Larousse Patisserie and Baking is the complete guide from the authoritative French cookery brand Larousse. Place the frozen pasties onto a tray lined with baking paper, brush with egg wash, then bake as directed in the recipe.

How to freeze cooked pasties:Allow the cooked pasties to cool completely, individually wrap each pasty in plastic food wrap, place into a freezer bag, label then freeze. Pasties can be frozen for up to 4 months. Now to the pastry recipe, when you've made the pastry it needs to be chilled for 3hrs in the refrigerator as it's impossible to roll out fresh. When chilled its easy to roll out into 8" circles, cut and crimp. And when crimping the pastry is rolled over the filling so the two edges are on the side not on the top. If the crimping is on the top the pasty will fall to pieces when held. I cook my pasties at 180C Fan for 45-50 mins. This cooks everything perfectly inside. The ultimate expert guide to pastry, patisserie and baking, with more than 200 recipes and step-by-step techniques.

Your Cornish Pasty recipe is almost correct, and the use of carrot instead of swede (rutabaga) is a good idea if swede isn't available. But the pastry used in Cornwall (where I am) is not shortcrust. This type of pasty is no good for pasties as it's too crumbly and you can't hold a pasty to eat it without it breaking up and making a mess. We use proper pasty pastry which is as tasty but stronger. I'll leave the recipe after this message. When putting the filling into the pastry you need to put a knob of butter on top, this melts into the filling and mixed with the meat juices makes a nice gravy. Place the tray with the pasties into the freezer and freeze until solid. Once frozen, individually wrap each pasty in plastic food wrap, place into a freezer bag, label then freeze. Uncooked pasties can be frozen for up to 4 months. It covers all aspects of baking - from simple everyday cakes and desserts to special occasion show-stoppers. There are more than 200 recipes included, plus useful techniques to ensure your bakes are perfect every time. The book also includes workshops on making different types of pastry, handling chocolate, cooking jam and everything else that you need to know about pastry, patisserie and baking. The filling is prepared differently, we slice our potatoes thinly so they cook better and we use waxy potatoes that won't fluff up and disintegrate when cooked.
