Ingredients: Make a pastry measuring 1/4 cup shortening to 1 cup of flour for each pastry to be made.

Potato, chipped (not chunky)
Onion, chopped (not real fine)
Beef chuck steak, cut in sm. pieces removing gristle - use a good grade for
tenderness and flavor
Pork steak may be added in sm. amount after cutting in small pieces
Parsley, rutabago and carrot is optional (all cut in small pieces)

Roll dough about 1/8 inch thin on a floured board. Cut in an 8 inch circle for a small pastry - larger if you prefer. On half of the dough layer the ingredients putting a handful of onion first, then a layer of potato, then the beef and a little pork, more onion, salt and pepper, and chunks of butter last. Dampen edge of circle and fold uncovered portion over the filled part and seal tightly. Crimp the edges. This will be in the shape of a half moon. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 1 hour after placing on a lightly greased pan. Note: Pasties originated in Cornwall, England when the miners' wives brought a hot meal to their husbands at work.
