How to Make Corned Beef Pasties

  1. **Make the Pastry:**
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. Cut in 1 cup shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gradually add 7-8 tablespoons ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork until the dough comes together.
  5. Form the dough into a ball. Wrap and chill for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight).
  6. **Prepare the Filling:**
  7. While the dough chills, peel and coarsely chop 2 large potatoes (about 2 cups).
  8. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups cubed corned beef (or round steak), chopped potatoes, 1 cup cubed turnips or carrots, ½ cup chopped onion, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
  9. Set aside.
  10. **Assemble and Bake:**
  11. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  12. Divide the dough into 5 equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a 9-inch circle.
  13. Place approximately 1 cup of the meat and vegetable filling onto one half of each circle.
  14. Fold the pastry over the filling to form a half-circle. Crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
  15. Cut several slits in the top of each pasty to allow steam to escape.
  16. Place pasties on an ungreased baking sheet.
  17. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown.
  18. **Optional Ketchup Sauce:**
  19. While the pasties bake, whisk together ½ cup ketchup and ¼ cup water in a small saucepan. Heat through.
  20. Serve the hot pasties with the ketchup sauce, if desired.
