Cornish Pasty

This recipe was taken from a compilation of recipes edited by Algernon Percy published in 1916. The idea was to have readers send in recipes which their grandparents would have used in a bid to remind cooks of the pre-war period and give them hope for a future where their grandchildren could produce a similar meal.




1/2lb. flour, 2ozs. of any fat, dripping or lard, 1 tea-spoonful baking powder, a little water or milk, make into a stiff paste; take some potatoes, wash, peel, then cut into thin slices. Add a little beef or any meat you may have. Season with pepper and salt.









Here's one we made earlier!!
