Pasties are a common item in bakeries across Australia. Their heritage goes back to English settlers particularly those from the Cornwell area, hence them sometimes being referred to as Cornish pasties.
Pasties make a great lunch option and can be cooked and reheated while away, or eaten cold. They are hearty and comforting and are a perfect hand-held size. They can also be served for dinner with a side such as baked beans or a salad.
