cornish pastie ii

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 1 recipe pastry for a (10 inch) double crust pie
• 2 cups thinly sliced potatoes
• 1/2 cup sliced onion
• 1/2 pound round steak, thinly sliced and cut in 1/2 inch pie
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 pinch ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter

Recipe

• divide pastry in three equal parts. roll 1/3 to make 8x15 inch rectangle. trim edges and cut to make two 7-inch squares. place on baking sheet. repeat with other two thirds of pastry.
• arrange layer of potatoes on half of each pastry square, top with layer of onion and then with meat. sprinkle with salt and pepper and dot with butter.
• moisten pastry edges with cold water and fold over to make triangles; press edges together to make tight seal. a tight seal retains steam and makes juicy pastries.
• bake at 375 degrees f (190 degrees c) for 1 hour or until meat is tender. serve hot with chili sauce, ketchup, or pickle relish or serve cold for sandwiches.
