Annies Cornish Pasties Recipes

Steps:

• In a skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Add flour, seasoned salt and parsley; stir until well coated. Dissolve bouillon in water; stir into meat mixture. Add potatoes, carrots and onion. Cover and cook over medium heat until vegetables are crisp-tender. Cool. , Meanwhile, prepare pie crusts according to package directions. On a floured surface, roll each pie crust into a 12-in. square. Cut each square into four 6-in. squares. Place about 1/3 cup meat mixture in center of each square. , Moisten edges of pastry with water and fold over meat mixture to form a triangle. Press the edges with a fork to seal. Make a 1-in. slit in the top of each triangle. Place on 2 ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 400° until golden brown, 20-25 minutes.

Steps:

• Mix together the flour, salt and baking powder in a large bowl. Add the shortening, cutting it in with a pastry blender. Add the ice water, a little at a time, adding more if necessary until the dough is easily handled. Divide the dough into six pieces, wrap in wax paper, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• For each pasty, roll out a piece of dough into an 8-inch circle. On one half of the circle layer about 2 heaping tablespoons each of the potatoes, beef and onions, and about 1/4 cup each of rutabaga and carrots, adding salt and pepper to taste. Dot each batch of filling with 1 teaspoon butter, and fold the dough over, forming a half-moon. Moisten the edges with water, and seal the edges, crimping them with a fork. Place on a greased baking sheet. In the top of each pasty, cut several small slashes with a sharp knife.
• Bake in a 425-degree oven for a half-hour. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees, and bake for another half-hour or until the pasties are nicely browned. Serve hot or cold.
