AUNT ANNA'S PAN PASTY

This is my favorite comfort dish which was the signature dish of my Aunt Anna in Mass City, MI. Ingredients are as for those in most any Upper Peninsula Finnish-style pasty, but cooked without a crust. When I make it, I just can't stop eating it, either hot or cold! Somehow the ingredients meld together for a wonderfully tasty, one-dish meal which is considerably more healthy than pasty with a crust. When serving, pass the ketchup, along with a side of your favorite coleslaw.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect pasty dough, use a combination of plain flour and self-rising flour. This will give the dough the right balance of strength and flakiness.
  • Make sure the butter is cold and cubed before adding it to the flour. This will help to create a light and flaky pastry.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking will make the dough tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will make it easier to work with and will help to prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
  • Use a sharp knife to trim the edges of the pastry. This will help to prevent the pastry from tearing when you fold it over the filling.
  • Brush the pastry with milk before baking. This will help to give the pastry a golden brown color.
  • Serve the pasties warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Aunt Anna's Pan Pasty is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a variety of fillings to choose from, there's sure to be a pasty that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give Aunt Anna's Pan Pasty a try.
