Directions:
- Sift flour and salt into a large bowl.
- Using a pastry blender, your fingertips or 2 knives, cut in the butter and lard/vegetable shortening.
- Sprinkle the chilled water over the dough, adding more if necessary.
- Knead the pastry on a lightly floured surface for a few minutes or until smooth.
- Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- If you refrigerate for a fair more than this time, you will probably have to let the pastry dough sit out for a bit after removing it from the fridge to allow it to become pliable again.
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- Divide pastry into 6 equal pieces.
- Roll each piece into a circle on a lightly floured surface.
- Mix filling ingredients in a bowl and then spoon an equal amount onto each round of pastry.
- Be aware that you are going to fold the circles in half, so spoon accordingly.
- Brush the edges of the pastry rounds with water and fold in half.
- Press edges firmly to seal, then crimp.
- Brush pasties with beaten egg.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 325F and bake for 1 hour more.
- Do not undercook as you must make sure the meat gets throughly cooked.
- Serve hot or cold.
- You may add additional vegetables like carrots, celery, spinach, etc.
- To the filling, if you desire.
