Cheese and Onion Pasties

Another use for any large cookie cutter, and even my VERY fussy 6yr old grandson loved these!

Pastry:

8oz SR Flour
4oz Margarine
1/2 tsp salt
cold water

Filling:
2 medium potatoes
2tbsp chopped onions
4oz grated cheese

Boil and mash potatoes (with a little butter and milk)
Mix in cheese and onions.

Mix pastry by rubbing together flour, salt and margarine until like breadcrumbs. Add a little cold water at a time until pastry combined. ( pastry is best made day before, wrapped in cling film, and placed in fridge)

Roll out pastry on floured surface and I used large heart cutter, (2 for each pasty).

Place bottoms on greased tray, damp round edges and put a dessert spoon of cheese mixture in centre,
Place other heart on top and seal edges. Make a couple of little cuts on top, for steam to escape.

Place in oven Gas 5, and bake until golden brown.
Remove, then place on wire rack to cool.

Enjoy!
