What is a genuine cornish pasty?
A genuine Cornish pasty has a distinctive 'D' shape
and is crimped on one side, never on top. The texture of the filling
for
the pasty is chunky, made up of uncooked minced or roughly cut chunks
of beef (not less than 12.5%), swede or turnip, potato and onion and a
light peppery seasoning.
The pastry casing is golden in colour, savoury, glazed with milk or egg
and robust enough to retain its shape throughout the cooking and
cooling process without splitting or cracking. The whole pasty is
slow-baked to ensure that flavours from the raw ingredients are
maximised. No flavourings or additives must be used. And, perhaps most
importantly, it must also be made in Cornwall.
