The Cornish Pasty

2013 Food Freda Rumford June 2013

By Manzanillo Sun Writer from the June 2013 Edition

Anna’s pastry (from May issue)

5 cups of AP flour
1 lb White Crisco shortening
8-10 oz Seven-up

Cut shortening into flour. Pour in sufficient Seven Up to make a damp but not wet dough. The dough should be sufficiently damp to be malleable (it depends on the atmosphere.) Refrigerate for a short while before using. Will keep for several days and freezes well.
