👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
For the crust: Whisk together flour and salt in a large bowl. Cut in cold butter with a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Keep ingredients cold for a flaky crust. - 2
Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix. Divide the dough in half, flatten each half into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

For the filling: In a large bowl, combine beef, potatoes, carrots, and onion. Add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Season generously, as the crust will absorb some flavor. - 4
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 5
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut out 8-inch circles (about 6 per disk). Repeat with the second disk of dough.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Use a large bowl or plate as a guide for cutting circles. - 6
Place a portion of the filling onto one half of each dough circle, leaving a border. Moisten the edges of the dough with water.
- 7
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Crimp the edges firmly to seal. You can crimp them decoratively or simply press with a fork.
💡 Consigli Professionali: A good seal prevents the filling from leaking during baking. - 8
Place the pasties on the prepared baking sheet. Cut a small slit in the top of each pasty to allow steam to escape. Brush the tops with the beaten egg wash.

Bake for 20 minutes at 400°F (200°C), then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for another 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is tender.

Let the pasties cool slightly before serving. They are delicious served warm.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Pasties are also excellent reheated the next day.
💡 Consigli Professionali
- ✓For a richer crust, you can add an egg yolk to the dough.
