Megan's Perfect Pasties

[meganjane]

So glad they worked for you Pam.

Trudy, they're just fantastic to pop in the guys lunchboxes. They're so sick of sandwiches.

I've added these to this week's menu plan. We love pasties.

Just had these for dinner, OMG, they were heavenly!  I tried to leave a comment on your blog, Megan, but it didn't work.

I didn't have any peas, so used a potato instead.  Will definitely make again

Thumbs up Megan. Made these today and they are very scrumptious. I made 8 quiet large Pasties (Big enough to feed 2. I'm adding these to my favorites folder to make regularly. Thanks Megan.

Thank you Megan for saving me.  I made these a couple of weekends ago and what we didn't eat I put in the freezer, and because I have been sick I grabbed these out of the freezer and straight into the oven. While they were heating I prepared some veggies and put them in the TM basket and varoma to steam. By the time the veggies were done the Pasties were ready to serve. Made it a quick and easy and delicious meal.
I will have to make some more just to have in the freezer for times like this.

I have 4 in the freezer too. DH took 1 to work thecday after i made them, reheated in the microwave and the pastry was still perfect just as good as when it came out the oven.

A great recipe,  thanks

Made these for dinner last night. Although I don't like bought pasties at all, I thought I would give them a try. Loved them. Really easy to make and I loved the flavour. Will definitely be making again.

Finally got around to making these today with slight changes.  Only used 1 onion (red), 1.5 carrots and because I like to have potato in my pasties, I added 380g potato which I blitzed separately for a few seconds/speed 5 then squished the liquid out before adding it to the other other vegies and meat.  I left the 2 Tblspns water out because of adding the potatoes. I was able to get 13 pasties but used bought flaky pastry sheets.  My only problem was with the pastry being too dark, OK for us but not a nice look for visitors.  I had to turn the temp down to 200^oC after 25 minutes and only cooked an additional 5 minutes on wire racks because I didn't want them any darker.
MJ, these are indeed the best pasties I've tasted since we used to get them in a country town here in South Australia whenever we were passing through (Barmera Bakery). Thank you so much for sharing your recipe with us and I apologise for taking so long to getting around to trying them.
