Cut shortening into flour; add salt and water as for pie crust. Before rolling out, prepare meat and vegetables as directed. Roll pastie dough about 1/4 inch thick. Use a large luncheon plate to cut out circles. Layer ingredients on one half circle in this order: meat, potatoes, onion (be generous), carrot or turnip, salt, pepper and 1 pat of butter. Leave a border to close; fold over and close with a "rope" edges or fluting. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Cool 15 minutes. Eat in hands, if desired.
