Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Assembling and Baking the Pasties:
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Divide the chilled dough into six equal portions.
On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion of dough into a circle about 6-7 inches in diameter.
Moisten the edges of each dough circle with water.
Spoon a portion of the beef and vegetable filling onto one half of each dough circle.
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape.
Crimp the edges of the pasties to seal them tightly.
Place the pasties on the prepared baking sheet.
Cut a small slit in the top of each pasty for ventilation.
Brush each pasty with the remaining beaten egg yolk (egg wash) for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the pasties are golden brown.
Freezing Pasties (Partial Bake):
Follow steps 1-10 above.
Bake for 20 minutes.
Let cool completely, then freeze.
To finish baking, brush with egg wash and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
Serving:
Let the pasties cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy the delicious flavors of your homemade Cornish Beef Pasties.
