Whole wheat flour adds fiber.

Mix flour and salt in a bowl.

Cut in butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Add cold water gradually and mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough briefly on a floured surface and wrap in plastic.

Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Peel and dice the potatoes, swede, and onion.

In a bowl, combine the diced vegetables and minced beef.

Season the filling with salt and black pepper.

Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick.

Cut out circles of dough, about 6 inches in diameter.

Place a portion of filling on one half of each circle.

Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape.

Seal the edges by crimping with your fingers or a fork.

Brush the pasties with a mixture of egg and milk.

Place the pasties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F until golden brown, about 30-35 minutes.
