Cornish Pasties in an air fryer

Ingredients

Regarding the pastry:

1. Two cups of all-purpose flour
2. Half a teaspoon of salt
3. Half a cup of chilled, diced unsalted butter
4. Four to five tablespoons of cold water

Regarding the filling:

• One medium potato, chopped
• Half a cup of diced beef (or, for vegetarians, a mixture of veggies)
• One little onion, diced finely
• Half a cup of chopped rutabaga or turnip
• To taste, add salt and pepper.
• Herbs (such as thyme) for flavor are optional.

Directions

Prepare the pastry:

• Put the flour and salt in a basin.
• Stir in the chilled butter until it crumbles.
• Add cold water a little at a time while mixing the dough until it comes together.
• Refrigerate for a minimum of half an hour after wrapping in plastic.

Get the filler ready:

• Add the beef, turnip, onion, cubed potato, salt, and pepper to a bowl. Stir thoroughly.

Put the pasties together:

• Set the air fryer’s temperature to 175°C (350°F).
• On a surface dusted with flour, roll out the pastry to a thickness of approximately 1/8 inch.
• Cut out circles that are roughly 6 to 8 inches across.
• On one side of each circle, place a spoonful of filling.
• Using a fork to secure the edges, fold the pastry over.

The pasties are air-fried:

• Apply a thin layer of egg wash to the tops (optional).
• Make sure there aren’t too many pasties in the air fryer basket.
• Cook for 20 to 25 minutes, or until cooked through and golden brown, at 350°F (175°C).

Serve:

• Before serving, allow them to cool slightly. Savor it with your preferred salad or dipping sauce.

Feel free to alter the filling to suit your preferences!
