A good recipe for savory tarts. Good warm or cold. Can be frozen. Ingredients:
5 cups all-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional) |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1 lb shortening |
1/2-3/4 cup cold water |
1 egg, beaten |
2 teaspoons white vinegar |
3 cups ham, fully cooked and diced into 1/4-inch pieces |
2 tablespoons green peppers, finely diced |
2 tablespoons pimientos or 2 tablespoons celery, finely diced |
1 tablespoon onion, finely chopped |
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted |
1 egg |
1 tablespoon water |
poppy seeds or sesame seeds |
Directions:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. In a small bowl, beat egg with water; brush tops of pasties. Sprinkle with poppy or sesame seeds.
5. Bake at 400° for 15-20 minutes or until golden. Serve warm or cold.
