Directions:Prepare the filling ingredients and mix together in a large bowl.
For the crust, combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the water a little at a time until the mixture begins to come together. DO NOT over-mix the dough or the pastry crust will be tough and won't be flaky. Form the dough into a log, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before using (this is crucial).
Cut the crust log into 6 equal pieces Roll the dough out on a lightly floured work surface to a 8 inch circle that's about 1/8 inch thick. You can use an 8-inch plate as your guide and cut the dough around it to form your circle.
Place enough of the filling into the centre of the crust circle that will allow the crust to be pressed together without the filling interfering. Place a pat of butter on top of the filling. Wet the tips of your fingers and lightly moisten the edges of the pastry dough. Gently bring the sides of the pastry up and seal it down the middle. Turn the pasty onto its side and crimp the edges
Lay the pasties on a lined baking sheet. Use a sharp knife to cut a slit in the center of each pasty.
Bake at 400* for 45-55 minutes until golden in color.
