Pasties #2**
Source of Recipe
got this recipe from my girlfriend of 30 plus years
List of Ingredients
Pasties #2**
dough:
mix into crumbs:
4 cups flour
1 3/4 cups Crisco vegetable shortening
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
in a separate bowl:
beat together and then add to crumbs:
1/2 cup water
1 egg
1 Tablespoon white vinegar
filling:
1 pound fresh ground hamburger
6 medium potatoes cut into small cubes,
...(we like to julienne these)
1 or 2 small finely diced onions
(You can either mix all the filling ingredients
together or keep it all separate....we keep it
all separate as we use different kinds of
meats and vegetables)
(My girlfriend and I get all the meats and
veggies done up ahead so once we get started
we can keep going.)
Pull enough dough off that once rolled out,
will fit one regular sized pie pan. Lay the
pastry into the pan. On only 1/2 side of the
pastry, place meat 1st, potatoes 2nd, onions
3rd, 3 little dabs of butter and salt and pepper
to taste.
Pat edge of dough with a little water. Then
carefully fold unfilled 1/2 over the filled 1/2,
(May extend dough past edge and fold under,
if want. Just fold excess under edge.) Pinch
edge together. Poke a few tiny air holes in the
top with a sharp knife.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake for 30 minutes
or until potatoes are done; (this is where we bake
for about 15 - 20 minutes....cuts down on baking
time if you are making and freezing ahead.) Don't
let the crust get too brown. If the crust is, and the
potatoes are not done, brush lightly with milk and
continue baking until done.
This recipe makes 6 pasties.
Notes/Our changes:
We place our potatoes 1st, onions 2nd and meat
3rd...this way the meat flavor goes down into the
potatoes....we think it tastes better this way. Also
we julliene the potatoes because they cook much
faster, we like eating them instead of the cubes,
and can be done with a food processor and takes
much less time when making! lol.
You can make just about whatever mixture of
meat/vegetables that you want...here are just a
few of what we have made in the past:
potatoes, onions, ground beef
potatoes, onions, sliced/diced red+green peppers, sliced or ground sausage
potatoes, onions, ground chicken or turkey
potatoes, onons, chopped ham
Also, try adding canned/well drained or partially cooked frozen/drained
vegetables before placing meat on the top. Like:
broccoli, cauliflower, cut brussel sprouts, peas
Use your imagination.
I usually do the rolling out of the pastry and my girlfriend fills and seals them. We make lots of these as
our families love them and it is an easy to make dinner when needed, or wanted.
Hope you enjoy them as much as we do...lots of work, that is why it is nicer to make them with someone.
