My grandma used to make these but she put in italian sausage, ground beef, onion, gr. pepper, garlic, cut up small pieces of pepperoni, and cheese. When ready to serve, she'd top with marinara sauce she made homemade, then sprinkled with parmesan. When she made dessert pasties, she fill them with apple pie filling then when ready to serve, a dollop of vanilla ice cream. I so miss my grandma. Thanks so much for your recipe. I will try it!
Jillibeens: Grandma's are the best cooks. I'm sorry she's not here for you any more. I know she was a special lady because of her cooking, and you have shared her memory with thousands of readers. Be proud of what you did.
For many years we lived on the border of Michigan and, at first, we didn’t know what pasties were. But soon we tried them and loved them. We were told that the miners would place these pasties on top of their head near their head lamp to warm them up just before lunch. Pasties do not have gravy inside because they would be too runny and messy to eat down in the mines. Now there are fast-food restaurants which sell only pasties up there in Michigan. The original pasties were made with rutabagas, but nowadays you can buy them with all the regular ingredients except rutabagas, if you choose. So happy to see that you shared this recipe. I am so excited to try to make some of my own. Thank you!
Okay, who is this little Munchkin! I love her! Can I try? Very relaxing video to watch for this California Boy living in Santa Cruz....born in Marquette. I'd argue using carrots, but, hey, that's me. Born and raised on Madelines Pasties on Washington St. in Marquette.
In Argentina we call them empanadas, they look just like you but with local products! We make them with different fillings, wine and dessert and that’s it! Thank you for taking me back to a place i love!
Rutabaga's! You explain this really well! I lived in the Keweenaw for 2 years about 30 years ago and pasties were a huge part of our lives! I'm divorced now, but since we are friends I'll have to invite him over for surprise pasties! Good memories! Thanks!
I lived in Sault Ste. Marie in the UP and I have NEVER seen the meat pre-cooked and haven't seen pork used either. Having said that, they are the best thing in the world and always warm the heart on a cold winter day.
These looked SOOO good! These are the nicest pasties I've ever seen...nice and plump, well-filled too. Thanks for the information about the history lesson also, about how the wives made these in the shapes they are. Mmmnnn! 🌮
Pasties are my favourite thing to cook and eat I bake all sorts from the traditional Cornish pasty to corned beef and potato with onion and cheese and onion with potato and even bacon potato and onion pasties my kids used to love the corned beef ones with baked beans the British kind that's the great thing about pasties they're versatile you can do most filling for them
YUM, these look SO GOOD!! I live in the lower peninsula of Michigan, but as I was growing up my mom made these and we all LOVED them!!! We used to vacation in Minnesota in the summer & traveled there by way of the UP. As soon as we crossed the Mackinaw Bridge we knew we would be stopping soon to have pasties. After having them the first time my mom who was an excellent cook developed her own recipe. Going on how I remembered my mom's recipe I made these for my family too. This is a meal that surely shows the love you put into it. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
I saw the video on how to make pasties. I made them on Saturday and there were the best pasties my hubby and I ever had. Is was so easy to make the filling and the crust was so good. I made 10 pasties I packaged them up and we have 3 freezer meals of pasties in the freezer. I give this recipe a thumbs up and 10 plus. Try them you will not regret it!!!!
Thank you mama!! I grew up in WI, close to Ironwood MI, and my great great aunt used to make these. I took them frozen in my dorm at college, and they were my favorite late night meal. I can't wait to try your recipe!
I like to slow roast my veggies the day before. I like your proportions, a little rutabaga goes a long way but slow roasted its like veggie candy. Beautiful video. fun,fun. 😎👍🐶👏👏👋
I greatly appreciate the recipe. I'm originally from Flint, MI but I recently relocated to Idaho. As a truck driver I end up eating hot pockets half the time. I cannot wait to replace them with Pasties. They are so delicious but my family didn't have a recipe for them. we just found them locally. I cannot wait to try them.
A really big thanks for you making this video. I grew up eating pasties. Mother was a Finn lander from Wakefield Mi. She spent the rest of her short life living in south east Wi. If you only knew how much I miss those pasties and her. I lost her in 1980. I had to be sure you put rudibeger in them, to know yours and hers were the same. Your children will remember you well for your great cooking skills. I will be trying to repeat what you said on video Again, Thankyou! P.S. I used to put catsup on mine right out of the oven!
