How To Make pasty pie

• Step 1
  Pastry: Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl, add the lard and butter (helpful to shred butter directly into the flour), rub mixture until it blended. Stir in water to make the dough, knead until smooth. Shape into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
• Step 2
  Filling: Julienne onion, turnip and potato. Thinly slice beef.
• Step 3
  Heat oven to 400 degrees. Divide dough into 5 equal portions. Roll each out to a circle of 9 inches. Layer filling as follows, leaving a 1cm boarder: turnip, potato, onion, turnip, potato, beef. Season with salt and pepper. Fold pastry over and crimp edges by pinching between your thumb and finger. Seal all five pastries and place on a parchment lined rimmed backing sheet.
