I came home the other day to find that Mr Graphic Foodie had gone all creative and made these - initialled Cornish pasties! If I wasn't having a big fat Italian wedding I would freaking serve these up for the reception!
I would divulge the recipe but the pastry is my mother's secret recipe and she hasn't given it to me yet. I am not joking when I say it is the best pastry on the planet. Michelin bloody starred it is. Beautifully crumbly, savory and rich, we use it for a multitude of things from chicken pies to sweet tarts. I have never, ever, ever, never tasted better. Maybe she keeps it secret from me as the recipe would reveal an artery clogging cocktail of ingredients? Who knows, but for now I just get a slab of prepared pastry from her on request, despite my pleading doe eyes. Mean isn't she?
I'll trade my late grandma's secret mince pie recipe for your Cornish pasty recipe....go on, it'll be fine...
ReplyDeleteFantastic - can't believe your own Mother keeps the recipe a secret from you - it's got to contain something crazy or illicit.....I'm thinking either cat biscuits or crack.
ReplyDeleteWhat she doesn't know is that I've kept a piece and I'm taking it to the lab...
