Ingredients
- 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1.5 cups of shortening (Crisco or Lard)
- 1 cup of water (approximately)
- 3 or 4 medium potatoes, peeled & sliced
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 or 2 onions, peeled & sliced
Preparation
Step 1
Sift the flour and salt together. Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender until the pieces are the size of small peas. Gradually sprinkle water over mixture, mixing lightly with a fork after each addition; add only enough water to hold pastry together. Divide dough evenly into four pieces; on a floured surface, roll out each piece into a circle, and fill one half with sliced potatoes, ground beef, and onions. Fold over and crimp edges; put a small hole in top for vent. Bake on a lightly greased cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
Yield: four pasties.
