Unless you make these pasties in Cornwall, and comply with certain requirements, they cannot be called Cornish pasties. A Protected Geographical Indicator (PGI) is one of three European designations created to protect regional foods that have a specific quality, reputation or other characteristics attributable to that area. Cornish pasties are designated PGI.
However, I hope that the following recipe is as near as you can get to genuine. I will be in trouble with my mother if not, as she lives in Cornwall and is a stickler for authenticity.

Chef's notes
A proper Cornish pasty is D-shaped and is crimped only on the curved side of the D. --JuliaBalbilla 14:44, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
