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.

Serving suggestions

Eat on its own or serve with seasonal vegetables and gravy.

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)

Best recipe review

Still prefer mine

4/5

I know they're not 'authentic' but I far prefer my Cornish pasties made at home.
