Old-Fashioned Cornish Pasties

From Shari's collection of old-fashioned recipes, this easy recipe is about 100 years old.

3 cups flour

Salt

1/4 cup lard

1 cup finely ground suet

6 to 7 tablespoons cold water

1 pound finely diced flank or round steak

1/2 pound finely diced pork

Finely chopped potatoes

Pepper

Sliced turnips

Chopped onions

6 tablespoons butter

Method

Place flour, 1 teaspoon salt and lard in a mixing bowl; work lard into flour with pastry blender. Add suet; work in thoroughly. Add enough water to make dough a little more moist than pastry. Divide dough into 4 parts; roll out each piece on floured surface into round shape the size of dinner plate.

Mix steak and pork. Place 1/2 inch layer of potatoes on 1/2 of each piece of dough; season with salt and pepper to taste. Add thin layer of turnips, then thin layer of onions. Cover with 1/4 of the steak mixture; place 1 1/2 tbsp butter on top of each.

Fold dough over filled portion; seal edges with fork. Make a 1 inch slit on tip of each pasty. Place pasties on cookie sheet or pie pan. Bake in preheated 400F oven for 1 hour or until done.

Makes 4 servings.
