Prepare the flaky pastry by combining icy water, 1 teaspoon of salt, 5 ounces of butter, 10 tablespoons of shortening, and 3.5 cups of flour in a food processor.

Chill the pastry mixture in the refrigerator for at least an hour.

Use cooked vegetables (carrot, potato, onion, garlic) and cubed roast beef for the filling.

Roll out the dough to about half the size of a 7.5-inch plate.

Cut out circles of dough using the plate as a guide.

Make an egg wash, approximately two-thirds of a cup, to brush on the pastries.

Fill the dough circles with the vegetable and beef mixture.

Fold the dough over to create a pasty and seal the edges.

Sprinkle the tops with parsley and paprika, and pierce a couple of holes in the top for steam.

Bake the pasties for 30 minutes.