I was just eating a Joe's Pasty Shop pasty while watching this video. I love how your daughter wants to help so bad. I wish that I had tried that with my boys. I miss my kids being so little and wanting to be involved in my life. Good job! I was born a Yooper and always will be.
In England we call these Cornish Pasties ("A" pronounced as in apple). A favorite food of Great Britain. :-) Thank you for sharing!! ps. LOVE how your grand baby got to participate a bit!!
Yes, we call them "past ease" (spelled phonetically) in Minnesota. That is the correct pronunciation. Different areas of the US pronounce things differently.
I'm from Michigan too! I miss the pasties! I've lived in Arizona for the last 30 years! But I'm moving back to Michigan where I grew up.First trip up north I'm going to eat all the Pasties I can! I have made them, I used rhutabagas too, With out them it would'nt be original! Gosh this makes me Hungry! Thank's for the memories!
I recently got back to Michigan after being away for many years and am looking forward to making Pastys for the first time for my family. I like the little history lesson that goes with them. Didn't know about keeping it over the coffee to keep the pasty warm. Thanks for sharing!
Renea I enjoyed your video I’ve eaten pasties my whole life growing up in Marquette and then in Frankfort my wife and I have made them here in Tacoma Wa. And people love them thank you again
Da yw genev metya genes! I'm from Cornwall the home of the pasty, it's so interesting to see the american adaptations of the Pasty. Traditional Cornish pasty here contains, beef skirt steak, potato, onion and swede. Pastry is crimped but they turn out in a more oval shape rather than round. I'd be more than happy to send a recipe or pictures. Great video
@@mitrishski1 That's great to hear, my mum's side of the family is Cornish and I've lived here all my life. She would tell me of how her grandmother would make them so big they'd hang off the sides of the dinner plate
Yummy!! I love pasties! 😊 Yours look scrumptious!! Thanks for showing us how you make them and the great recipe for the dough.❤ I also lived in the UP from 1975 thru 1978. Never learned how to make them but now I know from watching your video. Glad to see that you cooked your meat to render all of that fat and grease from them. Totally agree. I wouldn't want a soggy, greasy pasty. 🙂❣Btw, I like mine without any ketchup or gravy. Just plain as is from the oven.
Thank you. I had so many folks tell me I was not to pre cook the meat, but it would have been a soggy blob of grease if I didn't. Maybe with very lean meat you could not pre cook it. I love them right out of the oven too. But I do enjoy some good gravy...
Hi Renea!!! This just popped up on my phone so I decided to watch it. My how your pretty Grandaughter has grown. This is a good video. I'm saving it. Never had these. 10-12-22. Great video!!!...
I taught. My two girls at early age.. both are grown y married now.! They always thank me. for the memories.... We had fun.... I miss them. I am very alone.
Awsome, have had only one in my life. Will always remember. Was either upper up Michigan on the left side or Canada. Was a small road side store. It was One of the best things i have ever eaten. Always talking about it. Now i will have to try to make. Also nice to know i dont have to have the authentic specific cut of beef for it. My dad once lived in east towas. Thank You for making this Video !!
Awesome video, so gonna try this. I love coming across videos of fellow Michaganders. We are almost neighbors 👍🏽😉😁. Y'all have a blessed day, looking so forward to watching the rest of your videos.
* lol * I was bred, born, & raised in MI. Of French Huguenot & Dutch heritage. I never even HEARD of pasties while growing up. First time was probably in my mid-20s, when I was in the USMC and NOT in Michigan! People need to be aware that MI has a big population, upwards of 40 million last I knew. So it’s always a bit suspect to claim that something - anything - is a “state favorite.” I now live in the Ozark Mountains. Pasties aren’t a thing here, either. We do, however, have a food van by the name of “London Calling.” Started by a British guy & his American cousin some years ago. Pasties are their specialty! Steak-&-kidney, bangers-&-mash, & a lot of other varieties - some ‘inspired’ by American culture. Their pasties are really big, more than enough for two people. Often served with a container of savory brown gravy. The crusts are handmade right there, SO yummy. And they sell British soft drinks & candy, etc.! It’s been a really successful little business. On cold, blustery winter days there’s nothing like a warm, filling “hand-pie.” Sure - you may have to stand in line for a while fending off frost-bite, but that makes the food taste even better. Bonus? They have a genuine vintage, red double-decker London bus with heat (& a/c for summer!) Just climb aboard & eat!
