Gayle Lewis of Yucaipa, California relates, "Years ago, when bakeries in my Midwestern hometown made pasties, people scrambled to get there before they were all gone. Now I make my own...filled with meat, potatoes and vegetables." This is definately a lazy saturday cook-and-make-everyone-happy meal

Instructions for Cornish Pasties

1. In a bowl, combine round steak, potatoes, carrots, onion, parsley, salt and pepper; mix well. Add butter and toss to coat; set aside.

3. Divide dough into fourths. Roll out one portion into a 9-inch circle; transfer to a greased baking sheet. Mound about 1-1/4 cups of meat filling on half of circle.
4. Moisten edges with water; fold dough over mixture and press edges with fork to seal. Repeat with remaining pastry and filling.
5. Cut slits in top of each pasty. Brush with beaten egg if desired. Bake at 375 degrees F. for 50 to 60 minutes or until golden brown.
