Cooking Directions
Heat oven to 400 degrees F.

Serving Suggestions
Named after Cornwall, England, these savory turnovers of meat and potatoes were a common lunch of Cornwall's tin miners. These oversized English-style turnovers hit the hungry spot and are perfect for tailgates, picnics, or a casual dinner. Accompany with cole slaw, chips and brownies.
