Cornish Pasties

==Description==
===Ingredients===
*Potato - 1 medium cut into 0.5 cm dice,
* Onion, 1 medium chopped, 
*Blade of Beef or rump Steak - 225g (8 oz) cut into 1 cm cubes,
* plain flour - 225g (8 oz),
* butter - 50g (2 oz) diced,
* lard - 50g (2 oz) diced
*Cold water - to mix,
* Beaten egg or milk - to glaze.
===Directions===
1. Pre-heat oven to 220C / 425F / Gas 7.
2. Place the Potato, Onion and meat in a basin and mix well.
3. Place the flour in a bowl. Add the butter and lard, rub in until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add about 2 tablespoons of water and mix to form a firm dough. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead lightly.
4. Divide the pastry into 4. Roll out each piece to about 15-18 cm (6-7 inches). Trim by cutting round the edge of a small plate.
5. Divide the filling between each round. Brush the edges with water and draw up the pastry on each pasty, in a line over the centre of the filling. Seal well. Flute the edge with your fingers.
6. Place the pasties on a baking sheet, fluted edges uppermost. Brush each with a little beaten egg or milk. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until golden brown.
7. Serve hot or cold.
