Mix flour, salt, and Crisco for the dough.

Mix the dough ingredients well.

Add water and mix as little as possible, using minimal flour when rolling out the dough.

Dice onions and potatoes. Cut meat into small pieces.

Combine diced onions, meat, and potatoes with salt, pepper, and grated rutabaga.

Fill the dough with the meat and vegetable mixture. Form the pasties.

Bake at 400°F for 10 minutes, then at 350°F for 40-45 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.

Make a small slit in the top of each pastie.

After removing from the oven, add a mixture of water and oleo into the slit (1 teaspoon oleo and 1/2 teaspoon water per pastie).

Let the pasties sit for a few minutes before serving.
