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.

I lived 3 years in Cornwall.
I am Westcountry born and bred.
I can assure you that this is not an authentic Cornish pasty recipe.
Cornish pasties always use cheap cuts of meat like chuck and skirt, never rump!
They also never contain carrot or gravy (they make their own gravy as they cook *slowly*).
I am sure your pasties are delicious, but please allow me to introduce you to the real deal:

I stand well corrected.
You are absolutely correct.
I never put carrots in mine. I also never add gravy.
I really did not look too closely at the recipe.
My bad.
