🥗Healthier: whole wheat pastry

💰Cheaper: store-bought pastry

Whole wheat adds fiber, while store-bought saves time.

In a bowl, mix the bread flour, cold butter, cold lard, and salt.

Gradually add ice water until the dough comes together, kneading slightly to form a tough dough.

Prepare the filling by combining cubed beef skirt steak, diced onions, diced gold potatoes, diced turnip, salt, black pepper, and cayenne in a bowl.

Roll out the dough and cut into circles for the pasties.

Place filling on one half of each dough circle, add a slice of butter on top of the filling, and fold the dough over to seal.

Crimp the edges to secure the filling inside.

Brush the tops with the egg wash mixture.

Bake pasties at 350°F for about an hour or until browned and bubbly.