Cornish pasties were invented for the tin miners because they were in tin mines all day there wife's would make Cornish pasties with meat and potatoes other vegetables on one side the other side had jam you call it jelly and because there hands were dirty they could'nt wash there hand they would turn pasty upside down used pleated side to eat it ( if you Google Cornish tin mines it will tell you the same story) ,l live in east Yorkshire in old fishing town called Kingston upon Hull it's were William Wilberforce was born he started petitioning parliament to stop slavery and won ,there is a museum in Hull all about his history and life as a mp ( member of parliament) here England hope you all have great week
The tradition was continued by the miners of Michigan’s upper peninsula (the UP, for short, and those from the area are known as Yoopers). They would wrap them in foil and heat them over hot coals for lunch so as to have something hot and hearty to eat in the middle of the day. To this day, pasty shops are everywhere there. The pronunciation is the same. The going argument seems to be whether to cover them with ketchup or gravy. When I was growing up, we ate them plain, but as ketchup caught on, we liked them that way also.
I lived in the U P and learned to make pasties in 1973 and have been making them ever since. when my kids were young they liked ketchup but the grown ups liked gravy. any time I would say I was going to make pasties friends thought I meant pies. :)
Lord !!! Where do you get the energy to make those ? It must take you hours ! Your a good wife & mother - very hard working to make 27 pasties for your family ... Thank you for this video 💐💐💐💐💐💐💝5-5-2020
Hallo. I made pasties. But for got salt. Plus I half cup of butter and half cup of shortening.. my filling was good I will keep trying till I get it right. I ate some hot salsa with two I ate. But it took 4 cups flour 9 came out only. Couldn't get my edging just like yours. It will take practice. I don't give up.. I would sent a picture but my friends are. Y her kids . They said they were good.. thank you so much!
All children love to help! My kids always tried to imitate me! It's good to let them see how real healthy food is made! It's much better than the stuff that comes out of bag! She's a Beautiful granddaughter there!
Hello Dear Renea, I just happened upon your channel this evening, & I'm so glad to be invited into your kitchen! I love that you welcome your children to help; I have wonderful memories of my mother doing the same ;-) Blessing to you & your household!
Looks amazing! My husband is from Minnesota and his mother taught me how to make these. She made them just a little different, but basically the same idea. My family opens then up and drizzles ketchup over them. Lol!
Like how patient she is with the kids. When I see moms being like my step mom I know those kids are most likely abused and living with hurt and pain and sadness. I dedicated my life to my son the second I knew I was pregnant. Every choice I made was with him as my number 1 concern. My parents didn't do that and I, a very good child and God loving child ended up on my own at 13 and pregnant at 17. My step mom only wanted it to be her 2 kids. My dad's you gest 2 children. A decade younger then me and my brother. These kids are going to be able to do this with her grand kids. It's a beautiful thi g to be a good mother to ur children. They grow up much more whole and happy as adults from the start.
I've never seen ground beef, pork and carrots in pasties. Very interesting variation. Also, grew up outside of Detroit but spent summers up in Oscoda ... due east of you (on Lake Huron). So beautiful up north. I miss it.
I grew up on Minnesota, and eating pasties, with catsup, because I complained about how dry they often were. Eventually, because I still liked them, I added a couple of tablespoons of beef gravy over the top before folding it up, it helped with moistness.
Erica Pruett That is why I wanted to see one of these cooked all the way. I probably would put a gravy over mine as well, because she drained the beef and pork well, and possibly would be dry inside. I grew up in southeast Iowa.
omg! for once I am glad my insomnia resulted in something great! my dad is from Michigan and he has always talked about pasties. I knew what they were but haven't found any tutorials on how to make them. will be trying these soon.
