After the first online recipe for the dough I found FAILED ME and was crumbling, I began a new frantic search. I found this one, and while I already had my own filling mixture done up, I have to say it was SO easy and soft and workable. Best dough recipe I have ever found! THANK YOU!

Carrot in a Cornish Pasty, Get outta here, if you put carrot in a pasty in Cornwall they would banish you to Devon. Traditionally, beef skirt finely chopped, potato, swede (rutabaga/orange turnip), onion, salt, white pepper and a knob of butter. The vegetables should be chipped into irregular pieces, not diced. Definitely NO carrot.
