Born and raised in Michigan lower peninsula. Dad used to take us once in a while way up north to buy real pasties. I remember how incredibly excited we were to take that 4+ hour trip. I am so excited to view a real Michigander show her recipe and process for making these precious gems of food, that I am going now to get the groceries to make my own finally after 35 years of dreaming about them. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
I made these yesterday, great as I remember, I am from detroit, we use to go north to my grandmas, and eat pasties on the way up! Been thirty years, Everyone loved them. Can't wait to make them again!!!
This video was shot over 15 years ago and grandma died about 5 years back now - I'm so glad to have things like this to show my daughters as they get older.
Its so weird being someone from cornwall watching a pasty being made 1000s of miles away XD Its good to know that the food that is literally everywhere you go in cornwall is such a worldwide legacy ;D
I'm so glad I found this video. I am from NY and I'm married to a Yooper and we live in da U.P. eh ! But, my pasties always lacked something. Now I know ! It's that little pat of butter ! Who knew !!! Thank You for posting this video for us transplants :) Living and Loving in the Pastie captial of the world ! B. R.
I spent the day yesterday with Jeff Kilponen who encouraged me to watch this video. Tonight we are enjoying this recipe at home in Cedarville, MI. Thank you.
I'm a Yooper and my wife is from Illinois. After she watched this, she's going to attempt to make pasties for the first time using this recipe. Wish her luck!
Thank you SO MUCH!! I have watched every Pasty blog on here but YOU'RE telling about the dough made it clear to me. FINALLY. Lol. I made dough night before last. If I had known that I could finally make a pie dough that was eatable I sure would've been making MANY pies!! I also don't understand pounds and liters and measurement like that!! So THANK YOU again.
Thank you for taking the time to make the video. Having lived most of my life in and near Chicago, I can say that no self-respecting Chicagoan would put ketchup/catsup on a hot dog. We might disagree on baseball and politics (and even whether that tomato/vinegar/corn syrup slurry should be called ketchup or catsup), but ketchup (by any name) on a hot dog is sacrilegious. Knowing that, I understand the horror (even if I cannot feel the depth of it due to more centuries of tradition) of a Cornishman or a Cornishwoman who sees pasties being made in this way. The Cornish pasty has so many impassioned proponents, I know that a properly made one *must* be good. Never having had a pasty in my over 60 years and having little chance of ever seeing the lovely shores of Cornwall, I am going to try, _today_ to make pasties as faithful to the traditional Cornish recipe (as nearly as I can determine it to be) as I am capable. I've surfed the web and read recipes and histories and watched videos for many hours over the past few days. I've even received some personal, in-depth advice from a Cornishman who takes obvious pleasure and pride in this food. Unfortunately, I don't have the advantage of genuine Cornish ingredients. Nor do I have the experience of having tasted a properly made Cornish pasty. Having Cornwall surrounding me would *definitely* be nice, too. (Setting, sometimes, is everything.) Disadvantages notwithstanding, I'm going to make my own pastry (using lard and either margarine or butter (I still can't determine which is more "original," but it seems more old recipes call for margarine) and add rutabaga (swede), potato, onion, beef, salt, and pepper -- and hope I get the seasoning right! (I picked up some finely diced beef at the grocer this time. Next time, I will get skirt and slice it myself.) I'm tempted to try parsley, too, but that seems to be a more recent development, so I'll hold off on that until next time. As for the CRIMP, well, much as a new Chicagoan must decide if he wants to cheer on the White Sox or the Cubs (I'm really tempted to have fun with this, but I'll leave that for another time), I suppose they should experience both ballparks before deciding. In a similar spirit, I'll crimp some pasties both ways and see which side of the divide I land upon. :-) According to the Oxford Dictionary (which might not have been edited by a Cornishman), *pasty* is "A folded pastry case with a savoury filling, typically of seasoned meat and vegetables." *turnover* is "A small pie made by folding a piece of pastry over on itself to enclose a sweet filling." So, in the most general sense, a pasty is a turnover with a savory, rather than sweet, filling. That leaves quite a bit open to interpretation. So, much as I love my sons, even though they slid into the abyss of ketchup-laced hot dogs, I hope no one will think any less of those who find comfort in pasties that don't live up to Cornish standards. Feel sorry for their missing out on a higher level of savory enjoyment, if you will -- but at least be satisfied in knowing they still find enjoyment in a less-than-perfect dish. Cheers.