Lol ~ love, love, LOVE your half-baked pasties!!! My mom did a very similar version when we were small. But by the time there were four of us rugrats running around, she decided that PB&J and baloney sandwiches were good enough for us, haha. Will definitely give this recipe a try. Thanks so much! 👏😊
You're the first RUclipsr I've seen who makes pasties like Grandma. Rutabagas are IMPERATIVE! Wonderful. Also, can you give.us your house seasoning recipe? And Italian.seasoning if its homemade? Thanks. Shades of my visits to Grandma and Grandpa in the UP!
Awe, Thank you. I have all my spice blends in this playlist so you can pick and choose the ones you may like.. Thank you. ruclips.net/video/MeYDjIL9zVU/видео.html
I love Michigan even though I live in Maine. My Uncle Jim lives in Blissfield, Michigan. And my 2nd cousin ownes her own candy shop. It's called Minnie's Retro Candies.
I had family that lived in Menominee Michigan and I remember pasties well. Then I move to the UK and I learned how to make Cornish pasties so I have sort of crossed the recipes.
Great video my brother and i snowmobile in the UP 5 or 6 times a year there is a store we usually buy 25 each on our last trip each year we buy 50 each we love them have a great day be safe.
I ran out of my frozen ones a month ago and have to wait till June to get back up there and get my order from the senior center. And I am a pasty snob. I bought this crap that said pasty from Walmart one time and I couldn't even swallow it I'm so craving one with kechup right now you know ehh. Can't wait to retire and go back to God's country.
Wow what an awesome video! I haven't seen the meat cooked first like you said they won't be as greasy! I love pasties and will be making some soon! I prefer eating mine cold, I have always enjoyed them better that way!! I will be freezing mine also because I could live off them, they are that good! Have you noticed if by cooking the meat first that maybe you may be losing some of the flavor? Just asking because that was a thought! I hope I can make the crust flaky because I love a good pie crust type crust but have never been successful making crust that's why I haven't had pasties in many many y\ears! My mom made them 60 years ago and I really miss her pasties! Ty again for sharing an amazing video!
I'm from MI too. I have to admit I never heard of Kaleva LOL Lived here for 50 years and have no idea where that is! LOL I'm in Linden MI. Love your channel and that little one too she is a doll! Thanks from one Michigander to another.
@@LittleVillageHomestead Yes south west of Flint. I looked you up and it is way up north LOL I use to live in Traverse City, Kalkaska, and west Branch but never made it to Kelva, unless I did and just didn't notice it LOL
FYI just wanted to let you know: my mom told me she's recently read it's easier to grate frozen butter into the pastries. I haven't tried it yet but I watched her make scones at Thanksgiving. :)
My MiL used to make these. I never heard of them before that. No one I know made these besides her. She put small diced beef and diced potatoes in hers. They came out quite dry. I'll be anxious to see how yours turn out. TFS!
Gonna try . I was born and raised in Kalamazoo Michigan . I live in Tenn .I never thought I say this but I do miss the snow . Down here 1/2 inch will shut the city down lol .
Carol King: What???You miss the snow??? Are you kidding me??? Ann Arbor is a snowy mess...probably 6/7 inches and still snowing. I wouldn't live any where else...so much to do here....Just a half an inch ??? Wow!!! What would they do if they had as much as we do in Michigan???
OKay you rock on the tub ideal GF.. I have no counter top space & all ways using my sinks for putting my bowls in.. Luv the Tub ideal the best. I will have to make some of these Thanks for sharing.. Big Hugs :")
Great video, thank-you for sharing. Quick Question: You said that they were 1/2 baked and you would freeze them -- how do you prepare them after you take them out of the freezer? Thanks!
Make it the English way,the men would keep them in their pockets,the Edge was to hold the pasti so they wouldn't get dirt on the rest of the pasti,they were made from skirt steak,potato, ruderbaker,onion,the steak and veg were cut small and the meat was not cooked it made its own gravy.
Catching some old recioes/videos. In your video you say 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup crisco. In the drop down you say 2 cups shortening (1/2 & 1/2). Which is correct? Also, how long would you bake the pasties if you weren't going to freeze them? I'm guessing about 45 minutes.
I LUV YOUR PASTY RECIPE IT SEEMS SIMILAR TO IRON TOWN PASTY IN NEGAUNY. THEY WERE THE FIRST PASTY I TASTED AND THEY WERE MY FAVORITE OF ALL I TRIED. I LUV THEM WITH COLD SLAW "KFC" MY FAVORITE. THANKYOU SO MUCH!!!FOR YOUR VIDIO!😀😀
I *LOVE* your interractions with your granddaughter. I love that you are teaching her, not only, cooking, but kitchen hygiene. Great job Grandma!!!!
