Spurred on by a Paula Dean recipe for apple handpies, I decided to take a shortcut this time. Instead of making the dough myself, I used refrigerated biscuit dough which I rolled very thin. I filled them with chopped butternut squash, turnips, onions, and potatoes (I didn't even use up 1 of each vegetable). Then I baked them for 30 minutes with foil on top for the last 10 minutes so they wouldn't get too brown. You know, they were okay...but they tasted like refrigerator biscuit dough. Next time I'll make them Alton Brown's way again. Sorry Paula.

I used the Alton Brown recipe to make my pasties, too, and I think they turned out well. yay, Alton! (and yay to you for posting it in the first place.) I did change a couple of things, though, including using wheat flour instead of white, and I used a lamb, herb, and vegetable filling. I keep meaning to post the recipe on my xanga...
They look really good in the photo, anyway.
And yay for a fixed oven! Is it really fixed? What was wrong?
Yeah. It was the temperature sensor. I knew that all a long. It was just a matter of waiting for my father-in-law to have enough time. He's been working really hard all summer/fall on his own projects.
Yeah. I used half wheat flour. Did it work well with all wheat flour?
