Ingredients
2 1/8 cups all-purpose flour1/4 teaspoon salt1 teaspoon baking powder1/2 cup butter, diced1/2 cup water3/4 pounds ground beef1 large potatoes, peeled and diced1 small carrots1 medium turnipsalt and pepper to taste2 tablespoons milk
Directions
In a small saucepan, cover carrots with water. Bring water to a boil and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Let cool and slice. Sift flour, salt, and baking powder together in a bowl. Add butter, and rub to the consistency of coarse crumbs. Mix in water. If dough is sticky, add more flour.
Roll dough out until about 1/4 inch thick. Cut out 8 circles, each about 4 inches round. Do not stretch the dough.
Mix meat and vegetables together, and salt and pepper to taste. Cover half of each pasty base with the filling. Moisten pastry edges, fold pastry over the filling. Press edges together with a fork. Transfer raw pasties to a baking sheet, brush tops with milk, and make a small slit in each top to allow steam out.
Bake at 450 degrees F ( 230 degrees C) for 10 minutes. Turn oven down to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and bake for 35 minutes.

    The carrots are the only things pre-cooked? The beef is put in the pasties raw? - 7/7/09

    Used this recipe the other day and the pasties tasted like my mom's - only I cheated and used a pre-made pie crust - 8/14/09
