Overview
Daniel evaluated a handmade Cornish pasty he prepared, praising the crispy, flaky pastry as the best item he had made, contrasting it with an earlier brittle apple pie crust, and noting pastry techniques involving cold butter and ice water.
Daniel criticized the minced pork filling as resembling char siu bao instead of traditional beef and carrots, prepared the meat filling by boiling it for about half an hour, cooked the pasty in an air fryer for 30 minutes, noticed its base had broken, and planned to share a second cooking pasty with his girlfriend.
