How to Make Cheese Pasties

  1. **Make the Crust:** In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
  2. **Cut in Butter:** Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using your fingertips or a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. **Add Water:** Gradually sprinkle in the ice water, mixing gently with a fork until the dough just comes together. Add more water, a tablespoon at a time, if needed.
  4. **Form Dough:** Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and form it into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes. Do not over-chill!
  5. **Prepare Filling:** [Insert detailed recipe for cheese filling here. Include specific measurements for cheese, vegetables, and any herbs or spices. Example: 1 cup shredded cheddar, 1/2 cup chopped vegetables, etc.]
  6. **Assemble Pasties:** Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a 9-inch circle.
  7. **Fill and Fold:** Place 1/6 of the filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape, pressing the edges firmly to seal.
  8. **Crimp and Vent:** Crimp the edges with a fork to create a decorative seal. Cut several slits in the top of each pasty to allow steam to escape.
  9. **Bake:** Bake for 15 minutes at 375°F (190°C), then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the pasties are golden brown.
  10. **Cool & Serve:** Remove from the oven and let the pasties rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