My favorite part of the video!!
I thought that cute little was your daughter!
My grandma used to make these but she put in italian sausage, ground beef, onion, gr. pepper, garlic, cut up small pieces of pepperoni, and cheese. When ready to serve, she'd top with marinara sauce she made homemade, then sprinkled with parmesan.
When she made dessert pasties, she fill them with apple pie filling then when ready to serve, a dollop of vanilla ice cream.
I so miss my grandma.
Thanks so much for your recipe. I will try it!
Oh my goodness how delicious that sounds. You had an amazing grandma....

L'Anse and rutabega was my favorite.
Your recipe says 2 cups of shortening but you put in 1/2 cup shortening and 1/2 cup of butter, which is the correct way to do it?
I lived in Sault Ste. Marie in the UP and I have NEVER seen the meat pre-cooked and haven't seen pork used either. Having said that, they are the best thing in the world and always warm the heart on a cold winter day.

I lived in the keewenaw peninsula for several years and got hooked on these. One of my favorite foods during those cold winters.
I have never had these before...but the possibilities are endless for the stuffing in these!!!!
Oh my goodness yes you can stuff anything in them...Thank you...😊

Precooking the meat is a good idea. Thanks for showing how to make pasties.
my grandma used to do that with me too, but she would give me some to do myself. brings back memories. That's how I learned to cook like her.

Pasties are their specialty! Steak-&-kidney, bangers-&-mash, & a lot of other varieties - some ‘inspired’ by American culture. Their pasties are really big, more than enough for two people. Often served with a container of savory brown gravy. The crusts are handmade right there, SO yummy. And they sell British soft drinks & candy, etc.! It’s been a really successful little business. On cold, blustery winter days there’s nothing like a warm, filling “hand-pie.” Sure - you may have to stand in line for a while fending off frost-bite, but that makes the food taste even better. Bonus? They have a genuine vintage, red double-decker London bus with heat (& a/c for summer!) Just climb aboard & eat!
Wow, the bus sounds awesome. What a great business idea!
I am so happy I found your channel. Love the videos. Have a great day ,From Illinois
Welcome to my channel Patti... I am glad you enjoy my videos.
I love your recipes
Cornish pasties were invented for the tin miners because they were in tin mines all day there wife's would make Cornish pasties with meat and potatoes other vegetables on one side the other side had jam you call it jelly and because there hands were dirty they could'nt wash there hand they would turn pasty upside down used pleated side to eat it ( if you Google Cornish tin mines it will tell you the same story) ,l live in east Yorkshire in old fishing town called Kingston upon Hull it's were William Wilberforce was born he started petitioning parliament to stop slavery and won ,there is a museum in Hull all about his history and life as a mp ( member of parliament) here England hope you all have great week
The tradition was continued by the miners of Michigan’s upper peninsula (the UP, for short, and those from the area are known as Yoopers). They would wrap them in foil and heat them over hot coals for lunch so as to have something hot and hearty to eat in the middle of the day. To this day, pasty shops are everywhere there. The pronunciation is the same. The going argument seems to be whether to cover them with ketchup or gravy. When I was growing up, we ate them plain, but as ketchup caught on, we liked them that way also.
Copper miners in the UP..
I lived in the U P and learned to make pasties in 1973 and have been making them ever since. when
my kids were young they liked ketchup but the grown ups liked gravy. any time I would say I was going to make pasties
friends thought I meant pies. :)
I have always loved them...That's funny, were the surprised to see pasties..
yes I was and excited to see someone else knew about them. :)
Rosanna I was born in the UP and we always ate them with ketchup, still do.
Lord !!! Where do you get the energy to make those ? It must take you hours !
Your a good wife & mother - very hard working to make 27 pasties for your family ... Thank you for this video 💐💐💐💐💐💐💝5-5-2020
Hallo. I made pasties. But for got salt. Plus I half cup of butter and half cup of shortening.. my filling was good I will keep trying till I get it right. I ate some hot salsa with two I ate. But it took 4 cups flour 9 came out only. Couldn't get my edging just like yours. It will take practice. I don't give up.. I would sent a picture but my friends are. Y her kids . They said they were good.. thank you so much!
