pasty recipe that is made by boiling potatoes onions and carrot, then mash them with corned beef, then fill pastry and bake in the oven, I do mine on a plate, and slice into pieces mmm 😘
I don't know about other people but personally I buy them as a quick lunch sometimes. And there are pasty shops in the UK who mostly do pasties :) I have a pasty shop in my town :)
Thanks for uploading guys they look yummmy
Well done Jess, good homemade cooking, love how Jon always comes in at the end for a taste!
Yes he is quite a bit of a character. I love it.
wow great job!!!!! they looked way better than the ones I try to make! I need to step up and make my own pastry. So impressed!!! The miners used the crust to hold it with so their dirty hands didn't get on the bit they were eating, but that's my fav part. Thank you so much for making this video!
Thanks for the recipe!! ❤Jess
I haven’t read all the comments so forgive me if someone already suggested this but with your left over swede, you could do a carrot and swede mash, either on its own with butter and milk or incorporate in with mashed potatoes, it tastes amazing. Btw, those pasties look incredible and I’ve never made one, just buy them but after watching this, I might have a go.😀
I'm from Cornwall and can say that you did a proper job as we say in Cornwall. Next time poke once in the top with a fork so that the excess steam can escape. Proper splann my 'an some 😊😊😊
It's lovely how you have embraced our foods, I hope you make many more new foods.
Mash swede into potato mash it’s divine x
Those Cornish pasties look amazing Jess x
Great vid Jess. Swede is delish. I always put loads in my stews. Or on our Sunday dinners... Swede and carrot mash yum. x
I am new here ,im muslim but i love your videos nd you are such a beautiful personality holder,so calm you r,love from uk🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I've never made pastry dough from scratch. I usually buy store bought, wonder if that would work. I love English foods so this would be fun to try. Also, I love Maddie's hair in this video, very cute style.
Don't worry about it luv, for the record the pasty was actually invented in Devon and the cornish take the credit for it.
well all I can say is wow well done and that is coming from someone who lives on the border of Devon and Cornwall, you did a great job :)
Thank you quite a compliment! ❤Jess
First time i have saw these videos nice to see you try uk foods..
We eat them and sausage rolls while we are walking round a shopping centre lol
mmmmm love a cornish pasty,we add small chunks of carrots to ours nom nom !
Your Cornish style pasties look absolutely tasty. I tend to use the ready made short crust pastry for my pasties. I am loving your vids, keep up the great work.
Looks good.
I'm Cornish, try it next time adding onions and a knob of butter!
That looks splann! (Fantastic in Cornish). You'll be a proper Cornish maid in no time!
Another excellent job Jess! What's Cookin Wednesday is quickly becoming my favourite video of the week and I really look forward to them! I normally buy everything pre-made for convenience but you leave me feeling so inspired to try home made so I will be having a go myself this weekend :)
Cornish pasties were for fishermen & miners who could not easily wash their hands the former from fish intestines the latter from mining dust which contsined heavey metals & Arsenic, Held by the crust that was discarded, food for gulls & fish or Rats down the mine that would cull the rodents
Love your show Jess
Wow that looks so yummy u nailed it.. it looks like *empanada*..love it..thsnks.love from Philippines
When I was young, most families ate home made pasties made to the size of your dinner plate, but these days people buy small versions from bakeries.
The idea was you used the plate you will eat from to cut the circle of pastry for your pasty, that way it always fit.
Tip: the filling settles better without lots of big air pockets if you chip the veg into thinner slices. eg. those cubes should be cut in half for the right consistency.
English pastys often have peas or carrots in and a wiggly join on the top, because the English couldn't master the fine Cornish crimp (it is a knack to the crimp).
Generally the Cornish pasty is made with shortcrust pastry, but many prefer flaky so they are equally common.
Beef Steak should always be used. Either skirt steak (marbled) or chuck steak (lean) is what we use here. Other fillings are no longer a Cornish pasty, so there is not much discussion around favourite recipe. Only salt and pepper for seasoning, and the balance of the ingredients adjusted for preference.
If the beef does it's job it should make it's own gravy which filters through the veg. You shouldn't need extra flavours in there like oxo or added beef stock.
I would suggest your tip for oxo came from someone that uses lean meat or not much of it.
Can you please correct the text ? The Cornish Pasty is from "Cornwall" which is next to England ,not in it.
Which text are you referring to?
@@BigJonTV the section in the info that says "I hope that I do this English classic justice!".
BTW. glad you enjoyed them. Like most Cornish I eat them every week (I've even written poems about the humble pasty).
When you cross the big pond and arrive on the shores of England 1st stop Greggs the bakers ,pasties with meat and potato,swede and carrot/slices with steak in gravy/chicken-mushroom in a creamy sauce and the most sold sausage rolls in the country,the place is a bit of a cult with a store in just about every town.then there’s the Cornish pastie shops with just about anything you can think of in pastry.
We will have so many foods and restaurants to try!! ❤Jess
Great stuff, Jess. Well done ! I just love your channel & also, these cooking videos. In fact, all your videos. 👍
"Although of course I can't call it a pastie because I'm not in Cornwall, so I'll just call it a pastie" that really tickled me. 😂 I'm going to use that line next time I have one.
You should make a Belfast Pastie. A completely different dish, made from sausage meat and batter.
