CORNISH PASTIES 
3 c. flour
1 c. suet, ground fine
1/4 c. lard
1 tsp. salt
12 tbsp. cold water (or more)
1 lb. beef, diced or cubed
1/2 lb. pork, diced or cubed
Potatoes
Onions
Turnips
Carrots
Butter

Blend lard into flour and salt, then add suet and work thoroughly. Add cold water and make a soft dough. Divide the dough into 8 pieces. Roll each crust into a 6-inch round. On half of the dough, build up the following ingredients: 1/2-inch layer of finely chopped potatoes, seasoned with salt and pepper; 1/2- inch layer of sliced turnip, carrot, chopped onion, beef chopped and pork, and season once more. Add piece of butter to top of ingredients. Now fold the uncovered portion of the dough over the filled portion and crimp the edges - shape of a half moon. Make 1-inch slit in the top of the dough and place prepared pasties on a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 1 hour. Check while baking to make sure they don't burn.

Yes, beef and pork mixture! Glad to see lard and suet, also- authentic Cornish! No shortening, please. Very similar to my family recipe, save carrot. We also chip the vegetables and lightly flour between each layer to create "gravy". Thanks!
