Let’s Gather These Ingredients
Before we put our culinary skills to the test, here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and diced
- 5 to 6 tablespoons cold water
- 1 cup diced beef (or chicken, if you prefer)
- 1 cup diced potatoes
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions to Deliciousness
- Make the Dough: In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Cut the cold butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add cold water until the dough forms. Wrap in plastic and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the Filling: In another bowl, combine the diced beef, potatoes, onions, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Roll Out the Dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Take the chilled dough and roll it out on a floured surface, about 1/8 inch thick.
- Assemble the Pasties: Cut the dough into circles (about 6 inches in diameter). Place a generous scoop of filling on one half of each circle, leaving room to fold.
- Seal ‘Em Up: Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal tightly. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for extra security.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the pasties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until golden brown. Your kitchen is gonna smell amazing!
- Serve & Enjoy: Let them cool for a few minutes, then dig in! Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or just enjoy them plain!
And there you have it – delicious Cornish Finnish Michigan Pasties that’ll bring joy to your taste buds. Perfect for sharing with family and friends or keeping all to yourself. Either way, get ready to enjoy a little taste of comfort!