Excellent job well done....from uk
I’m glad that you have gotten around to making your own pasties, next time you could possibly make them with a fruit filling at one end of the pastie, or if you are still nervous about them being savoury and sweet why not just make a sweet version, a favourite of my mothers was to add a bit of sugar to the pastry mix , then split the dough roughly in two, roll them out to about the same size then spread one liberally with jam, sandwich the second piece of dough on top and use a fork to lightly crimp the edges, then slide the whole thing onto a baking sheet and into the oven. When cooked and cooled she would cut it into servings which could be eaten hot or cold as you feel. Sometimes my father would take a couple of pieces with him to work with his sandwiches but he had to hide them from his workmates as they were not above stealing them.
WOW they look amazing Jess . I love your cooking videos . Please don't stop I look forward to every Wednesday. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Great job , i love making my own
They looked amazing! Great job Jess.. my favourite are cheese and onion pasties
I've been craving pasty for a few days now. Seeing this vid has enhanced my craving. You did a great job!
Wow!! U r awesome. Pastry making again and You make it look so easy.. swede is a must for these pasties too. Glad u included..💞
I was excited to find swede (aka rutabaga)! ❤Jess
These look delicious!!! My mouth was watering watching you eat them 🤟🏻
Iv had pasties every week since I was a kid. Tomato ketchup is a must.
Also, swedes are hugely popular in the UK. We even mash them together with potato, it’s called potch here in Wales. We have that with a gravy dinner. So a roast meat, green veggies, potch, gravy. Yorkshire pudding. Mmmmmm!!!!
They looked great made me hungry.
Great attempt 👍they look great
Thay look yummy and l all so love the cornbeef pasty thay are worth trying as well l would definitely be trying this thanks how long did you say that thay took to cook you are such a great home mead cook thanks for sharing xx
Where I live in The Upper Peninsula of Michigan there are a lot of Finnish Folks here and Pasties are a hugh food staple here! We fill them with ground beef , carrots ,potatoes and rudabaga
Lovely video. .cornwall is a lovely part of the uk although I live up north
Yummmm You made Cornish Pasties - sorry "pasties" - who'd have thought it lol lol (anyone watching the live show yesterday lol) look awesome Jess, as always - never seen you do a duff cook yet - go you. We get so many artisan pasties, sausage rolls etc - just a waste of time makimg your own from scratch - love the vid - till next time
You made everything looks so simple! I bet they were delicious 😋 I like the video!!!
Good to see there was no carrots, I hate when you go to a pie shop and they've put carrots in a pasty, Would be cool to see you make Bacon and egg pies or Lancashire hot pot if you haven't done so already
They look delicious!
I love how you home make different foods from the UK x
I've never made one but do enjoy a good cornish pastie!
I was so ready to mock and moan about these because to me they are 'holy ground' food......but you did a sterling job on those, I was impressed. They are sadly a dying breed in England as they aren't cool but they are super tasty and if you want osmething to try fo rnext time try Steak pudding with suet pastry (trust me it's worth the hassle!)
OMG Jess! Those look so dang yummy. I need those in my life. Keeping recipe till I find someone that can make them for me.
Looks good !
nice! 👍🏼❤️
i love cornish pasties. my go to if i can’t get my absolute favourites Forfar bridies and onion bridies which are quite similar to a cornish.
would love to see you make scotch pies. even a bean and tattie pie. 😁
Yum they look great ! Bloomin hungry now x😊
Those look really good. I love making homemade food. Thanks for the cooking vlog
Jess you are amazing, Cornish Pasties from scratch. I think you would give Paul Hollywood a run for his money in the kneeding stakes. They looked delicious...and now you've cooked Swede (AKA Neeps) you are all set for Burns Night.
You need to visit Cornwall especially st ives Cornwall is beautiful
Well done jess I'm feeling hungry after this.
You ought to do a steak and kidney pudding, lambs kidney gives the better ‘sweeter’ taste ox kidney is cheaper but has a stronger flavour and go for the cheaper cuts of beef such as stewing steak
They look exactly like my Nanna's pasties. Great job!! I think you must have some Brit blood in you!! ;)
I acctually do! ❤Jess
spot on xx
Another brilliant video Jess. I could watch you cook all day! New RUclips channel perhaps??? 😁😁😁
Fantastic Cornish pasties jess. You pleated the edges beautifully x
Thank you! I though they looked terrible...although it did improve by the 4th one! ❤Jess
Hiya. Great job, Jess. You'll have to try a Bakewell Pudding, now. Lol. NOT a Bakewell Tart, a Bakewell Pudding. Looks like a disaster, but tastes GREAT! All the best to you.
I love Cornish pasties🥟
looks better then most of the ones we buy in England hope you enjoyed them all :)
Mostly bought from bakeries. They looked absolutely fantastic, you might need to open a British bakery over there
Try cheese and onion ones..or corned beef and potato hash ones..
Well done you!!! I’m far too lazy to make those from scratch 😂
your right it is a turnip, just another one of those things called different names by area also called a neep in scotland ,as in haggis,neeps and tatties,pasty,s looked great
We typically buy them only my nan makes her own homemade! But we put mince in them typically but well done xxx
They look fantastic. Still think you should try our local Bedfordshire clanger. ❤️😍😊
They turned out great so that’s a traditional Cornish pasty but we do many different fillings. The newest one I tried was chicken, Cinzano, and mature cheddar cheese
Cinzano, the alcoholic drink? Did you mean chorizo?
yes my mistake that auto input for you
