This was a strong tradition in my family. We has "pasty" at least once a week when I was growing up. My mom said it came from our English roots. She was 100% English on both sides- her grandfather came directly from England as an adult.
Anyway my family's version was like a regular pie, using ground beef, potatoes, and onions, layered with butter. I loved it!
So it was one of the first things I made after I was on my own. DH is not a fan. I tried later on with my children. They are not fans either. I stopped making them.
Both of my mom's brothers were young widowers (one remarried). My one uncle called one day and said he'd found a frozen version that "came close" to what we were used to. Unfortunately we couldn't get it where we lived.
I have some of my mom's favorite recipes, and there are some I took for granted and watched her make that she never wrote down. She typed this on an index card for me, and I'm glad she did!

We bought them when I was a kid.They had stands in Michigan on the UP. I've made them. They often have rutabags in them. They were tradtionally made for miners.

I didn't want it confused with stripper gear.
Now I see pasty.
Which is it?
I've seen them spelled both ways up here.
I had an elderly neighbor who was Finnish and she would ask me to bring her back a few when I traveled. It's true that many versions contain rutabeggas but they vary tremendously.
The UP is heavily Finnish and those hardy souls that worked in the copper mines from Copper Harbor south would carry them in their lunch buckets.

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.
Agreed but if you're anywhere near a Scottish grocer you might find home made ones there.

I had a British friend who made these and she corrected my pronunciation (because mine inferred the "other" kind). She said it's pronounced pass-tee.
