They keep warm rather long wrapped in a towel. Some housewives would stuff one end with a savory filling, and the other with a sweet one. That way you could have your dessert with your dinner! For a true coal miner meal experience, be sure to roughly chop the potatoes. Recipe by Kevin Ryan Updated on July 14, 2022 Save Saved!

Quickly rub lard into flour with your fingertips until it resembles small peas. Pour in ice water and form into a ball. Add more water if it feels too dry. Divide dough into 6 balls; wrap in plastic and chill for one hour. In a bowl, combine steak, turnips, potatoes, onions, remaining 1 tablespoon salt, and pepper. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Roll out one ball of dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Using a cake pan, trace a 9-inch circle in dough; cut out the circle. Place about 1 1/2 cups of steak mixture into middle of the circle. Fold edges of the circle up to meet along the top of filling; crimp dough along the top to seal. Repeat until dough is used up. Use a spatula to transfer pasties to an ungreased baking sheet. Bake pasties in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until golden. Serve hot or at room temperature.
