Cheese"N"OnionPastyMmmm?!
Answers: How do you make a really good cheese and onion pasty???? Thanks. 10 points for the best answer =D*
Cut out the size of the pasty on some puff pastry
Fold in half
On one half add grated cheese + some finely chopped onion.
Wet edges with water
Fold the other half over then seal with a fork (press fork down around edges)
Score top of pasty with a sharp knife
Brush some milk on top of pasty
Cook for 30 mins on 180
This is similar to Neda's but it suggests cooking the onions and adding parsley.

And this one is actually Bristish! It uses a tranditional pie crust.

I think the character of the cheddar and the pastry are really important variables.
Good luck!

1/2 ounce unsalted butter
2 medium onions, finely chopped
1/2 lb double Gloucester cheese or cheddar cheese, grated

4Melt the butter in a frying pan on a low heat.
5Mix in the onions and cook them until they are just beginning to soften.
6Mix them with the cheese and parsley.
7Roll out the pastry and cut out 4 rounds, each about 6 inches in diameter.
8Put a quarter of the cheese mixture on one half of each one.
9Fold over the other side and crimp the edges together.
