I am a born-and-raised Yooper from Escanaba, MI! I actually worked at one of the most famous and best pasty shop chains in the Upper Peninsula, Dobber’s Pasties! (Our main shop is in Escanaba, and our second shop is in Iron Mountain) We get people that come in ALL the time wanting to get one of our well-known pasties, you can’t try any other flavor of pasty for your first time except for the original beef, and even giving a side of ketchup, a spicy ketchup, or beef gravy a shot as well to eat along with it! Lots of people say that Dobber’s Pasties are soft, have nice flavor, and taste just like their mom’s/grandma’s homemade pasties. We get people not just from around the U.P., but from ALL OVER the country that tour up here and want to try our well-known, traditional food. Even though the Upper Peninsula is known for their pasties, it originally came from Cornwall, so it is a Cornish meal. Sometimes we get people that are from England that come to the shop to get a taste of our pasties to see if they taste just as good as the ones from their homeland. If you guys ever come visit the U.P., specifically in the Escanaba area, definitely stop by Dobber’s Pasties! ❤️😊👍🥧

This made me cry in a wonderful, nostalgic way. My grandmother was from MI and pasties was one of her specialties. I never made them with her :( but she left me the recipe and her secret. We thought she made up the recipe but she gave me the old newspaper article from the 50s that had the recipe. She laughed and said no one knew and she wish we had made them together. I have never had the courage to make them. It's an intimidating recipe for an inexperienced baker. After watching you I now think I can do it with your guidance. Thank YOU! She did not put in sausage or ground beef. She made a roast and use that meat instead. She served them with gravy from that roast. So Delicious! Love to you Grandma.

[@bettywhittington9654]

You should make them. I'm sure you'd have such fond memories of her. You'll even feel the laughter and fun every had sitting around the table eating them😋

This reminds me of a meat pie I always made my son for his birthday. Roast beef, carrots,onions,peas and potatoes in a bottom and top crust. It was his favorite meal.

The crust of the pastie was used as a ‘handle’ as the Cornish miners hands were so dirty from mining. Originally one half of the pastie was savoury and the other half was sweet, rhubarb and custard rings a bell. I’m from Devon, next door to Cornwall!

[@MaryRass3374]

Loved this video Becky and Renee. I can almost smell them. My Dad, a little feisty Italian grew up in Iron Mountain Michigan. We had pasties in a weekly dinner rotation and always packed them for vacation’s. Funny fact. My Dad never figured out the hot water crust (which is what I use now) As he got older rolling out the crust was difficult. I drove in their driveway one day and my Dad was standing in the garage by his car looking at the walls laughing. Yes, he put crust in plastic bags behind all 4 tires and rolled the car over them.. Needless to say, they exploded everywhere. If only KZbin “cook with me” had been around back then. 😂

[@prarieborn6458]

My mi aws had huge very tall old Black walnut or English Walnut tree beside thier driveway.. when the nuts fell off in the fall, they were so hard shelled, it was almost impossible to crack them by hand. , so they drove over them with thier vehicles sometimes driving over something is the best way to solve a problem. The Crows would put acorns under the rear tires of the cars in the parking lot where I worked. When we backed out to leave, they were waitng and swooped in to collect the cracked ones.

[@georgiaperrin9565]

I had no idea that pasty's had crossed the big pond! I was really surprised how similar your recipe is to Cornwall's, England (the place where pasty's originally come from). Here, we use skirt beef and add clotted cream instead of butter. They are the perfect meal and so important to the Cornish and their culture!

