Best recipe review Still prefer mine 4/5 I know they're not 'authentic' but I far prefer my Cornish pasties made at home. Paul R Smith

However, I hope that the following recipe is as near as you can get to genuine. I will be in trouble with my mother if not, as she lives in Cornwall and is a stickler for authenticity.

Chef's notes

A proper Cornish pasty is D-shaped and is crimped only on the curved side of the D. --JuliaBalbilla 14:44, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
