Cousin Jack Pasties, according to L. Reimann

From Lewis Reimann's book, Between the Iron and the Pine.

Ingredients:
• 3 cups flour
• 1 cup suet, ground fine
• 1/4 cup lard
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 6-7 Tablespoons cold water
• 1 pound diced or cubed beef
• 1/2 pound diced or cubed pork
• potatoes
• turnips
• onions
• butter

To Make:

Blend lard into flour. Add suet, then cold water.

Roll dough out. Add half inch layer of finely chipped potatoes seasoned with salt and pepper. Then a thin layer of sliced turnips, then a very fine layer of chopped onion. Cover this with part of the beef and pork mixture, season again, adding parsley. Fold dough over, crimp edges. Slit top, put on a greased cookie sheet, and bake at 400 degrees F for 1 hour.

Copied more or less verbatim from the above mentioned book, published by Avery Color Studios, Marquette, Michigan.

There you have it, two variations with which you may experiment. Have fun, don't fret, and if you have any questions, ask your mom.