All children love to help! My kids always tried to imitate me! It's good to let them see how real healthy food is made! It's much better than the stuff that comes out of bag! She's a Beautiful granddaughter there!
I love how you can feel if you have enough dough in your hands or not. That's called experience.
Loved your pastie video!
Hello Dear Renea, I just happened upon your channel this evening, & I'm so glad to be invited into your kitchen! I love that you welcome your children to help; I have wonderful memories of my mother doing the same ;-) Blessing to you & your household!
Looks amazing! My husband is from Minnesota and his mother taught me how to make these. She made them just a little different, but basically the same idea. My family opens then up and drizzles ketchup over them. Lol!
My grandmother Hilma use to make us pasties in Houghton/Hancock Michigan. They were so good.
Thank you Rob.
I use suet for my pastry and to give us the most delicious beautiful pastry.
I love rutabags in them, yummmm
Like how patient she is with the kids. When I see moms being like my step mom I know those kids are most likely abused and living with hurt and pain and sadness. I dedicated my life to my son the second I knew I was pregnant. Every choice I made was with him as my number 1 concern. My parents didn't do that and I, a very good child and God loving child ended up on my own at 13 and pregnant at 17. My step mom only wanted it to be her 2 kids. My dad's you gest 2 children. A decade younger then me and my brother. These kids are going to be able to do this with her grand kids. It's a beautiful thi g to be a good mother to ur children. They grow up much more whole and happy as adults from the start.
I've never seen ground beef, pork and carrots in pasties. Very interesting variation.
Also, grew up outside of Detroit but spent summers up in Oscoda ... due east of you (on Lake Huron). So beautiful up north. I miss it.
Ok those look really great! Gonna give them a go!
I will have to make these for my husband. they look yummy.
Very good thankyou
I grew up on Minnesota, and eating pasties, with catsup, because I complained about how dry they often were. Eventually, because I still liked them, I added a couple of tablespoons of beef gravy over the top before folding it up, it helped with moistness.
I like the idea of adding a little gravy.
Erica Pruett That is why I wanted to see one of these cooked all the way. I probably would put a gravy over mine as well, because she drained the beef and pork well, and possibly would be dry inside. I grew up in southeast Iowa.
@@amythomas1124 in UK we do put gravy inside Cornish pasties because they would be dry
omg! for once I am glad my insomnia resulted in something great! my dad is from Michigan and he has always talked about pasties. I knew what they were but haven't found any tutorials on how to make them. will be trying these soon.
Lol ~ love, love, LOVE your half-baked pasties!!! My mom did a very similar version when we were small. But by the time there were four of us rugrats running around, she decided that PB&J and baloney sandwiches were good enough for us, haha. Will definitely give this recipe a try. Thanks so much! 👏😊
You're the first RUclipsr I've seen who makes pasties like Grandma. Rutabagas are IMPERATIVE! Wonderful. Also, can you give.us your house seasoning recipe? And Italian.seasoning if its homemade? Thanks. Shades of my visits to Grandma and Grandpa in the UP!
Awe, Thank you. I have all my spice blends in this playlist so you can pick and choose the ones you may like.. Thank you. ruclips.net/video/MeYDjIL9zVU/видео.html
I love Michigan even though I live in Maine. My Uncle Jim lives in Blissfield, Michigan. And my 2nd cousin ownes her own candy shop. It's called Minnie's Retro Candies.
Judith Niles Blissfield is a nice small town! Love visiting friends there’
Fabulous! I will try these! ...Half baked! made me laugh!
I had family that lived in Menominee Michigan and I remember pasties well. Then I move to the UK and I learned how to make Cornish pasties so I have sort of crossed the recipes.
How long do you bake if not freezing?
Great video my brother and i snowmobile in the UP 5 or 6 times a year there is a store we usually buy 25 each on our last trip each year we buy 50 each we love them have a great day be safe.
They are a fantastic addition to the freezer...They are a meal all alone...Thank you.
I ran out of my frozen ones a month ago and have to wait till June to get back up there and get my order from the senior center. And I am a pasty snob. I bought this crap that said pasty from Walmart one time and I couldn't even swallow it I'm so craving one with kechup right now you know ehh. Can't wait to retire and go back to God's country.
