Here is a recipe that should be familiar to all my fellow yoopers!! I love these, and even though they are always made different by everyone, this recipe just looked good so i wanted to share it with my southern friends!! Upper Peninsula Pasties Recipe (thats what the recipe was even called, no joke...lol) Ingredients 2 cups shortening 2 cups boiling water 5-1/2 to 6 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons salt FILLING: 12 large red potatoes (about 6 pounds), peeled 4 medium rutabagas (about 3 pounds), peeled 2 medium onions, chopped 2 pounds ground beef 1 pound ground pork 1 tablespoon salt 2 teaspoons pepper 2 teaspoons garlic powder 1/4 cup butter Half-and-half cream, optional Directions In a large bowl, stir shortening and water until shortening is melted. Gradually stir in flour and salt until a very soft dough is formed; cover and refrigerate for 1-1/2 hours. Quarter and thinly slice potatoes and rutabagas; place in a large bowl with onions, beef, pork and seasonings. Divide dough into 12 equal portions. On a floured surface, roll out one portion at a time into a 10-in. circle. Mound about 2 cups filling on half of each circle; dot with 1 teaspoon butter. Moisten edges with water; fold dough over filling and press edges with a fork to seal. Place on ungreased baking sheets. Cut several slits in top of pasties. Brush with cream if desired. Bake at 350° for 1 hour or until golden brown. Cool on wire racks. Serve hot or cold. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 12 servings.
