How to Make Pasties Legit And Not

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. For the from-scratch pastry (legit pasties): In a large bowl, combine 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp salt, and 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add ½ cup ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  4. Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about ⅛ inch thickness.
  6. For the filling (for both recipes): In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef, 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 cup chopped carrots, 1 cup chopped potatoes, 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp black pepper, and ½ tsp dried thyme.
  7. Divide the dough into 6-8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a 6-inch circle.
  8. Spoon about ½ cup of filling into the center of each circle.
  9. Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape, crimping the edges to seal.
  10. Place pasties onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  11. Brush the tops with beaten egg (optional, for golden brown finish).
  12. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is cooked through.
  13. For the Leftover Pasties: Use leftover cooked meat (shredded chicken, beef, etc.) and skip steps 2-5. Use store-bought filo pastry or puff pastry, following package instructions for rolling and shaping. Fill and bake as instructed in steps 7-11.
