👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
For the pastry: Rub the butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs. Gradually add cold water until a firm dough forms. Wrap in cling film and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- 2
For the filling: In a large bowl, combine the lamb, diced carrots, swede, onion, and potatoes. Add the chopped thyme and rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- 3
Heat the stock in a saucepan and pour over the lamb and vegetable mixture. Stir to combine.
- 4
Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/Gas Mark 6). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 5
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry to about 3mm thickness. Cut out 6 circles, approximately 20cm in diameter.
- 6
Spoon the lamb and vegetable filling onto one half of each pastry circle, leaving a border. Moisten the edges with water, then fold the other half of the pastry over to create a semi-circle. Crimp the edges firmly to seal.
- 7
Place the pasties on the prepared baking sheet. Cut a small slit in the top of each pasty to allow steam to escape. Brush with the beaten egg wash.
- 8
Bake for 15 minutes at 200°C, then reduce the oven temperature to 180°C (160°C fan/Gas Mark 4) and bake for a further 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is cooked through.

Allow to cool slightly before serving.
💡 Conseils de pro
- ✓Ensure all vegetables are diced finely and uniformly for even cooking.
- ✓Don't overwork the pastry dough, as this can make it tough.
- ✓Make sure the pasty edges are sealed very well to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
