Good Ole' Michigan Pasty (Pasties) image

Growing up in Michigan, as soon as the weather turned cool I started craving Pasties! My Aunt Nancy always made the best pasty, and this is her recipe. She said she sourced hers from the Eastern Star Recipe book. Traditionally pasties were made by the wives of miners that would bring them along down into the mines in their pockets. Reheating them on the back of their shovels over lanterns. While this doesn't need to be reheated over a lantern, they certainly taste just as good the next day.

These pasties were the worst thing I've ever eaten. They were dry, tasteless, and the crust was like cardboard.

I didn't like these pasties at all. The filling was mushy and the crust was soggy.

These pasties were just okay. The filling was a bit bland and the crust was a bit too thick.

I've made these pasties several times now and they always turn out perfect. The dough is easy to work with and the filling is packed with flavor. My favorite way to eat them is with a side of gravy.
