Beef Pasties for Adventurers!

Pasties are a great adventuring food. Easy to make, easy to pack and delicious as well. Take them camping, to an event, or enjoy at home. Recipe and important historical information below.

Medieval Pasties probably weren't often beef, and they didn't have potatoes, so feel free to substitute in more historically accurate options, if that is your desire, some examples are listed.
I'm using these ingredients because I enjoy them, and they fit into LOTR reenactment.

Ingredients: Yield 5-6 Pasties
.8 lbs Beef (could use venison, hare/rabbit, or pork)
1 Potato (could use turnips, parsnips or swedes/rutabagas)
1/2 Onion
2 cups of flour
1 cup of butter
salt and pepper
some water

Steps:
Mix together butter and flour, being careful that the butter not melt as you handle it. It should be of a crumbly consistency. Salt. Add small amounts of water and mix to bring the dough together. Let the dough rest in a cool place for about an hour.

Prepare the filling, cut, in a portion of 2 to 1, the potatoes and onions. Add a portion of beef in equal part to the potatoes. Add salt and pepper and mix. Let stand for the remaining time, until the dough is set.

Work the dough a bit. It should be a little stretchy, but not tough. Roll out portions of dough in the desired size, fill, and crimp the edges.

If desired, baste with butter, oil, and egg.

Bake at 350-400 degrees Fahrenheit and remove the pasties from their tray before they cool, or they will stick.

Wrap in cloth or wax paper for your journey or enjoy fresh (but cooled) out of the oven.
