Pasties are traditional meat pies hailing from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan! These are made with rutabaga so they're the real deal. Rub pasties with a little milk before baking if you want them to have a golden color.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

Dough:

  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, sifted

  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt

  • 1 cup shortening

  • 1 cup cold water

Filling:

  • 1 pound boneless round or chuck steak, cut into 1-inch cubes

  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed

  • 1 medium onion, chopped

  • 1 medium carrot, diced (Optional)

  • ½ cup cubed rutabaga

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • 6 tablespoons margarine

Directions

  1. Make the dough: Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in water until dough comes together. Shape into a ball, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. Make the filling: Mix meat, potatoes, onion, carrot, rutabaga, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well combined.

  4. Remove dough from the refrigerator and divide into six pieces. Shape pieces into balls, then roll into 6-inch diameter rounds on a lightly floured surface. Spread about 1 cup filling over half of each round and dot with 1 tablespoon margarine. Fold uncovered pastry up and over filling; crimp edges to seal. Prick with a fork and place onto the prepared baking sheet.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
