Previous recipe is great, this one is just fine tuned.<\/p>\n<p>These are the best pasties you&#8217;ll ever taste! I often use only half the amount of mince and they are still fabulous.<br \/> I am so thrilled to have made these. I adore bakery pasties and recently had a horrible experience of (not) eating a truly awful pastie from the local bakery in town. The pastry was lovely, but the filling was a hard lump of something that tasted rather like cardboard.<\/p>\n<p>For the pastry, make a batch of Rough Puff Pastry, using <a href=\"https:\/\/wp.me\/pbQORu-2c\">this recipe<\/a>.<br \/> Roll and turn about 6 times and then cut in half and refrigerate for half an hour or so.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div id=\"recipe\"><\/div><div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-4499\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"4499\" data-servings=\"0\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe wprm-recipe-template-meadow\"><div class=\"wprm-layout-container wprm-padding-40 meadow-header\">\n  <div class=\"wprm-layout-column-container wprm-column-gap-20 wprm-column-rows-recipe-600 wprm-column-rows-reverse wprm-row-gap-20 meadow-header-columns\">\n    <div class=\"wprm-layout-column wprm-align-center\">\n      \n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"wprm-layout-column wprm-column-width-75 wprm-align-rows-center\">\n      <div class=\"wprm-layout-container meadow-header-accent\" style=\"--wprm-layout-container-text-color: var(--meadow-accent-color);\">\n        <span class=\"wprm-recipe-details wprm-recipe-author wprm-block-text-semi-bold\">ThermoGourmand<\/span>\n      <\/div>\n      <h2 class=\"wprm-recipe-name wprm-block-text-bold\">Megan's Perfect Pasties<\/h2>\n      <div class=\"wprm-spacer\" style=\"height: 15px;\"><\/div>\n      \n      <div class=\"wprm-spacer\" style=\"height: 15px;\"><\/div>\n      <div class=\"wprm-recipe-summary wprm-block-text-normal\">Delicious peppery pasties that are a breeze to make in your Thermomix.
