Ingredients

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 medium russet potatoes
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 medium carrots
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon milk

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.

Step 2

Cut the cold unsalted butter into cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, peel and dice the potatoes, carrots, and onion into small cubes, about 1/4-inch in size.

Step 5

In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes, carrots, onions, and ground beef. Season with salt and black pepper, and mix well.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 7

Divide the chilled dough into six equal pieces. Roll each piece into a circle about 8 inches in diameter on a lightly floured surface.

Step 8

Spoon an equal amount of the filling mixture onto one side of each circle, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edge.

Step 9

Fold the other side of the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges together tightly to seal, then crimp the edges with your fingers or a fork.

Step 10

Place the pasties on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 11

In a small bowl, whisk the egg and milk together to create an egg wash. Brush it over the surface of each pasty for a golden finish.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is cooked through.

Step 13

Allow the pasties to cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
