12 oz. quantity pastry (pie pastry?)
1 med. onion
1/2 lb. lean ground beef
6 oz. potatoes
6 oz. carrots
1/4 tsp. salt
12 oz. (1 lb.) flour
Pepper
Beaten egg

Divide pastry into 4 and roll into 8-inch circles. Combine ground beef, chopped onion, peeled and finely cubed carrots and potatoes, salt and pepper. Brush edges of pastry circles with water. Divide out meat mixture and place on each piece of pastry. Fold over pastry so each pastie is a half circle. Seal edges well. Place on baking sheet, brush with beaten egg. Bake at 425 degrees for 40-45 minutes. Makes 4.

TRADITIONAL FINISH: Bring edges to top, seal and flute edges. This is a traditional English recipe originally prepared for the fisherman in Cornwall (S.W. England) by their wives. Each being a convenient "package" of meat and vegetables!
