I make these pasties about once a month for my family and extended family. I weigh my ingredients for accuracy and flavor.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup shortening

  • 1 ¼ cups ice water

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 5 ½ cups thinly sliced potatoes

  • 2 carrots, shredded

  • 1 onions

  • ½ cup diced rutabaga

  • 1 ½ pounds lean ground beef

  • ½ pound lean ground pork

  • 1 tablespoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 ½ teaspoons monosodium glutamate (MSG)

  • 1 cube beef bouillon

  • ½ cup hot water

Directions

  1. Whisk together flour and salt in a large bowl. Cut shortening. Make a well in the center of the mixture, and quickly stir in ice cold water. Form dough into a ball. Set aside.

  2. Dissolve the bouillon cube in the hot water. Combine uncooked vegetables, uncooked meats, salt, pepper, monosodium glutamate, and bouillon.

  3. Roll out pastry dough into 6 x 8 inch rectangles. Place about 1 1/2 cups of filling in the center of each rectangle. Bring 6 inch sides together, and seal. Cut a slit in the top of each pasty. Place on dull, not black, baking pans.

  4. Bake at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for 45 minutes.
