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

Time 1h15m

Yield 8-10 pasties, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup shortening
1 1/4 cups ice water
1 teaspoon salt
5 1/2 cups thinly sliced potatoes
2 carrots, shredded
1 onion
1/2 cup diced rutabaga
1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
1/2 lb ground lean pork
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons msg (MSG)
1 beef bouillon cube
1/2 cup hot water

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Dissolve the bouillon cube in the hot water. Combine uncooked vegetables, uncooked meats, salt, pepper, monosodium glutamate (MSG), and bouillon.
  • 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.
  • Bake at 425ºF for 45 minutes.

These pasties were a bit dry for my taste. I think I'll add some more liquid to the filling next time.

These pasties were delicious and easy to make. I used a pre-made pie crust, which saved me a lot of time. I also added a bit of chopped onion to the filling.

I've been making Cornish pasties for years, but this recipe is by far the best. The addition of the grated potato and turnip really makes a difference.
