WELSH LEEK & BACON PASTY (PASTAI CENNIN)

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 180°C (350 F).
• Turn short crust pastry dough onto a lightly-floured work surface and cut in half. Roll the two halves out until they are the same size as dinner plates.
• Lay one round of dough on a lightly-greased baking sheet then scatter the leeks over the top (leave the edges of the pasty clear, however).
• Lay the bacon on top of the leeks then season with salt and black pepper before dotting the butter on top.
• Spread parsley, sage and egg over bacon and leek, leaving edges of pasty clear.
• Lightly brush around edge with egg/milk glaze.
• Lay the second piece of pastry on top then crimp down the edges with the tines of a fork to seal.
• Brush glaze over top crust.
• Prick the top of the pasty with the fork to make steam holes.
• Transfer to an oven and bake for about 40 minutes, until the pastry is golden and the contents are cooked.
