Ham Pasties Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the egg, pickle relish, 6 tablespoons bread crumbs and mustard. Crumble ham over mixture and mix well. Gradually add milk if mixture is too thick. Shape into four patties. Sprinkle each side with remaining bread crumbs. , In a large skillet, cook patties over medium heat in butter for 4-5 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reaches 160°.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, salt and baking powder. Cut in shortening, half at a time, until crumbly. Combine 1/2 cup water, egg and vinegar; add all at once to flour mixture and toss with a fork until dough forms a ball. Add remaining water only if necessary. Wrap tightly and refrigerate for several hours.
• Meanwhile, combine all filling ingredients. On a lightly floured surface, roll out a fourth of the dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Using a 3-1/2- to 4-in. round cutter, cut dough into circles. Place on ungreased baking sheets.
• Spread a scant tablespoon of filling on half of each circle. Moisten edge slightly with water and fold over, sealing with the tines of a fork. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
• In a small bowl, beat egg with water; brush tops of pasties. Sprinkle with poppy or sesame seeds.
• Bake at 400° for 15-20 minutes or until golden. Serve warm or cold.

Steps:

• The first thing to do is to make a thick white sauce that will be the base of the turnover filling. Bring the milk to a simmer, then add the butter and flour paste. Whisk the paste into the simmering milk and allow it to boil for 3-4 mins, whisking gently all the time to prevent it from catching. You should now have a very thick white sauce. Cool the sauce in a bowl. Fry the mushrooms in the oil for 3-5 mins until golden, then leave to cool.
• Place the ham, cheese and mushrooms into a bowl, then gradually add the white sauce until everything is well coated. Finally, add the herbs.
• Roll out the pastry on a floured surface to about the thickness of a £1 coin and cut out 4 saucer-size rounds (about 18cm wide), re-rolling the trimmings if you need to. Brush the edges of each round with beaten egg. Spoon the mixture onto 1 side of each round, then fold over and seal the edges well. The turnovers can now be frozen for up to 1 month. Brush the turnover with the remaining egg, then chill for 30 mins.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Place the turnovers on a baking sheet and bake for about 35 mins until puffed up and golden. Leave to cool slightly and enjoy warm.

Steps:

• Tip the butter, flour and mustard powder into a food processor with ½ tsp salt and whizz until you can't see any lumps of butter. Add roughly 4-5 tbsp cold water, a spoonful at a time, while pulsing until the pastry comes together. Tip out onto a clean surface, bring together into a ball and chill while you make the filling.
• Melt the butter in a frying pan. Add the onion and gently sweat for 10-15 mins until really soft, but not very coloured. Stir in the peas for 1 min, then turn off the heat and stir in the ham, mint and ricotta with plenty of seasoning.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and divide the pastry into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece to a neat 16-17cm circle - cut round a saucer or lid. Brush the edges with a little of the beaten egg, spoon a quarter of the filling into the middle, then bring up opposite sides of the pastry and seal. Crimp to make a pasty shape. Carefully lift onto a baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of the pastry, then brush the finished pasties all over with egg. Bake for 35-40 mins until golden and crisp. Leave to cool slightly, then serve either warm or cold.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, salt and baking powder. Cut in lard, half at a time, until particles are the size of small peas. Combine 1/2 cup water, egg and vinegar add all at once to flour mixture and stir with a fork just until dough holds together. Add remaining water only if necessary. Form into a ball wrap tightly and refrigerate for several hours. Meanwhile, combine all filling ingredients. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one-fourth of the dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Using a 3-1/2- to 4-in. round cutter, cut dough into circles. Place on ungreased baking sheets. Spread a scant tablespoon of filling on half of each circle. Moisten edge slightly with water and fold over, sealing with the tines of a fork. Cut slits in top of pasties. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. In a small bowl, beat egg with water brush tops of pasties. Sprinkle with poppy or sesame seeds. Bake at 400° for 15-20 minutes or until golden. Serve warm.© Copyright Reiman Publications, 1993-1997

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except oil, in a medium sized bowl (mixture will be stiff).
• Heat oil over medium heat, in a non-stick skillet large enough to fry all patties at one time (may do 2 patties at a time to turn more easily).
• While oil is heating, form mixture into 4 patties.
• Fry until golden brown, about 6 minutes on each side.
• Serve warm and enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Press one package crescent roll dough into a 9-inch baking dish; cut remaining package crescent roll dough into 1-inch strips.
