I learned how to make these when I worked at the Renaissance Festival. My bosses, Rick and Reenie, were Michiganders where this dish is quite popular.

Saw a sweet cake baked in a muffin tin and thought savory would work as we'll. Also prevents pastys bursting in oven.

Pizza and Pasties are both easy to make delicious lunchtime meals. So why not Pizza Pasties? These were fun to make & the whole family loved them.

pasties are a traditional food in the northern Michigan mining communities.

I'm Finnish, and my grandmother always made these. She used lard but the butter flavored crisco works well also. (:

Grandmas instructions for Pasties, or meat pie. This is a Finnish Copper miner's version from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan -with ground chuck and pork. The Minnesota Iron Range miners use roast beef with gravy.Not good with crust? You can purchase ready-made pie crust from the store and use them to make 4 bigger pasties.

Pasties are a Cornish tradition. Bake some meat and vegetables into a crust and you've got a great, hearty lunch that's packed to go. It's the original 'Hot Pocket'.When Cornish miners emigrated to mining communities around the world, they shared this tradition. My grandma grew up in Gold Country here in CA where pasties are as much a part of local culture as they are in Cornwall.This isn't really your standard pastie though. I strayed from traditional recipes in that I used a little sourdough starter to improve the flavor of the crust. And the spices in the filling are probably not standard either. But I'd say you can fill these guys with just about any thick, stew-like substance you like. If you want to make your own filling, just skip straight to step #8.This is definitely a big project, but well worth the work.

My wife wanted a cheese and onion pasties that she use to have when she was a little girl at home with mum.
