only answer if you are a yooper, whats the best recipe for pasties?

Answer 1

Here is a recipe I use at home, A regular pie crust recipe can be used, but doesn't taste or work as well.

Crust:
1 lb. lard, softened
7 c. flour
1 T salt
3/4 c. to 1 c. ice water

In lg. bowl, mix flour and salt, then cut in lard a little at a time. Mix, using a hand pastry blender, until combined. Add water in small amounts. Mix with pastry blender until it can be kneaded. Continue adding water until dough stays together. Knead until dough feels slightly rubbery. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before using. Yield: 10 pasties.
Note. Recipe may be halved. Dough is also freezable if you want to make in advance.

Filling: Mix together:
2 lbs ground beef
7 to 8 med to large potatoes, peeled and cut into small cubes
Onion, to taste, chopped or minced
Salt and Pepper
Butter (sliced)
Rutabaga and shredded carrot may also be added.

Roll out dough into circles about 8 in in diameter. Place a mound of filling onto each circle of dough and place a slice of butter onto. Fold dough over and pinch ends tightly or roll together. Bake on a cooky sheet at 350 degrees for 60 min until potatoes are done