Grandma Liz we love your video on Pasties!!! You are so beautiful and cool! I hope your husband does the dishes! We love Pasties! Now we make them thanks to you!!
God this reminds me of my grandma too, great video!!! Funny how she made grandpa come in to turn the grinder cause he was too cheap to buy her one. Haaaa. Miss those old ways. Thanks for sharing.
I had to laugh, when someone from the UP says it's really cold out there, that usually means it's -20F something below (-30C). Thats when you go out to your car in the mornigh and the seat doesn't sink down at all when you sit on it, it feels like a cold, hard wooden bench seat.
Great video, but don;t make any more pasties until he buys you a food processor....watch how fast he buys you one... you deserve one, after all the meals you have made that man....just love you.....and you pastie recipe........
I doubt Liz would have ever used it. My Mom and all my Aunties, including Liz here in the video were old school Finlanders and did it the old fashioned way. Not just a recipe, but a way of life that is quickly fading away. That entire generation is gone in the Kilponen family...all 11 brothers and sisters and their wonderful spouses, and now it's up to us 46 first cousins to keep the traditions and memories alive.
haha! bullshit! sounds like Cornish Envy there!! the Devon pasty is a joke just like their flag haha. and your meant to use beef skirt not mince. shes just making a savoury tart B)
Glad you liked it. We had fun making it and she would be amazed at how many people have watched her little cooking lesson (it was originally intended as a gift for my extended family long before UA-cam came on the scene.)
I grew up on pasties! Always eaten with some ketchup (my gramma preferred gravy) and a glass of cold milk. My grandparents are from Ironwood, MI, and we spent many a summer eating homemade pasties by Lake Superior.
My mom's family were from Upson, WI...remember every summer as a kid we drove from Seattle to see family in Madison and Upson and the fantastic pasties in Ironwood, MI always we had them with catsup ! Corie
My maternal grandparents were from Ironwood too! I spent summers there as a kid and went to big family reunions out at lake Superior. That was a few lifetimes ago, though.
Samuel Brown hi ! I’m from WISCONSIN & I remember when I had just turned 18 & got married my husband (now ex ) took me fishing 🎣 on our honeymoon to the PRESQUILE FLOWAGE (not sure of spelling ) waaaay up in Ironwwod .. we caught huge Perch fish 🐠 there .. Later he took me to a Little resturaunt where we had PASTIES ... OMG!! They were so tasty -that was 1972 or 74 ? I’m 65 now & have not had pasties since ... Love Michigan ! God Bless ! 5-5-2020
I'm a Finn. My Grandma Kolehmainen and my mom Eila made pasties and now I make them. I am Finn and Polish. Love them and so does my family! Make mine with hamburger. They're wonderful! Cindy
Is the meat seasoned? I tried it for the first time today & did not care for it. Looked good but lacked flavor & seasoning. I’m 🇪🇨🇨🇴 though so I’m used to flavored food. My husband 🏴🇳🇱🇨🇭 said he was able to get it down with some sauce.
What a wonderful video, thank you for sharing, your grandma was a very expert cook, you can see that she loved making nice food for her family and enjoyed having lots of people around the table. bless her and grandpa too Take care and best wishes from the UK
Thank you! I was truly blessed to have such wonderful grandparents (and for such a large part of my life.) This video (and a few others we did) will be one of the ways I can share their story with my daughters.
I am glad you enjoyed it. I did shoot one other cooking video with my grandparents which I still haven't gotten around to editing. As soon as it's finished it will get uploaded for sure.
For anyone who wants to see how to make a near perfect basic pie crust, this is fabulous. Love the close up of the finished pastry dough. So many people don't understand what they are looking for. (Love these guys too. What a hoot.)
