Cheese & onion pasties
About £0.85 a plate if you bought it all. Less with what you've already got.
The app checks what's already in your fridge, prices it at your shop and runs the timers for you.
You'll need
- Shortcrust pastry650g
- Cheddar200g
- Onions1
- Potatoes300g
- Eggs1
- Mustard10g
Salt, pepper and oil from the cupboard. Amounts are for four; the app scales them for you.
Method
- Heat the oven to 200°C. Boil the diced potato (300g) (8 min) and drain.
Kitchen note Start potatoes in cold salted water, not boiling, so they cook evenly all the way through.
- Mix the grated cheese (200g), potato, chopped onion (1) and a spoon of mustard (10g). Season.
Kitchen note Take your time with onions. Low heat and a pinch of salt for a good 8 to 10 minutes until soft and sweet. Rushed onions stay sharp and crunchy.
- Cut four circles of pastry (650g), fill one half, fold over and crimp.
Kitchen note Keep pastry cold and handle it as little as you can. Brush with beaten egg for a shiny golden top.
- Brush with egg (1) and bake until golden (25 min).
Can't find something? Doesn't matter. Swap it for something similar, it'll still be delish.
