My First Pastie, Ever.

CrazyKittyLvr2 — Tue, 13 Apr 2021 17:03:31 GMT

A co-worker of DD's asked if we wanted to order pasties her church was making.

She delivered them yesterday to DD and we had them last night. They had ground beef, diced potatoes and onion. The crust was beyond wonderful.

I knew they were hand held meat pies, but they must have thought they were for Paul Bunyon's hand. They were huge. I got through 1/2 last night and just had the other half for lunch.

We did them in the air crisper of the Ninja for 6 or 8 minutes until heated through.

I need to find a recipe for these little bundles of goodness.

I guess we're all losing it😄

Though I also know what the other ones are and they are good! (I mean the kind from the kitchen lol!) I believe they originated in England.

I often read about them in British mysteries when they stop at a pup and order one.

It did become very popular in Michigan as someone else said.

It seems there are many versions of this in different parts-like calzone, empanada, etc. though I know fans of any of these know there is a difference!

They are a staple in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. They are so good. In Michigan we don't consider them a real Pasty if they don't contain Rutabaga. Uppers eat them with Ketchup but many of us cover or dip them with gravy.

Edited comment - when talking about 1 its a Pasty not Pastie.

This post is no different than the "Hummer" one....I thought someone was thinking about buying the new $100,000 Hummer vehicle.

So what makes this post funnier is you have a "Retired" OP'r and she finally got her 1st pastie. So what took you so long?

These are not easy to make, the dough needs TLC to keep it tender, the filling takes time to put together and by the time you are done and how many it makes, you are better off finding out who made those and order more. You can also find them in the freezer section in the grocery store but you will be disappointed with the mass produced product.

I make these using a couple cups of leftover beef stew and Pillsbury pie dough:

2 tbsp butter

1 onion, chopped

1/2 lb ground pork

1/4 cup flour

1/4 tsp dried thyme

1/4 tsp allspice

2 cups beef stew

1 cup beef broth

2 9" refrigerated pie dough rounds

Cook onion in melted butter in big skillet until softened. Stir in pork until browned. Stir in flour, thyme, and allspice. Stir in stew and broth until broth evaporates. Pour into big bowl and coarsely mash with potato masher. Let cool.

Cut each round of dough in half. Spoon 1/4 of stew filling onto left side of each piece of dough, leaving 1" border at edges. Brush edges of dough with water, fold over filling, and crimp edges to seal. Set on parchment-lined baking sheet. Cut 3 venting holes in top of each pastie. Bake at 450 degrees until dough is golden brown, about 25 minutes. Cool on wire rack for 15 minutes.

@CrazyKittyLvr2 - For a recipe, try YouTube Channel 'Kitchen Sanctuary' - "Homemade Cornish Pasties". I love her cooking channel.

Authentic pastys are made with lard, which I swore off of 40 years ago. Seeing these made with pre-made pie dough is something I've never thought of. I may actually make my first pasty.

@mimomof4 I had a beloved friend raised in the UP! He made them often and brought them to work and he would laugh and say it's not a pasty if it didn't have a "rutabagee" as he pronounced it!

Re: My First Pastie, Ever.

CrazyKittyLvr2 — Tue, 13 Apr 2021 18:49:19 GMT

Ok, I'm confused. I Googled the word pastie before I posted and saw pictures of what I had for dinner and lunch.I wanted the correct spelling.

I didn't want it confused with stripper gear.

Now I see pasty.

Which is it?