What a beautiful couple! Thank You Grandma Liz for Sharing how to make Pasties. Now I'm going to give it a try. You remind me of my wonderful grandmothers the way you cook. My grandmother use to make us Suet Pudding for our birthday dinner. She has dunces passed and my children never got to try this family favorite. Wish I could have made a video of her making Suet Pudding for everyone to see,people always would say that sounds Gross! But it was really good! God Bless You and Your Husband!
I'm very glad you liked it. My grandparents were wonderful people and I have many wonderful memories of them - and a couple really great videos like this one.
My grandmother passed away before she could teach me how to make pasties and this video is the perfect solution to the loss of this dish in my life. I am about to have surgery and wanted to have these as a quick solution frozen recovery meal and this video is exactly step-by-step how I watched my grandmother make these!!! Thank you for having this on the web. It’s exactly like having my grandmother show me and be in her kitchen again! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I love your sweet voice and your caring heart with your muscle husband. What a beautiful sweet couple, bless your heart, I wish I reach the beautiful ages you have. Thank you for sharing . Love from New Zealand. 💖💐🦋🇳🇿
Grandma Liz rocks!!!! She reminds me of all the wonderful women of the Iron Range of Minnesota who made pasties when I was growing up. Will try to make them on Sunday with the help of my daughter.
I was just thinking while watching this, how wonderful would it have been to have a cooking video of my grandparents. So precious! Made me miss my grandparents so much watching this 😭
In my 60's now but the highlights of my youthful summers in Ishpeming with my aunt and uncle in the 50's and 60's definitely included pasties. Thanks so much for the detailed recipe.
You gotta have the Time & especially, patience of a SAINT to make these pasties ! How about you make them & we drive to your house 🏡 & buy them from you !? 😆 They look soooo tasty tho ... Hey Hubby , buy your wonderful hard working wife a processor ‼️ You do look cute working together, tho & Hubby looks so grateful . Thank you so much 😊‼️I’m gonna rest now I’m tired just watching you ... What a lovely wife .. 💐💐💐💐💐💝 5/5/2020
I love this video! I'm from Manitowish Waters, Wisconsin, and I ate LOTS of pasties in the UP. I've lived on Maui for 36 years... but I still make pasties!
Suet...That's the old school secret. I was raised in Kingsford; when you walked into a Pasty shop that smell that was so great was because Suet was used as the only oil, but don't tell anyone.
My grandmother always made pasties. She got tired of making individual ones and would make it more like a big pie which I though was just as good and less time consuming for her. I miss her
Thanks. Papa tended to save the beers for conditioning his hair. He lived to be 92 and had a full head of silvery hair right to the end! I remember him going out into the yard of our farm when I was a kid and pouring a can over his head - Red, White, and Blue if I remember correctly (although it could have been a Budweiser too.) Maybe I should start rinsing my hair with beer!
My mother was born in the U.P. (we're Finnish, too), and she used to rinse her hair with beer after she washed it when i was a kid. Kind of expensive, but her hair was beautiful. Maybe i should try it! i've watched this video many times since 2012 and use it for my guide whenever i make pasties. i just found out today that Grandma Liz is gone and was already gone well before the video was posted, and it brought a tear to my eye. R.I.P.
I just LOVE this video! She could well be nearly any of my aunties who live in the U.P. of Michigan. She's a classic! LOVE pasties! It's pasty day in my house today. Oh, the lovely smell of the baking pasties! Nothing like it.
Great video! How cute is she? I live pasties and I can't wait to try this recipe. She made it look very easy! And she didn't leave out anything. Some gals will "forget" an ingredient because most have a secret family recipe. Thanks for letting us into your kitchen!
Papa was her food processor ;) Actually, she had one at the time we made the video, but I asked her to bring the grinder because all of my relatives remember her making them that way.
After searching for a Pasty recipe this was the most charming one of them all! May your grandparents rest in peace, yet let this video allow them to live on for the rest of the world to see and enjoy. Thank you sir, and I hope you post the other recipe on You Tube that you guys shot.
