    I am a born-and-raised Yooper from Escanaba, MI! I actually worked at one of the most famous and best pasty shop chains in the Upper Peninsula, Dobber’s Pasties! (Our main shop is in Escanaba, and our second shop is in Iron Mountain) We get people that come in ALL the time wanting to get one of our well-known pasties, you can’t try any other flavor of pasty for your first time except for the original beef, and even giving a side of ketchup, a spicy ketchup, or beef gravy a shot as well to eat along with it! Lots of people say that Dobber’s Pasties are soft, have nice flavor, and taste just like their mom’s/grandma’s homemade pasties. We get people not just from around the U.P., but from ALL OVER the country that tour up here and want to try our well-known, traditional food. Even though the Upper Peninsula is known for their pasties, it originally came from Cornwall, so it is a Cornish meal. Sometimes we get people that are from England that come to the shop to get a taste of our pasties to see if they taste just as good as the ones from their homeland. If you guys ever come visit the U.P., specifically in the Escanaba area, definitely stop by Dobber’s Pasties! ❤️😊👍🥧

    This made me cry in a wonderful, nostalgic way. My grandmother was from MI and pasties was one of her specialties. I never made them with her :( but she left me the recipe and her secret. We thought she made up the recipe but she gave me the old newspaper article from the 50s that had the recipe. She laughed and said no one knew and she wish we had made them together. I have never had the courage to make them. It's an intimidating recipe for an inexperienced baker. After watching you I now think I can do it with your guidance. Thank YOU! She did not put in sausage or ground beef. She made a roast and use that meat instead. She served them with gravy from that roast. So Delicious! Love to you Grandma.

    My Dad, a little feisty Italian grew up in Iron Mountain Michigan. We had pasties in a weekly dinner rotation and always packed them for vacation’s.
    Funny fact. My Dad never figured out the hot water crust (which is what I use now) As he got older rolling out the crust was difficult. I drove in their driveway one day and my Dad was standing in the garage by his car looking at the walls laughing.
    Yes, he put crust in plastic bags behind all 4 tires and rolled the car over them.. Needless to say, they exploded everywhere. If only RUclips “cook with me” had been around back then. 😂

She made the best cornbread dressing I ever had in my life. She raised five children and I was blessed to marry her middle son. Our two sons were very happy to have her for their Mee-Maw. She made it to 90 years and 3 months of age, then suddenly left us.

    Yes! Michigan girl here, married to a Yooper originally from Ontonagon. 😍 We love pasties! I use diced beef or ground pork, and always include onion, carrot, potato, and rutabaga. I prefer the hot water crust, though I do a combination of shortening and butter. For our first ‘serious’ date, I made pasties and a layered carrot cake, two of my husband’s favorites. Though he meant it as a compliment, he said my pasties reminded him of the ones his grandma bought from the freezer section. 😂😂 To this day, he insists he meant they looked like store-bought, but tasted way better. Pretty sure he’ll never live it down - my parents are fond of repeating that story. Thankful I married a man with such a good sense of humor! 😁😊🥰

    I'm originally from Michigan (LP) and I grew up with my mother making pasties. She got the recipe in the 1940's from an elderly UP woman and it closely matches Renee's, but hers did not require the weighing and measuring that Renee did, nor did she mix the veg and meat. The crust was her basic pie crust with a little extra flour to make it "tougher" since mom wasn't going to make individual pasties. Instead, she made baking-sheet sized pasties and then cut them into 4 big slices, one slice per family member. Mom only made pasties once or twice a year because they were an all-day task to make, but there was enough for another meal the next day.
    Can I invite myself over to share in the feast? Renee's pasties look absolutely scrumptious and I'm sure there would room at the table for one more. If not, then enjoy one for me.