I love making these. They are great for my husbands lunch.
They really do make a nice lunch... Thank You...
Wow what an awesome video! I haven't seen the meat cooked first like you said they won't be as greasy! I love pasties and will be making some soon! I prefer eating mine cold, I have always enjoyed them better that way!! I will be freezing mine also because I could live off them, they are that good! Have you noticed if by cooking the meat first that maybe you may be losing some of the flavor? Just asking because that was a thought! I hope I can make the crust flaky because I love a good pie crust type crust but have never been successful making crust that's why I haven't had pasties in many many y\ears! My mom made them 60 years ago and I really miss her pasties! Ty again for sharing an amazing video!
I'm from MI too. I have to admit I never heard of Kaleva LOL Lived here for 50 years and have no idea where that is! LOL I'm in Linden MI. Love your channel and that little one too she is a doll! Thanks from one Michigander to another.
Kaleva is just south of Traverse City. I thin you are just south of Flint?
@@LittleVillageHomestead Yes south west of Flint. I looked you up and it is way up north LOL I use to live in Traverse City, Kalkaska, and west Branch but never made it to Kelva, unless I did and just didn't notice it LOL
Kaleva is one of those small towns that if you blink you will miss it...LOL
FYI just wanted to let you know: my mom told me she's recently read it's easier to grate frozen butter into the pastries. I haven't tried it yet but I watched her make scones at Thanksgiving. :)
Yes, I made scones with frozen, then grated butter.
My MiL used to make these. I never heard of them before that. No one I know made these besides her. She put small diced beef and diced potatoes in hers. They came out quite dry. I'll be anxious to see how yours turn out. TFS!
Gonna try . I was born and raised in Kalamazoo Michigan . I live in Tenn .I never thought I say this but I do miss the snow . Down here 1/2 inch will shut the city down lol .
I love living in Michigan too but sometimes you just need a break from the bone chilling cold and snow...lol
Carol King: What???You miss the snow??? Are you kidding me??? Ann Arbor is a snowy mess...probably 6/7 inches and still snowing. I wouldn't live any where else...so much to do here....Just a half an inch ??? Wow!!! What would they do if they had as much as we do in Michigan???
OKay you rock on the tub ideal GF.. I have no counter top space & all ways using my sinks for putting my bowls in.. Luv the Tub ideal the best. I will have to make some of these Thanks for sharing.. Big Hugs :")
Fond memories of growing up! I make them for my family now!
This looks so good. Saving to my recipe file.
Made these tonight. YUMMY!!!
Great video, thank-you for sharing. Quick Question: You said that they were 1/2 baked and you would freeze them -- how do you prepare them after you take them out of the freezer? Thanks!
bake them @ 350° for 30 minutes after thawed.
Thank you for sharing! Can you deep fry them instead of baking?
no they won't turn out well.
I like your style.
Written recipe says 2C. shortening. Video said ½ C. butter + ½ C. butter. What is the correct amount of fat for 3C. flour?
Yea. Is it 3:2:1 by volume or weight?
Thank you for sharing. I am going to make these.
Thank you.
Make it the English way,the men would keep them in their pockets,the Edge was to hold the pasti so they wouldn't get dirt on the rest of the pasti,they were made from skirt steak,potato, ruderbaker,onion,the steak and veg were cut small and the meat was not cooked it made its own gravy.
Gotta use lard instead of shortening :) and dont be afraid of making them with parsnip too. I put a sprinkle of rosemary too.
Catching some old recioes/videos. In your video you say 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup crisco. In the drop down you say 2 cups shortening (1/2 & 1/2). Which is correct? Also, how long would you bake the pasties if you weren't going to freeze them? I'm guessing about 45 minutes.
I LUV YOUR PASTY RECIPE IT SEEMS SIMILAR TO IRON TOWN PASTY IN NEGAUNY. THEY WERE THE FIRST PASTY I TASTED AND THEY WERE MY FAVORITE OF ALL I TRIED. I LUV THEM WITH COLD SLAW "KFC" MY FAVORITE. THANKYOU SO MUCH!!!FOR YOUR VIDIO!😀😀
