Steps

  • Mix butter and lard in a bowl, then rub a quarter of the mixture into the flour and salt.
  • Add 50ml cold water and lemon juice to form a dough and shape into a rectangle.
  • Roll dough to a rectangle, dot with remaining fats, and perform a series of folds and rotations.
  • Chill the dough in cling film for 20 minutes.
  • Prepare mint sauce by chopping mint with salt, adding 100ml boiling water and sugar, then cooling with vinegar.
  • Roll and fold the chilled pastry once more and refrigerate for another 20 minutes.
  • Mix lamb with garlic, rosemary, and half the mint sauce; season and set aside.
  • Combine vegetables and herbs with the remaining mint sauce and peas.
  • Preheat oven to 180°C and line two trays with parchment.
  • Roll pastry to 3mm thickness and cut into 6 circles of 13cm diameter.
  • Fill circles with vegetables and lamb, moisten edges, fold over, and crimp to seal.
  • Brush pasties with egg and bake for 40 minutes until golden.
  • Cool pasties on a wire rack before serving.
