How to Store Gluten Free Cornish Pasties
Leftover pasties can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them before baking.

Tips to Make Gluten Free Cornish Pasties
- Make sure your pastry dough is well-chilled before rolling it out. This will help keep it flaky and easy to handle.
- Feel free to mix and match the fillings! You can add additional vegetables or even switch the meat for cooked lentils for a vegetarian option.
- Don’t skip out on sealing the edges well; this will ensure that the filling stays inside while baking.
Variation
You can switch up the filling by using ground chicken, turkey, or even a vegetarian mix that includes mushrooms or spinach. Adding spices like paprika or cumin can also elevate the flavor!