Lovely video, I always like to collect interesting recipes from all over the world. Greetings to Grandma Liz from a western NY girl living in Cairo, Egypt...
Grandma was awesome. I was lucky to spend so much time with my grandparents and they indulged me when I wanted to do things like this (I think we shot this in 1997 or 1998.) If she were still with us, I think she'd be blown away at how many people have watched our little video project.
I’m from butte Montana I’m making beef 🥩 pasteys tonight I use sirloin, I never use rutabaga, I moved to Texas and the temperature here is hot so I have to climate my kitchen to roll my crust out.
Excellent instructions with recipe attached. My Yooper friend would never share her “family” recipe but now there is You Tube featuring Grandma Liz and her helper and taster (hubby) sharing her pastie recipe. Pastie challenge is on. Thank you Liz -
NOW THIS LADY KNOWS HOW TO COOK SOME OF THESE INTERNET CHEFS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND I AM GOING TO MAKE THESE I HAVE LOOKED AT ABOUT 50 VIDEOS ON THIS SUBJECT THE PASTIES AND THIS IS THE BEST
Interesting story. They sounded American to me. Are they still with us, or have they passed on? I always liked them with gravy, or just ketchup if they went to work.
It seems like most of the people who learned to make them shared the recipe the same way. Heat one up in the morning, wrap it in newspaper, and put it in your lunch pail and you had a nice hot lunch down in the mine.
Many years ago my family learned the recipe from the immigrants they met working in the mines of northern Michigan. Having grown up eating the pasties made by my mother and grandmother, I am grateful to the people of Cornwall for sharing the recipe!
2019, I'm a little late to your show, but I wanted to share a few things with you. I grew up in Michigan where pasties where available everywhere. I moved to a part of the country that doesn't even know what I'm talkin about! So, very happy to see this video. Also, if you do a little searching on the web, you will find that most of the cholesterol scare, especially animal fats, was never based on any science at all. It made a great story and everybody ran with it. Including doctors. In the last 5 to 10 years, researchers have found just the opposite to be true. There is no better fat for you than lard. I know it sounds crazy, but it's true. And Crisco is actually one of the worst fats you can get. What we know about trans fats is actually based on science. And Chrisco is mostly trans fat. Very deadly stuff! I'm up in years like you and your husband, so it might be too late for us. However, you are teaching people, and more than likely your children and grandchildren. For their sake, you could look into this and see what I'm talking about?
I believe we shot this in November of 1998 using my grandfather's hi8 camcorder and a couple reflector lamps from the hardware store. I used a dryer sheet as diffusion on the lights, so the kitchen smelled like fabric softener once the bulbs warmed up.
Thank you so much for sharing Grandma Liz's recipe. Her recipe and technique is the real deal. I wonder how many pasty's Grandma Liz has made? I bet thousands.
Born and raised in Michigan lower peninsula. Dad used to take us once in a while way up north to buy real pasties. I remember how incredibly excited we were to take that 4+ hour trip. I am so excited to view a real Michigander show her recipe and process for making these precious gems of food, that I am going now to get the groceries to make my own finally after 35 years of dreaming about them. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
This is amazing :) I live in Cornwall and seeing this is lovely, how the recipie is used across the world :)
I made these yesterday, great as I remember, I am from detroit, we use to go north to my grandmas, and eat pasties on the way up! Been thirty years, Everyone loved them. Can't wait to make them again!!!
Glad you liked it. I was lucky to have grandparents willing to do projects like this with me.
This video was shot over 15 years ago and grandma died about 5 years back now - I'm so glad to have things like this to show my daughters as they get older.
I made Grandma Liz's pasties today, so pleased with them.
Its so weird being someone from cornwall watching a pasty being made 1000s of miles away XD Its good to know that the food that is literally everywhere you go in cornwall is such a worldwide legacy ;D
I'm so glad I found this video. I am from NY and I'm married to a Yooper and we live in da U.P. eh ! But, my pasties always lacked something. Now I know ! It's that little pat of butter ! Who knew !!! Thank You for posting this video for us transplants :)
Living and Loving in the Pastie captial of the world !
