How to Make Da Yooper Pasties

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking sheet.
  2. Make the pastry: In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  3. Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 1 hour.
  4. While the dough chills, prepare the filling: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add beef and cook until browned on all sides. Stir in potatoes, carrots, beef broth, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  6. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat, and cook until the vegetables are tender and the beef is cooked through, about 20-25 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  7. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut out 6-inch circles using a cookie cutter or a bowl.
  8. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the filling onto the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape, crimping the edges to seal.
  9. Place the pasties on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with melted butter.
  10. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is heated through. Bake any leftover filling in a covered oven-safe dish alongside the pasties during the last 20 minutes.
  11. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious Da Yooper Pasties!
