Venison Pasties

magnusthebigbrownlab · 05-07-2007, 09:05 PM

3 c. flour
1 1/2 sticks butter (cold and cut into bits)
1 1/2 tsp. salt
6 tbsp. water
In a large bowl, combine flour, butter and salt. Blend ingredients until well combined and add water, one tablespoon at a time to form a dough. Toss mixture until it forms a ball. Kneed dough lightly against a smooth surface with heel of the hand to distribute fat evenly. Form into a ball, dust with flour, wrap in wax paper and chill for 30 minutes.
filling
2 lb. venison, coarsely ground
5 carrots, chopped
2 lg. onions, chopped
2-3 potatoes, depending on size, peeled and chopped
2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
Combine all ingredients in large bowl. Divide the dough into 6 pieces, and roll one of the pieces into a 10-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Put 1 1/2 cups of filling on half of the round. Moisten the edges and fold the unfilled half over the filling to enclose it. Pinch the edges together to seal them and crimp them decoratively with a fork. Transfer pasty to lightly buttered baking sheet and cut several slits in the top. Roll out and fill the remaining dough in the same manner. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. Put 1 tsp. butter through a slit in each pasty and continue baking for 30 minutes more. Remove from oven, cover with a damp tea towel, cool for 15 minutes.

"Venison pasties"

I thought this post was going to be about a gentlemen's club catering to outdoorsmen. Oops!

Sounds good, and don't even THINK of pronouncing it with a long A - yoopers and folks on the range think you're speaking some other language then.
Can't beat pasties.

I know what pasties are. I've eaten more than a few while bobbing around on Lake Superior out of Marquette Michigan. I've also experienced them at Deadwood South Dakota. You usually will find pasties where ever there were/are miners or mining.