B. R.
The Pasty capital of the world is Cornwall UK where they originated.
I spent the day yesterday with Jeff Kilponen who encouraged me to watch this video. Tonight we are enjoying this recipe at home in Cedarville, MI.
Thank you.
You two are just so precious, thank you so much for sharing from your kitchen to ours.😉❤️😎
I'm a Yooper and my wife is from Illinois. After she watched this, she's going to attempt to make pasties for the first time using this recipe. Wish her luck!
Thank you SO MUCH!! I have watched every Pasty blog on here but YOU'RE telling about the dough made it clear to me. FINALLY. Lol. I made dough night before last. If I had known that I could finally make a pie dough that was eatable I sure would've been making MANY pies!! I also don't understand pounds and liters and measurement like that!! So THANK YOU again.
Thank you for taking the time to make the video.
Having lived most of my life in and near Chicago, I can say that no self-respecting Chicagoan would put ketchup/catsup on a hot dog. We might disagree on baseball and politics (and even whether that tomato/vinegar/corn syrup slurry should be called ketchup or catsup), but ketchup (by any name) on a hot dog is sacrilegious. Knowing that, I understand the horror (even if I cannot feel the depth of it due to more centuries of tradition) of a Cornishman or a Cornishwoman who sees pasties being made in this way.
The Cornish pasty has so many impassioned proponents, I know that a properly made one *must* be good. Never having had a pasty in my over 60 years and having little chance of ever seeing the lovely shores of Cornwall, I am going to try, _today_ to make pasties as faithful to the traditional Cornish recipe (as nearly as I can determine it to be) as I am capable. I've surfed the web and read recipes and histories and watched videos for many hours over the past few days. I've even received some personal, in-depth advice from a Cornishman who takes obvious pleasure and pride in this food. Unfortunately, I don't have the advantage of genuine Cornish ingredients. Nor do I have the experience of having tasted a properly made Cornish pasty. Having Cornwall surrounding me would *definitely* be nice, too. (Setting, sometimes, is everything.) Disadvantages notwithstanding, I'm going to make my own pastry (using lard and either margarine or butter (I still can't determine which is more "original," but it seems more old recipes call for margarine) and add rutabaga (swede), potato, onion, beef, salt, and pepper -- and hope I get the seasoning right! (I picked up some finely diced beef at the grocer this time. Next time, I will get skirt and slice it myself.) I'm tempted to try parsley, too, but that seems to be a more recent development, so I'll hold off on that until next time.
As for the CRIMP, well, much as a new Chicagoan must decide if he wants to cheer on the White Sox or the Cubs (I'm really tempted to have fun with this, but I'll leave that for another time), I suppose they should experience both ballparks before deciding. In a similar spirit, I'll crimp some pasties both ways and see which side of the divide I land upon. :-)
According to the Oxford Dictionary (which might not have been edited by a Cornishman),
*pasty* is "A folded pastry case with a savoury filling, typically of seasoned meat and vegetables."
*turnover* is "A small pie made by folding a piece of pastry over on itself to enclose a sweet filling."
So, in the most general sense, a pasty is a turnover with a savory, rather than sweet, filling. That leaves quite a bit open to interpretation. So, much as I love my sons, even though they slid into the abyss of ketchup-laced hot dogs, I hope no one will think any less of those who find comfort in pasties that don't live up to Cornish standards. Feel sorry for their missing out on a higher level of savory enjoyment, if you will -- but at least be satisfied in knowing they still find enjoyment in a less-than-perfect dish.
Cheers.
omg! how friggin cute is this couple!! Can't wait to try this recipe!
Thank you...we are making some tonight!!
Grandma Liz we love your video on Pasties!!! You are so beautiful and cool! I hope your husband does the dishes! We love Pasties! Now we make them thanks to you!!
