A
pasty (, ), (sometimes known in the United States as a
pastie or
British pasty) is a baked
pastry, a traditional variety of which is particularly associated with
Cornwall, in the
United Kingdom. It is made by placing an uncooked filling, typically meat and vegetables, on one half of a flat shortcrust pastry circle, folding the pastry in half to wrap the filling in a semicircle and crimping the curved edge to form a seal before baking.
