Pastry:
1/2 cup cold water
2 cups flour
2/3 cup vegetable shortening or other vegan solid fat
1 teaspoon salt Filling:
1/2 teaspoon pepper and salt
3 cups potatoes, diced
1/2 cup carrots, diced
1/2 cup onions, diced
1 cup vegan ground beef, optional
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Mix dough ingredients (cold water, flour, fat and salt); roll into 4 balls and chill for 1 hour. This part of the recipe can be done the night before, if you prefer.
2. Mix filling ingredients.
3. Roll dough into 8" circles. Fill and seal in pockets. Bake for 25 minutes, until golden brown.
These are easy to make, and very delicious. I personally prefer them without the imitation meat, but both versions are quite good.