You two are so cute and the video is very helpful. Going to make these when we're at our cottage up in Mullet Lake as soon as the weather turns cold!
Awesome! Thank you so much! I will try these soon! Great Video!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. My boyfriend has dubbed me an honorary Michigander because I was able to make these. I'm from Minnesota 😄
That's high praise from where I come from! Congratulations.
God this reminds me of my grandma too, great video!!! Funny how she made grandpa come in to turn the grinder cause he was too cheap to buy her one. Haaaa. Miss those old ways. Thanks for sharing.
This is amazing. Hahahaha. Just had dobbers ordered to Vermont. Same snow. Same cold. New wood stove. Same pasty.
This is a great video! I love Grandma Liz! I wish there were more videos!
I can't wait to try it!
Thanks for posting, I had these authentic style while visiting the UP.
I had to laugh, when someone from the UP says it's really cold out there, that usually means it's -20F something below (-30C). Thats when you go out to your car in the mornigh and the seat doesn't sink down at all when you sit on it, it feels like a cold, hard wooden bench seat.
I'm going to try it.
That's beautiful!! Going to try them.
Pretty cool.
Great video, but don;t make any more pasties until he buys you a food processor....watch how fast he buys you one... you deserve one, after all the meals you have made that man....just love you.....and you pastie recipe........
I doubt Liz would have ever used it. My Mom and all my Aunties, including Liz here in the video were old school Finlanders and did it the old fashioned way. Not just a recipe, but a way of life that is quickly fading away. That entire generation is gone in the Kilponen family...all 11 brothers and sisters and their wonderful spouses, and now it's up to us 46 first cousins to keep the traditions and memories alive.
Gotta love her husbands sleeve pull fail.
NICE WORK,,,,,,MY FRIEND,,,
No probs, by the way what did u mean by that she is not available?
you need to switch the light on
Oh my...I made a grandparents casserolle ...that this is bettter. Shame on me!
That Grandma RULES!!
Tuo Mummi voittaa kaikki! Mummeista parhain!
In respond to Samuel Brown my parents from up
Its so cold in the D!
how da f**k do we sposed to keep da peace?
The first thing you do is to wash your hands..
Americans can't make pasty's!!!! MADNESS!!!!
Said the man who offers nothing. Show us how it is done, ace.
Any one can make a pasty. Us in Devon invented them, they Cornish folk stole them, but anyone who can follow a recipe can make one.
haha! bullshit! sounds like Cornish Envy there!! the Devon pasty is a joke just like their flag haha. and your meant to use beef skirt not mince. shes just making a savoury tart B)
here you go! the proper knowledge!
There are many American Cornish. There are fools here in the U.P. of Michigan USA that think pasties came from Finland. They aren't too bright.
I watched other videos and read other pastie recipes; Liz’s instructions seemed to be the easiest and I like the size pastie she makes.
Glad you liked it. We had fun making it and she would be amazed at how many people have watched her little cooking lesson (it was originally intended as a gift for my extended family long before UA-cam came on the scene.)
I grew up on pasties! Always eaten with some ketchup (my gramma preferred gravy) and a glass of cold milk. My grandparents are from Ironwood, MI, and we spent many a summer eating homemade pasties by Lake Superior.

What a beautiful couple! Thank You Grandma Liz for Sharing how to make Pasties. Now I'm going to give it a try. You remind me of my wonderful grandmothers the way you cook. My grandmother use to make us Suet Pudding for our birthday dinner. She has dunces passed and my children never got to try this family favorite. Wish I could have made a video of her making Suet Pudding for everyone to see,people always would say that sounds Gross! But it was really good! God Bless You and Your Husband!
I'm very glad you liked it. My grandparents were wonderful people and I have many wonderful memories of them - and a couple really great videos like this one.
What a sweetheart. The best video ever she is a true pro.
My grandmother passed away before she could teach me how to make pasties and this video is the perfect solution to the loss of this dish in my life. I am about to have surgery and wanted to have these as a quick solution frozen recovery meal and this video is exactly step-by-step how I watched my grandmother make these!!!

