How to make Cornish pie cake:
This old recipe is not really for a cake at all but for a savory meat pie. Very simple to make and well worth trying.





Ingredients

pastry made with half suet and half lard
fresh meat, cut into small chinks
new potatoes
turnips
onions
salt and pepper
(see measure conversions for more information)

Method

- Roll the pastry into two rounds, one larger than the other.
- Put the meat and the peeled and chopped vegetables onto the larger round.
- Add salt and pepper.
- Place the smaller round on top.
- Pinch the edges of the top and bottom pieces together.
- Make a slit in the top of the pie.
- Bake in a moderate oven (see temperature conversions).
