Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

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

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, 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 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for 45 minutes.

These pasties were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added some more liquid to the filling.