she is so sweet! I love this video! I am going to try to make some!
Grandma Liz rocks!!!! She reminds me of all the wonderful women of the Iron Range of Minnesota who made pasties when I was growing up. Will try to make them on Sunday with the help of my daughter.
I was just thinking while watching this, how wonderful would it have been to have a cooking video of my grandparents. So precious! Made me miss my grandparents so much watching this 😭
My Grammy Keto used to make pasties for us all the time. I never learned how to make them before she passed away. Thank you for this.
In my 60's now but the highlights of my youthful summers in Ishpeming with my aunt and uncle in the 50's and 60's definitely included pasties. Thanks so much for the detailed recipe.
I like cooking with Grandma Liz! If you made a show, I'd subscribe to it.
I don't know anyone that could turn down a pasty! I like the video down-to-earth and to the point. Nice humor too, seem like real nice folks.
You gotta have the Time & especially, patience of a SAINT to make these pasties !
How about you make them & we drive to your house 🏡 & buy them from you !? 😆
They look soooo tasty tho ...
Hey Hubby , buy your wonderful hard working wife a processor ‼️ You do look cute working together, tho & Hubby looks so grateful .
Thank you so much 😊‼️I’m gonna rest now I’m tired just watching you ... What a lovely wife .. 💐💐💐💐💐💝

I love this video! I'm from Manitowish Waters, Wisconsin, and I ate LOTS of pasties in the UP. I've lived on Maui for 36 years... but I still make pasties!
There are several ways to make pastys.This is her version and I thought she did a great job. Thanks for the video.
That is some real down home comfort cooking. Stick to your ribs goodness. Thank you for sharing your kitchen. I will be making this tonight.
Suet...That's the old school secret. I was raised in Kingsford; when you walked into a Pasty shop that smell that was so great was because Suet was used as the only oil, but don't tell anyone.
My grandmother always made pasties. She got tired of making individual ones and would make it more like a big pie which I though was just as good and less time consuming for her. I miss her
This took me back to my grandmothers kitchen when she would make pasties for me growing up in Michigan. I’m going to go make some pasties now.
Thanks. Papa tended to save the beers for conditioning his hair. He lived to be 92 and had a full head of silvery hair right to the end!
I remember him going out into the yard of our farm when I was a kid and pouring a can over his head - Red, White, and Blue if I remember correctly (although it could have been a Budweiser too.)
Maybe I should start rinsing my hair with beer!
My mother was born in the U.P. (we're Finnish, too), and she used to rinse her hair with beer after she washed it when i was a kid. Kind of expensive, but her hair was beautiful. Maybe i should try it! i've watched this video many times since 2012 and use it for my guide whenever i make pasties. i just found out today that Grandma Liz is gone and was already gone well before the video was posted, and it brought a tear to my eye. R.I.P.
Wonderful video ! Made me think of my summers spent in Bete Gris MI eating pasties.
Thank you very much! Off I go to make my first Pasties!
Great video
I just LOVE this video! She could well be nearly any of my aunties who live in the U.P. of Michigan. She's a classic! LOVE pasties! It's pasty day in my house today. Oh, the lovely smell of the baking pasties! Nothing like it.
Great video! How cute is she? I live pasties and I can't wait to try this recipe. She made it look very easy! And she didn't leave out anything. Some gals will "forget" an ingredient because most have a secret family recipe. Thanks for letting us into your kitchen!
Papa was her food processor ;) Actually, she had one at the time we made the video, but I asked her to bring the grinder because all of my relatives remember her making them that way.
After searching for a Pasty recipe this was the most charming one of them all! May your grandparents rest in peace, yet let this video allow them to live on for the rest of the world to see and enjoy. Thank you sir, and I hope you post the other recipe on You Tube that you guys shot.
How cute are those two! Loved the video, thank you very much for making it and sharing...
Lovely video, I always like to collect interesting recipes from all over the world. Greetings to Grandma Liz from a western NY girl living in Cairo, Egypt...
aww bless her , how can people press thumbs down, some people need to get a heart .
