Cheese Pasties
Here is a vegetarian version of the traditional cornish miners turnover. haven't tried it yet, but posting for the zaar world tour 2005. This recipe is from moosewood.
Steps
To make crust: combine salt and flour.
Cut butter into flour with fingers until it resembles coarse corn meal.
Sprinkle on cold water and stir until dough sticks together.
Form dough into a ball and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes.
Do not over-chill !.
To make filling: mix together the filling ingredients in a large bowl.
Preheat oven to 375f.
Cut the ball of dough into 6 pieces.
Roll out each piece about 1 / 8 inch thick and cut a 9 inch circle out of each piece.
Put 1 / 6 of the filling in the middle of each pastry circle.
Pull one edge over the filling to make a half-circle.
Seal the edges together like a turnover.
Turn the edges over and press with a fork to double-seal.
Cut slits in the top of the pasties so that steam can escape.
Bake for 15 minutes , then reduce heat to 350 f and bake for another 15-20 minutes until lightly golden.
Remove from oven , and allow the pasties rest for 5 minutes before serving.
