They make pasties in Cornwall England called Cornish pasties years ago they put the filling in one end and fruit in the other for the copper miner husbands
Back in my younger heavy drinking days in my 20s my favourite hangover food was a Pasty warmed slightly in a microwave. Then put it between two slices of bread with lots of butter, ketchup, mayo (well salad cream, but Im guessing you cant get that there). The butter melts thru the pasty and bread, and adds to the yummy
I recall eating pasties in upper Wisconsin and Michigan whenever I could find a restaurant serving them. Seems like they came over with the English hard rock miners who worked in the copper mines in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I really enjoy the taste but hadn’t run across how to make them. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
Almost a Cornish pasty. Just use thinly sliced raw beef strips, or even ground beef, and slice the veggies thinner. Then add about ten times as much freshly ground black pepper. For extra indulgence, add a small knob of butter to the top of every filling, and poke a hole in the top to avoid them popping and leaking.
Hello fellow Michgander! I am not a Upper, just one of the trolls from under the bridge lol. Thank you for this recipe/video. Will actually try this pasty recipe. That will be great to actually have real pasties in my freezer. Thank you. Take care. Stay warm and God bless 😁
Very interesting that pasties are a Michigan tradition. As a child in Ireland I had them (via Britain) and I think the filling prior to baking contained raw minced beef (hamburger). I’d be interested in trying it your way.
Ohhhhhh! Those look awesome! I luv me a good pasty. I'm #teamketchup! Ketchup, butter and pepper. my dad luvs them with rutabagas. Thanks for sharing and making me hungary!
Love you guys made something out in the cold! I didn't know Americans really made empanadas. I like pumpkin with cheese, I tried those in Argentina and loved them so much! Keep up the good work, guys!
Have you tried making them the Cornish way - putting the meat in raw and adding a bit of butter and flour to the internal ingredients? It creates a sort of gravy inside the pastie from the meat and vegetable cooking juices.
Learned something new here today. Been eating UP pasties since the 50's & I always thought the Finns brought them over. I'm surprised they are from England since the Britts have so little tasty food.
I knew people who would wrap a couple of pasties in paper towel or a handkerchief and stick in an inside pocket when leaving to go deer hunting. They are good cold, and don't make a huge mess. Just the thing for a snack while you are out in your deer stand.
Similar to my mothers beef pot pie. Se made a double crusted pot pie in a 9X13 pan almost the same and served the beef broth on the side for those who wanted it. I remember she used a good bit of sage in it.. Made the house smell wonderful
Sounds good I think this version got popular in the north country because back in the day the iron ore miners ate them in their lunch in the mines. Thanks for stopping by.
Thank you. I’ve been wanting to make these for years but a combination of forgetfulness and not finding a good recipe have held me back. There’s enough info in this video where I can modify any of the steps that I wish.
Thank you. The table works great , it really reduces the bending down. The wind screen helps a lot also. Since you haven’t heard of pasties, you’ll have to try making some. Everyone around here has their own recipe so you can really fill them with whatever you like.
Hey 🖐! New sub here. I happened upon your channel in my UA-cam feed and this looks delicious 😋. Thanks so much for sharing and I look forward to more videos from you. Take care.
Wow,look delicious l made pasty yesterday. I never made it with a roast, I put ground beef and pork in mine. I'm going to try making it with a roast next time. 😊
I’m an Aussie. That pastie looks good and I’m glad you have it as a tradition but you do realise it’s English don’t you? My mother is English and we have pasties a lot here in Australia. Try putting some cubed pumpkin in your vegetable mix too. Sometimes I put a light drizzle of my favourite bbq sauce in when I wrap them up as well.
Eh? A Michigan tradition? That's a Cornish Pasty! Ah well, love that you are making one of my favorite foods either way. The italian sausage was a new one for me.. I wouldn't have thought of that, as it'd be soft, where a pasty's meat should be "filling" (if you get me?).. But Im up for trying.. with the steak that might work well. Also I'd use a much much much cheaper cut of steak :D (usually just use the skirt, Americans probably call that something different)
You're not mistaken, it is in fact a Cornish pasty. But it is also a Michigan tradition, brought to us by the Cornish miners who immigrated here almost 200 years ago. Tastes good either way
@@brettgt40 yeah lots of places in north america with a history of mining also have a history of pasties because of cornish immigrants. enough cornish people moved to Hidalgo, Mexico that 'pastes' became part of their local cuisine too.
I'm sure they taste good but they are a long way from a Cornish Pastry, I don't think boiling the meat is a good idea, you lose all the juice and flavor, I was sure you were going to dice up that good looking piece of meat, I was horrified!
I come from the home of the pasty, Cornwall. The meat, chopped with onion,swede and potatoes are put in the pastry case raw...., never,ever cooked before hand. The steam in the pasty cooks the ingredients. And you never put carrot in a pasty 😡. We call that an emmett pasty. Emmett is the word we use to call the English. Brown sauce,not ketchup🤢 and eaten holding it in the hand. Not knife or fork.
Copper Harbor pioneer family here. We sliced the veggies, cubed the meat, and used both beef and lamb.

This was considered to be their meal and their dessert.
Those miners migrated to the mines of Canada and Michigan and brought the recipe with them.

Great video showing how to make traditional food. Really enjoyed the video.

Half butter and half lard for my crust. Those sure look good, Robin and Geoff. Thank you for sharing your recipe with us. Stay safe and stay warm
That sounds like a good crust. Can’t hardly remember that last time we used lard.
@@justusupnorth8262 Lard gives you a crispy, flakey crust. Butter gives you a nice brown crust. Mix is the best of both worlds.
ditto, Lard makes them flakey yumminess.
Have you or anyone else you know used "Crisco" rather than lard? I know it can be used for pie crust but not sure if it is used on pasties.

