I love cornish pasties, but can't seem to get the crust exactly right. Does anyone have a recipe for these yummy treats?

I don't, but you might want to try the DIS uk board...I've asked for "english" recipe help there before and have gotten lots of answers!
 
My great-grandfather was from Cornwall, England and a miner in the Upper Pennisula. I have a recipe from my grandmother that is supposed to be pretty authentic - at least as it was adapted up there! :p It used ground beef instead of the original rabbit.

The crust is essentially a pie cruse recipe but uses lard instead of butter. I remember her telling me that lard was important to keep the crust from getting soggy - also the gravy shouldn't be too "watery". She taught me to make it with just a little bit of the rendering from browning the ground beef, the consistency was almost like a white sauce - but obviously brown. She added whatever root vegetables she had on hand but carrots, potatoes and rutabagas are a must!

Good luck.

Thanks for the recipe ideas. I never use lard, but could give it a try. I generally use ground cube steak in mine. I would love to go back to Cornwall and walk by the shore of the Atlantic.... but I digress.

Thanks again
