    Recipe Introduction


    Popular with miners, these pasties, sometimes known as Colliers Foots,
    can have a variety of savoury fillings. Eliptical in shape - hence the
    name - they are always made in pairs and always called foots, never
    feet.

    List of Ingredients




    1lb shortcrust pastry
    4oz Lancashire cheese, cubed
    4oz cooked bacon or ham, chopped
    1 small onion, peeled and chopped
    salt and black pepper
    a little dry english mustard
    milk or beaten egg to glaze

    Recipe



    Set oven to 375°F or Mark 5. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured
    surface to form an oval. Cut in half lengthwise and separate the two
    pieces. Place a rolling pin across the middle of each piece and roll
    away from you. The pastry nearest you remains un-rolled and thicker and
    is the heel, while the rolled piece is the sole. Combine together the
    cheese, bacon or ham, onion and seasoning. Divide this mixture into two
    halves and pile up in the centre of each heel. Brush the edges of the
    foots with milk, the turn the soles over to enclose the filling, sealing
    the edges well. Brush with milk or beaten egg to glaze and place on a
    greased baking sheet. Cook for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the foots are
    golden brown. Serve warm or cold.
