An authentic Michigan food, the original Cornish beef pasty was brought to the Upper Peninsula by the copper miners of the 1840s from their native Cornwall.
Its roots stretch back to medieval times, but the Cornish pasty is forever associated with the tin miners of Cornwall in the 1700s and 1800s.

What is a Cornish pasty? The Cornish pasty is a traditional pastry that originated in Cornwall, a county in the southwest of England. It is believed to have been introduced as a convenient and portable meal for tin miners in the region during the 17th and 18th centuries The pasty is like a handheld meat pie with a classic filling of thinly sliced beef, potatoes, rutabaga, and onions. This Cornish pasty is made without gluten and tastes how you remember it. how did I come about creating the Cornish Pasty? Over the last little while, my wonderful readers have asked me repeatedly to create a Cornish Pasty recipe with a flaky crust and the traditional filling. Creating a gluten-free flaky shortbread crust wasn’t my easiest task. I made it several times until I found the perfect combination of ingredients for this flaky crust, making these Cornish Pasties outstanding. Honestly, the pasties are so incredibly delicious – The flaky crust and the filling are both perfect! Gluten-Free Cornish Pasty – Step by Step Recipe Details You can make pasties in various sizes. The most common ones are an 8-inch or 6-inch size. I prefer mine smaller the 6-inch size, mostly because I can’t finish the larger one. The pasties are super filling, especially if you add a side. STEP ONE All the ingredients must be well chilled and the dry ingredients whisked together STEP TWO grate the butter into the dry ingredients STEP THREE Use a fork to mix the butter with the flour, then add sour cream and mix to combine. At this point start adding ice water until the flour starts to stick together and you can form a ball of dough. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for 45 minutes. STEP FOUR Make the filling, by mixing the ingredients. STEP FIVE Once the dough has chilled for 45 minutes, roll it out into a circle either 8-inch in diameter or 6-inch and about 1/8-inch thick. You can use a plate as your guide and cut the dough around it to form your circle. STEP SIX Divide the steak mixture into equal portions for each pasty. Spread steak mixture slightly off-center on each round of dough and top with 2 thin slices of butter. Fold dough over the mixture to form a half-moon shape. You can use the parchment paper to lift the dough and fold it over the filling. STEP SEVEN Wet the tips of your fingers lightly with water and moisten inside of the edges of the pastry dough. Seal the dough and crimp the edges using a fork or your fingers. Place each pasty on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each pasty with egg mixture. STEP EIGHT Bake for 45 minutes until golden brown. Enjoy! rutabaga VS turnip I used the classics in this traditional Cornish Pasty recipe: steak meat, potatoes, onions, and rutabaga. Rutabagas are sometimes called swedes or Sweedish turnip. This root vegetable is similar to a turnip except the healthy rutabaga is yellow on the outside and has orange flesh. Turnip, on the other hand, is white and purple on the outside with white flesh. Rutabagas are also generally larger and stay tender even at larger sizes. Cornish pasty filling options Traditional Beef and Vegetable: The classic Cornish pasty filling includes diced beef, potatoes, onions, and swede (rutabaga). Season with salt, pepper, and a bit of butter for a savory and hearty filling. Vegetarian/Vegan: For a meatless option, use a combination of vegetables like potatoes, carrots, onions, swede, peas, and spinach. You can also add vegetarian or vegan protein sources like tofu, tempeh, or chickpeas. Chicken and Mushroom: Swap out the beef for diced chicken and add sliced mushrooms to create a chicken and mushroom pasty. Season with herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra flavor. Cheese and Onion: A simple yet delicious filling consists of grated cheese (Cheddar works well) and finely chopped onions. Add a pinch of black pepper for some extra zing. Pork and Apple: Combine diced cooked pork with chunks of apple for a sweet and savory filling. You can also add a touch of sage for an herby flavor. Lamb and Mint: Use ground or diced lamb and incorporate chopped mint leaves. Lamb and mint complement each other beautifully. Seafood: For a unique twist, create a seafood pasty with a mixture of diced fish (such as cod or salmon), shrimp, scallops, or crabmeat. Season with seafood-friendly herbs and spices like dill or paprika. Curry: Experiment with a spicy curry filling by mixing cooked chicken or lamb with a curry sauce, potatoes, peas, and a dash of coconut milk or cream. Sweet Fillings: Don’t forget about dessert pasties. Fill the pastry with sweet ingredients like apples and cinnamon, berries, or chocolate and nuts for a delightful treat. What to serve with Cornish pasty? Cornish pasties are delicious and satisfying, but you can enhance the dish with complementary side dishes. Here are some traditional options you may enjoy. Pickles or Chutney: Cornish pasties pair wonderfully with pickles or chutney. Opt for classics like Branston pickle or pickled onions for a traditional touch, or experiment with fruit chutneys for a sweet and tangy contrast. Be sure they are gluten free. Salad: A fresh, crisp salad can balance the richness of the pasty. A simple green salad with a vinaigrette dressing can be a refreshing accompaniment. Coleslaw: Crunchy coleslaw complements the pasty nicely with its creamy and slightly sweet flavors. It adds a cool, crunchy contrast to the warm and flaky pastry. Yam and Sweet Potato Mash: A scoop of creamy yam and sweet potato mash alongside your Cornish pasty can make for a comforting and filling meal. It’s a hearty combination that many people enjoy. Gravy: Some people like to serve their Cornish pasty with a drizzle of gravy, either traditional beef gravy or a vegetarian option. This adds extra flavor and moisture to the pasty. Baked Beans: Consider serving your pasty with baked beans for a British twist. The sweetness of the beans can complement the savory pastry. Check for gluten-free options such as the Bush’s Best Vegetarian Baked Beans. Soup: A warm bowl of soup can be a cozy accompaniment, especially with flavors that complement the pasty’s filling (such as Creamy Potato and Cauliflower Soup). Cornish Pasty was initially developed for farmers and miners in southwest England. The pasties were used as a hearty lunch for the hard working people. With the savoury filling wrapped in a flaky crust, it makes a delicious hearty lunch or dinner. If you’re a fan of delicious comfort food but must follow a gluten-free diet, you’re in for a treat.

Cornish pasties are the ultimate on-the-go meal. This English meal is made by filling a crust with a hearty mixture of meat, potatoes, carrots, and onions. The crust itself is firmer than a typical pie crust or bread dough. The goal of the pastry crust is to hold the flavorful filling inside without it falling apart. Our one tip is to make sure the filling ingredients are cut in a uniform size so they cook evenly.
