Prepare rough crust pastry by mixing flour, lard, butter, salt, and water.

Roll out the rough crust pastry until thin.

Use a 7 1/2-inch pasty ring to cut out circles of pastry.

Add raw diced potatoes, onions, swede, and beef to the pastry.

Season the filling with salt and pepper.

Fold the pastry over the filling and crimp the edges to seal, traditionally with 20 crimps.

Brush the pasties with a mixture of oat milk and cow's milk for a glaze.

Bake the pasties slowly for about one hour.