She made the best cornbread dressing I ever had in my life. She raised five children and I was blessed to marry her middle son. Our two sons were very happy to have her for their Mee-Maw. She made it to 90 years and 3 months of age, then suddenly left us. Becky and Renee, keep making these happy memories together. They are are the gold we save up for our golden years!💋❤

That's not a traditional pasty recipe!! The pastry they are using would never be used for making pasties. Pork pies and savoury pies (which this is) yes. But don't call this a pasty. I live in Devon, and have a 50 year old recipe from a lady who grew up in Marazion. She's turning in her grave

I am an old lady at 80, and i am determined to make this dough , it looks easy and I plan to make a French Canadian Tortiere -- savory meat pie with sage , cnnamon, cloves, allspice etc..just enough to give it a wonderful flavor. for Christmas this year. Last year I used with plain pie crust made with butter but it is a lot of work so i was thrilled to see this recipe, it almost looks “fail safe” . and i always wanted to know how to make “pasties” I do not care if it is not authentic Cornish....Renee said she saw how they made pasties on the British Baking Show on tv years ago. Secret recipes should remain secret.and every cook has her own secrets. I have just one question:. can anyone tell me how much salt to put in the pasty dough? The ladies mentioned to add the salt however, the recipe @ the link, does not include an amount. Thank you.❤. 🎄❤ Merry Chritmas from NW WA 🇺🇸

Michigander here. I always use ground beef and ground pork for the meats. We also add heavy cream to the filling. Glad to see you did add the rutabaga since it isn't a true Michigan pasty without them, and so many people leave them out. I occasionally add a parsnips to the filling too.

Yes! Michigan girl here, married to a Yooper originally from Ontonagon. 😍 We love pasties! I use diced beef or ground pork, and always include onion, carrot, potato, and rutabaga. I prefer the hot water crust, though I do a combination of shortening and butter. For our first ‘serious’ date, I made pasties and a layered carrot cake, two of my husband’s favorites. Though he meant it as a compliment, he said my pasties reminded him of the ones his grandma bought from the freezer section. 😂😂 To this day, he insists he meant they looked like store-bought, but tasted way better. Pretty sure he’ll never live it down - my parents are fond of repeating that story. Thankful I married a man with such a good sense of humor! 😁😊🥰

We love pasties here in the UK 🤤 I love a thick crust (think I love it more than anything else) little history behind the thick crust, back in the day when men went down the mines, the wives would make a thick crust so the men could throw that part away as their hands were so dirty from mining. Your mother in law has such a calming persona, I could watch her all day and also she looks absolutely amazing to have adult children. Lots of love and stay safe, Lisa from the UK 💖

But it isn't a true recipe. My hubby is from England and we have made Melton Mowbray pork pies have the hot water lard crust. Pasties they were not made with hot water crust.

I love your video. I live in Michigan and have been making pasties since I was a kid. My moms best friend was from the upper in Michigan. Her name was Donna. We made pasties with her a few times. After Donna passed away my mom and continued to make pasties. Usually in the fall. She would make the pastry, I would make the filling. My mom was diagnosed with cancer in 2002. When we went to make our pasties in the fall of 2004, mom was limited as to what she was physically able to do. So I had to make the pastry. I was scared to death. But my mom walked me through it. I think that was the best gift she could have given me. My husbands dad was born in copper harbor, Michigan. His dad migrated here from Germany, his mother came from Finland. Grandpa met grandma while working at Quincy Mine. Together they held many careers and occupations. The bought two homes next to each other in Calumet. One house was for boarders, the other house was for the family. Grandma cooked and cleaned for the boarders, who were primarily miners who worked in the copper mines. Hubs aunt Anne who is 96 years old and still doing great, told me that even in the winter they would hang their long underwear outside to dry. They would bring in these stiff, frozen long underwear in and would fold them. Thanks for the video. I really enjoyed it.

The meat used in Cornish pasties is called 'skirt'. My father was a miner in South Africa (Transvaal) in the early 1900s and he used to crow about the Cornish women who took daily orders for pasties for the miners to take underground with them. Jam at one end and a bottle of cold tea to drink, was lunch.

I inherited the job of continuing the family pasty making..I use much less swede but add pumpkin and parsley. My mother in law insisted salt was most important and would run her finger through the mixture and taste..It works!!! my family say I smoosh (mixing it all together) the mixture. Lamb mince also makes fantastic flavour. I have been known to make up to 100 if having a family gathering. A mincer is great for doing the vegys. I live in Australia from a Cornish background.

