Pasties

==Description==
===Ingredients===
*2 cups All-Purpose Flour
*2 cups Self Rising Flour
*1/2 teaspoon salt
*8 ounces Butter or Margarine, diced 
*1/2 cup cold water
Filling
*4 medium Potatoes, peeled
*1 medium Onion, peeled and diced finely
*1 beet, peeled
*1 Turnip, peeled
*2 Carrots, peeled
*1 small piece of Pumpkin or Squash
*1 pound premium grade ground Meat (Beef, Pork or Chicken
===Directions===
* Preheat oven to 350°F.
Pastry
* Sift both flours together. 
* Add salt and cut in diced butter or margarine. 
* Blend with fingertips until consistency of fine breadcrumbs. 
* Add cold water gradually, mixing in with your hand, until you have a soft dough. 
* Knead on a floured board gently, and cut into smaller portions for rolling.
Filling
* Grate potatoes, beet, turnip, carrots and pumpkin, and mix well together in a very large bowl with the chopped Onion. 
* Add minced meat, season with salt and pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg-mix well with your hands until all ingredients are well combined.
* Roll out one piece of the pastry to a fairly thin sheet. 
* Using a large cutter, or an upturned saucer, make the pastry shapes. 
* Peel away the pieces and put aside for use later. 
* Place about a tablespoon or so of the filling onto each circle, brush the edges of the pastry with a little milk, and bring one half over onto the other edge. 
* Press together either with a fork, or make a fancy edge with your fingers, and place onto a greased oven tray. 
* Continue until all the pastry and filling is used up. 
* Glaze the top of each pasty with a little beaten egg and water.
* Bake at 350°F for 30 - 40 minutes.
* Serve either hot or cold, with or without a wonderfully fruity sauce as an accompaniment.