    I love your video. I live in Michigan and have been making pasties since I was a kid. My moms best friend was from the upper in Michigan. Her name was Donna. We made pasties with her a few times. After Donna passed away my mom and continued to make pasties. Usually in the fall. She would make the pastry, I would make the filling. My mom was diagnosed with cancer in 2002. When we went to make our pasties in the fall of 2004, mom was limited as to what she was physically able to do. So I had to make the pastry. I was scared to death. But my mom walked me through it. I think that was the best gift she could have given me.
    My husbands dad was born in copper harbor, Michigan. His dad migrated here from Germany, his mother came from Finland. Grandpa met grandma while working at Quincy Mine. Together they held many careers and occupations. The bought two homes next to each other in Calumet. One house was for boarders, the other house was for the family. Grandma cooked and cleaned for the boarders, who were primarily miners who worked in the copper mines. Hubs aunt Anne who is 96 years old and still doing great, told me that even in the winter they would hang their long underwear outside to dry. They would bring in these stiff, frozen long underwear in and would fold them.
    Thanks for the video. I really enjoyed it.

    My grandma always made delicious pasties. She sent me postcards from all over the world (though she didn’t have much money, she valued travelling). One year she gave us costume jewellery that my sister and I loved using for dress ups.
    I was unable to attend her funeral because we were overseas. I wanted to be home for her funeral but my parents pointed out that if she were alive she would’ve said, “don’t you dare!” and I could hear her kind but strong voice saying this.
    On the day of her funeral, my dad read a note I’d written for her, we bought costume jewellery for my daughter, sent a postcard to my family… and had pasties for lunch.
    I always think of her when I eat a pastie. 💗

    So much fun cooking together. Can’t wait to try these. Years ago I vacationed in Australia with a tour group. We made a brief stop at a bakery that only made hand pies. There must have been about 30 different choices. My husband and I got off the bus while my parents and grandparents stayed on. We brought back about a dozen different meat pies for us to share. One of my favs was a curried chicken pie. So many yummy choices.

    I inherited the job of continuing the family pasty making..I use much less swede but add pumpkin and parsley. My mother in law insisted salt was most important and would run her finger through the mixture and taste..It works!!! my family say I smoosh (mixing it all together) the mixture. Lamb mince also makes fantastic flavour. I have been known to make up to 100 if having a family gathering. A mincer is great for doing the vegys. I live in Australia from a Cornish background.

    What a wonderful video, you are so very lucky to have a relationship like you have with your mother in law. Pasties are common in Australia as we have the English history on how our country was started. When I have purchased at the bakery nearly always they have peas through the mix, as well as all the ingredients from your recipe, maybe the peas are an Aussie thing. I have also had corned beef and white sauce in pasties as well delicious. Now you ladies have shown us all how to make them, will definitely be making over our winter.

      Thus is absolutely NOTHING like a cornish pasty!! Have you actualky ever eaten one??? It's made with beef skirt or shin of beef, not bloody mince and some sausage!! The seasoning is black pepper plus salt. Some people now add an oxo cube, but that's not traditional. Also the pastry is WRONG. No way do you use wholemeal flour, or make a hot crust pastry, it's shortcrust only. If you tried making this savoury pie in Cornwall and say it was a Cornish pasty you'd get lynched!!!!

      @@Chelle-300 sorry Michelle if it came over a bit strong. I was just mad that they use wholemeal flour and the hot water crust. Hot water crusts are great, they're what encase pork pies (I'm strange I like either mustard or salad cream with them). But a proper pasty is nothing like this. They should just call it a pie, which is what it is. Nothing wrong with a great pie but please please call it what it is. Proper cornish pasties, particularly home made to an old recipe are far superior to this pie.

    Hello from a fellow Yooper! We started watching your channel a while ago and love all the resourcefulness! We love pasties up here very much! It is very commonly used for church and school fundraisers and we have multiple pasty shops in our town. Traditional pasties are typically eaten with ketchup, I believe those that love Downstate (Lower Peninsula) aka Trolls like to eat them with gravy. The crusts were typically were thrown away from the miners but to me is one of the best parts! Loved meeting your MIL and such a joy to watch :)