I grew up on Pasties, and never saw the meat cooked first.
The fact it's actually snowing during the video makes it even more charming.
Boy oh boy, pasties! One of the few delicious British traditional eats that some parts of America didn't discard.
Very interesting that pasties are a Michigan tradition. As a child in Ireland I had them (via Britain) and I think the filling prior to baking contained raw minced beef (hamburger). I’d be interested in trying it your way.
Should be a diced brisket or cheaper cut of beef with potatoes. There seems to be much argument about what makes up a correct Cornish pasty though!
This is great, makes me miss home. Even in the lower peninsula we'd make these, and yeah they freeze really well too. Thanks for sharing!
As a troll from under the bridge I love me a pastie. We can get them here in the Detroit area and I usually go for the bison ones.
Ohhhhhh! Those look awesome! I luv me a good pasty. I'm #teamketchup! Ketchup, butter and pepper. my dad luvs them with rutabagas. Thanks for sharing and making me hungary!
I may have to try ketchup on one,quite a few people say they like ‘em that way.
Stay cheesy
Love you guys made something out in the cold! I didn't know Americans really made empanadas. I like pumpkin with cheese, I tried those in Argentina and loved them so much!
Keep up the good work, guys!
How fun. I have my family roots in the u.p. grew up in garden city. Now down south. I will sub to see the northern life.

That sounds good,we’ll have to try it that way next time. We’re always open to trying different ideas.
Learned something new here today.
Been eating UP pasties since the 50's & I always thought the Finns brought them over.
I'm surprised they are from England since the Britts have so little tasty food.
Fabulous! You just gave me a nice idea for this weekend. Thank you. Stay safe.
I love Pasties !! I moved to the U P Mich. in 1972 and feel in love with them and have been making them ever since !!😋😋
Interesting to see the difference from the Cornish pasty. They used lard and not butter. Greetings from Saginaw

Thanks for being part of this collab. I've not ever had a pastie but they sure look good
We always got ours across da river in Kingsford
Thank you. I’ve been wanting to make these for years but a combination of forgetfulness and not finding a good recipe have held me back. There’s enough info in this video where I can modify any of the steps that I wish.
A really wonderful recipe and a nice back and forth conversation over the process. Lovely.
I'm not familiar with these, but they look delicious. 👍🏻 Looks like the new gear worked out great. Thanks for sharing Geoff & Robin.
Thank you. The table works great , it really reduces the bending down. The wind screen helps a lot also.

Nice, i think ill go with chuck roast. Chuck is my overall favorite cut. Like the whole flour.
Hey 🖐! New sub here. I happened upon your channel in my UA-cam feed and this looks delicious 😋. Thanks so much for sharing and I look forward to more videos from you. Take care.
These look delicious! Well filmed and presented!
Thank you
I miss my grandmother 😢
looks delicious !Done got hungry!
Thank you.
We ended up with 30 plus the few we ate.
great video! I have to make these when it is the fall
I'd never heard of them but they sure sound delicious.
God bless yall
Hey Mac,
They seem to be a regional thing, especially popular here in Northern Michigan as well as Wisconsin.
Good to hear from you.
Nice empanadas
My grandparents made them at mertins cafe in iron river
Awesome
looks good
Wow,look delicious l made pasty yesterday. I never made it with a roast, I put ground beef and pork in mine. I'm going to try making it with a roast next time. 😊
Looks delicious!
Thank you.
We need to make some more.
Like a cornish pasty. The crust was for the miners to hold as to not get their grubby hands on the pasty
A good English empanada.
Pasties, iirc is an English thing. We made them at my school up in northern wisconsin
Did the people their settle from cornwall? Pasties a Cornish thing from the mining era.
The Pasty looked really good.
Thank you
looks delicious i love pasties! just missing a hunk of butter on top with a nice squirt of ketchup!
It's FREEZING COLD OUT THERE 🥶❄️ The pastys looking good but I feel sorry for your joints and hands
I’m an Aussie. That pastie looks good and I’m glad you have it as a tradition but you do realise it’s English don’t you? My mother is English and we have pasties a lot here in Australia. Try putting some cubed pumpkin in your vegetable mix too. Sometimes I put a light drizzle of my favourite bbq sauce in when I wrap them up as well.
Not having a go but please say Cornish as we are not English cheers mate.

enough cornish people moved to Hidalgo, Mexico that 'pastes' became part of their local cuisine too.
Now that the pasties are done, we must settle in to the traditional pasty topping argument: ketchup? or gravy?
Gravy when for supper, plain when in the lunch box. Gotta try ketchup though, seems to have quite a following.👍
Butter
Dont get no better en dat!
Thats a steak bake not a pastie. Though pastie just means paste (pastry)
What part of the UP are you from?
All American. Absolutely love it
Good old pasties.
Lots of work but so worth it.
@@justusupnorth8262 definitely!
woah.
A most misleading title, Sir, for I saw no pasties.
Indeed you did not even remove your coat much less your shirt and vest.
For shame that is a sin without horseradish.
wheres da catsoup at da end?? need da catsoup eh ahha
Yet another Cornish colony
I'm sure they taste good but they are a long way from a Cornish Pastry, I don't think boiling the meat is a good idea, you lose all the juice and flavor, I was sure you were going to dice up that good looking piece of meat, I was horrified!
What the heck is a 'rootabega'??
Looks like a turnip or what we call a mangelwurzel.
American name for english swede.. nice firm earthy root veg... carrots dont really work as they are too sweet and mushy...