Grandma was awesome. I was lucky to spend so much time with my grandparents and they indulged me when I wanted to do things like this (I think we shot this in 1997 or 1998.) If she were still with us, I think she'd be blown away at how many people have watched our little video project.
Btw loved the video, and I'm making these tonight=D
Mine turned out great thank you
I’m from butte Montana I’m making beef 🥩 pasteys tonight I use sirloin, I never use rutabaga, I moved to Texas and the temperature here is hot so I have to climate my kitchen to roll my crust out.
My mom was from Butte, too. She brought her recipe to New Jersey, and I still use it today in PA. "A taste of home!"
So sweet💕 Thank you , I hope I can do as well.
Thanks for a good video on making pasties. Having grown up in the UP, your video brought back pleasant memories.
Excellent instructions with recipe attached. My Yooper friend would never share her “family” recipe but now there is You Tube featuring Grandma Liz and her helper and taster (hubby) sharing her pastie recipe. Pastie challenge is on. Thank you Liz -
NOW THIS LADY KNOWS HOW TO COOK SOME OF THESE INTERNET CHEFS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND I AM GOING TO MAKE THESE I HAVE LOOKED AT ABOUT 50 VIDEOS ON THIS SUBJECT THE PASTIES AND THIS IS THE BEST
SHE IS GOOD AT IT
That's my aunt Liz! She was special. Her laugh! Her stories! One of a kind for sure. Cannot forget Uncle Rudy at the end. Good old Finns.♥️!
Interesting story. They sounded American to me. Are they still with us, or have they passed on? I always liked them with gravy, or just ketchup if they went to work.
@@christopherw4527 The video was shot around 1998. Liz passed away in 2007, about 1 year after her husband died. Finnish blood, baby!
You keep forgetting to switch the light on!
I found this video many years ago. Her recipe is the best. Thank you Grandma Liz for helping so many people. ❤ make pasty’s.
It seems like most of the people who learned to make them shared the recipe the same way. Heat one up in the morning, wrap it in newspaper, and put it in your lunch pail and you had a nice hot lunch down in the mine.
I can't wait to try this recipe ...look great...awesome video
Now, that's my grandma you're talking about!
Love this♥️♥️😇🙏. Pasties look delicious and very traditional!!😃
She is precious!
I hafta have some Pasties soon.
Thank you Liz :)
Liz was a farm girl from the Ironwood/Hurley area. Great to have another yooper checking in!
Many years ago my family learned the recipe from the immigrants they met working in the mines of northern Michigan. Having grown up eating the pasties made by my mother and grandmother, I am grateful to the people of Cornwall for sharing the recipe!
2019, I'm a little late to your show, but I wanted to share a few things with you. I grew up in Michigan where pasties where available everywhere. I moved to a part of the country that doesn't even know what I'm talkin about! So, very happy to see this video. Also, if you do a little searching on the web, you will find that most of the cholesterol scare, especially animal fats, was never based on any science at all. It made a great story and everybody ran with it. Including doctors. In the last 5 to 10 years, researchers have found just the opposite to be true. There is no better fat for you than lard. I know it sounds crazy, but it's true. And Crisco is actually one of the worst fats you can get. What we know about trans fats is actually based on science. And Chrisco is mostly trans fat. Very deadly stuff! I'm up in years like you and your husband, so it might be too late for us. However, you are teaching people, and more than likely your children and grandchildren. For their sake, you could look into this and see what I'm talking about?
I made these. it took me a few times but, I have it down now! Thank You!
Oh my gosh this video is so cute!
What year is this from?
I believe we shot this in November of 1998 using my grandfather's hi8 camcorder and a couple reflector lamps from the hardware store. I used a dryer sheet as diffusion on the lights, so the kitchen smelled like fabric softener once the bulbs warmed up.
Thank you so much for sharing Grandma Liz's recipe. Her recipe and technique is the real deal. I wonder how many pasty's Grandma Liz has made? I bet thousands.
