The Glade 4.0

Cornish Pasties or "How to woo a Michigander"

Step one The Dough:

3 cups unbleached flour
1 1/2 tbsp salt
1 1/2 stick butter blended into the flour.
~12 tbsp water Added 1 tbsp at a time until dough is formed and kinda like play-doh
Chill dough for half an hour or so.

Step 2, the filling ingredients

5 carrots
1 rutabaga
2 large onions
8-10 baby red potatoes (Approx 2 large russets)
1 lb coarse ground round steak
1 lb coarse ground pork loin (I used shoulder/butt)
salt/pepper to taste

Chop em up, mix together.

Divide the dough into 6 equal portions


Roll out the dough into approx 8" shapes. Fill each with a cup and a half of filling and fold over, crimpnig the edges. Brush a beaten egg over the dough if desired.

Cook for 30 minutes, then place a tablespoon or so of butter in the slits. Cook for another 30 mins.




Day 2:
Smother leftovers with medium cheddar and jack cheese when reheating. Add a little honey mustard to taste.

The finished crust was smooth and buttery. It didn't turn out too badly at all I thought. Not for my first time.

And the 6th one is on the cutting board to the left :p

Oh yes. THey are very good. Meat, and veggies and pie crust. All kinds of yum.

Now, I just need to figure out how to make it better...

Put the cheese on the inside, add some asparagus tips, deglaze the pan you used to brown the meats with some red wine and use that as a base to create a nummy dipping sauce for it.
