turnips, rutabagas, and pasties redux

11 years ago
I finally made the pasties, and, Nancy, your recipe was delicious! Wonderful filling. My crust was nothing like your pictures, though. Mine was much more like tender, flaky piecrust, not firm like the only other pasty I have ever eaten. I couldn't fold my dough in half, so I ended up piling the filling on one circle, putting a second circle on top, then crimping the two circles together and making rounds.
Until I started using lard instead of butter and shortening in my pie
crusts, I was an abysmal failure - could rarely get two circles into the pie plate and filled. With lard I am practically a genius! I was better able to handle your recipe than any other butter/shortening recipe I've tried and it was excellent. Now my husband thinks I should use your recipe for my pies!
Thank you for a great recipe.
