Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (grated)
  • 2 medium sweet onions (sliced)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 3–4 tbsp cold water
  • Milk or egg wash for brushing

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a bowl, mix flour and butter until crumbly. Gradually add cold water until dough forms. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Sauté Onions: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté sliced onions until golden (about 10 minutes).
  3. Combine Filling: Mix sautéed onions with grated cheddar, seasoning generously with salt and pepper.
  4. Roll Out Dough: On a floured surface, roll the chilled dough to about ¼ inch thick and cut out circles.
  5. Assemble Pasties: Place spoonfuls of filling on one half of each circle, fold over, and crimp edges to seal.
  6. Bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush pasties with milk or egg wash and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden.
