[ringo64]

i have just been eating alot of these so i thought that i would share it.
my miner ancestors used to carry these in their lunch boxes.  
pie doe
meat (venison, bison, pheasant, wild turkey, goose, or any other game) cubed
potatoes, carrots, oniions, garlic, other veggies
butter
flour
spices...i use black pepper, cajun spice, and oregano
white wine
milk
i saute the veggies and meat in butter while i make the dough
add some flour and then then the white wine...let it reduce a little
add milk, remove from heat and cool a bit
add to pie shells and cover and then bake at about 415 for about 23 or so minutes.
i don't really follow recipes, so this is just a guideline, but boy are they good....

Following recipes is like charting out exactly where you are going hunting. Sometimes it's better to let the wind and spirit of the woods take you there.

Thanks for sharing the pie,

Sounds like a pastie, a meat and veggie combination baked in a pie dough envelope.

INGREDIENTS
2 1/8 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup butter, diced
1/2 cup water
1 1/4 pounds rump roast, cubed
1 onion, chopped
2 potatoes, peeled and diced
2 small carrots
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons milk

DIRECTIONS
In a small saucepan, cover carrots with water. Bring water to a boil and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Let cool and slice. Sift flour, salt, and baking powder together in a bowl. Add butter, and rub to the consistency of coarse crumbs. Mix in water. If dough is sticky, add more flour.

Roll dough out until about 1/4 inch thick. Cut out six circles, each about 5 inches round. Do not stretch the dough.

Mix meat and vegetables together, and salt and pepper to taste. Cover half of each pasty base with the filling. Moisten pastry edges, fold pastry over the filling. Press edges together with a fork. Transfer raw pasties to a baking sheet, brush tops with milk, and make a small slit in each top to allow steam out.

Bake at 450 degrees F ( 230 degrees C) for 10 minutes. Turn oven down to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and bake for 35 minutes.
