The baking and the cutting

Make sure you sprinkle flour on your baking tray, it prevents sticking. Pre-heat your oven 200fan/220c/Gas 7.

Baking a meat pasty

Bake for 30 minutes and check. Turn the

tray and bake for a further 20 minutes. Turn off the oven

and leave the pasties in, with the oven door closed for

another 15 minutes.

If you find that your pasties are brown enough after

the 30 minutes turn the oven down to 140fan/160c/Gas 3

for the following 20 minutes.

Baking a veggie pasty

I used a fan oven and baked for 20 minutes, then

turned the tray for a further 20 minutes, turned off the

oven and left, with door closed, for a further 10 minutes

baked and beautiful – even though I say so myself!

anyone fancy a pasty?

In a word – yum!
