A tasty pastie for meat lover, lovely with tomato sauce.


Ingredients (makes 10 Pasties)

  • 900 grams Good blade, topside, round or rump meat
  • 4 Medium onions
  • 3 Medium potatoes
  • 7 tablespoons Dripping
  • 3 cups Plain flour
  • 2 cups Self raising flour
  • 11/2 cups Cold water
  • 1/2 Lemon juice (to whiten)

Method

  1. Preheat oven & set to 205 to 230 degrees celcius.
  2. Trim meat of all fat & sinew, cut into small cubes (approx 1/2 cm). Dice potatoes & onions to the same size as the meat. Be generous with salt & pepper & mix well. Prepare this well ahead of pastry.
  3. Mix pastry ingredients (flours & dripping) well with fingers until all fat is rubbed in evenly.
  4. Mix water with lemon juice & add to pastry ingredients, mix well with a knife & roll fairly thinly. Shape to size required (use a saucer). Seal & brush with egg.
  5. Bake in oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to moderate & bake for a further 15 minutes.

Notes

This is a recipe which came from the Enterprise Hotel in Charters Towers, Qld which was owned by our family many years ago.

  • Full points for making your own pastry, as home-made nearly always tastes so much better than bought. I’d love to try these pasties with sweet potato instead of regular potato, and maybe some peas or zucchini in the mix. And being me, with my love of garlic & chilli, I’d probably put a little of each in the filling too.
