I am in town to do a favor.

My friends here wanted to know how to make Cornish Pasties.

My mom was an orphan, but spent many years as a teen in a Mennonite bakery. When my dad took her home to meet his mom, (my grandmother was from Wales), this was what was handed down.

My mom made them about every two weeks, she wrapped them in wax paper and froze them. To be re-heated in oven, on cold rainy days....

I make them from memory, but here is a good recipe.

Correction:

Please disregard the above recipe.

In haste I did not read it all the way through.

As @stueytheround has mentioned.
this is not how good Pasties are made.

This recipe is much closer to what I make.

did you know that nearly every culture around the world has some form of handpie food?
it's on my bucket list to have a monthly handpie night with hubby's D&D group trying different recipes from around the world!

I am told that the Middle East, have some great hand food.

In Thailand this hand food is everywhere.

Salapaos (Steamed Buns) can be either sweet or savory and should be served hot. Sweet fillings include mashed sweet bean filling, while savory fillings are often minced meat with herbs or saucy grilled meat. The bun is divine. Fluffy yet slightly chewy, it offers a little sweetness that complements the fillings.

It is street food, found even in small villages. The vendors mark each bun with a bit of food coloring, to tell you what is inside, except that every region has a different code.

Some are very hot (spicy), basically a tiny amount of pork, or chicken, slathered in hot chili oil. So you have to be careful.

After a few years in Thailand, you get used to it.