I learned about pasties from my favorite show of all time, Edwardian Farm. you would love it I bet, it is two historians and an archaeologist living as farmers during a recreation of Edwardian times in Devon, right across the river from Cornwall so they had an episode about the miners and their pasties!

Renee has a voice that is so soothing and you two compliment each other greatly with your talent. Thank you for sharing.

your mother- in-law is adorable! 😍

What a blessing it is to have all that family around you! I have found my own little piece of Heaven in northern Idaho and everyone dear to me seems to love it up here and want to move. They’re currently all about 12 hours away... Retirement, grand babies, homesteading is the motivation... I’m hoping my family will keep feeling pulled up here and be close once again!

[@susiesalazar7360]

These remind me of the empanadas my grandmother used to make. Your mother in law is amazing. Enjoyed watching her and teaching us how to make pasties.

[@BAHAMommy]

I love you and now your mother in law! She needs a channel! I also loved her basket. She could teach canning!

[@ncgardener7468]

Love these videos with your mother-in- law!!! These look amazing!

When chopping onions grab a wet paper towel and put it down on the cutting board between you and the onion. It helps with the watery eyes. Renee is a whole treasure, thank you for sharing her with us.

You are very blessed to have your mother and Josh’s mother that you spend time with. They are both wonderful to watch and of course I love watching your videos! ❤️

This sounds absolutely great! I've always watch all "The Great British... " shows like the yearly Bake Offs, Pottery show, Sew-offs etc. They do hot water crust pies of all sorts aside from just Pasties. When my husband and I went to New Zealand we stayed with some friends we met while camping and remained friends for many years. They always encouraged us to come to New Zealand and offered us accommodation and the use of a vehicle if we did come. In 2019 we went in the middle of February for 4 weeks. One of them picked us up from the Auckland Airport after our 17 hour flight on a huge Boeing 777 or 787 and drove us to out to his farm. One of the things he did that he stated we were hopefully in time not to miss is he stopped at a gas station with an attached store. He lead us to the area where every day around lunch for a few hours the local bakeries deliver very delicious large Pasties with assoryed fillings. That 1st day we were in time to be lucky enough that there were still plenty of warm delicious smelling Pasties I choose the chicken, while my husband and our friend choose one of the choice of beef or sausage or combination beef and sausage with assorted fillings, like potatoes, carrots, turnips or rutabaga in a wonderful thick gravy type filling. It was so warm and delious like chicken stew with lots of meat a nice proportion of veggies in a delicious thick gravy. I felt like a warm satisfying hug to your stomach, body and soul. Im so glad you made these. The pasties I was lucky enough to get a few times while we were there,2 chicken and 1 beef.I craved them ever since and I'm glad you made some. Our friends lived in beautiful green, green rolling hills, and with their farm next to the farm where they built and maintained the Hobbiton Movie Set, with the Green Dragon Pub, The Great Tree, and quite a few hilly hobbit houses, mostly just fronts and nothing inside but they did build a nice big one that they used as Bilbo Baggins home and Frodo Baggins home in the various films. The tour starts at the Town called Matamata, with the beautiful main street filled with pubs, small stores, a butcher and a bakery as well as a large beautifully manicured green spce down the center of town with beautiful green grass and interesting manicured trees nicknamed "Hobbiton Green" with a huge round building as the town's visitor center and souvenir shop and post office. It was a beautiful building much larger than it seemed from the outside with the roof looking like it was made of sticks, mud and straw and a big round wooden house that just fit in perfect with the movie house for the local North Island tourist bureau. You could get maps and fliers about the various tourist spots also information about other points of interest to visit on both islands. You can book various tours with the favorite from the movies and books from which you came book a Hobbiton tour, which while quite expensive they provide luxury bussing, a tour guide out to the amazing huge Hobbiton village and time to talk to the various in character locals who worked there maintaining everything including adding lifelike silk leaves on any of the trees there that lose to many in a wind or rain storm and mowing and maintaining and entertaining the tourists with cheery music etc. The end of the tour finishes at "The Green Dragon Pub" where your tickets provided a pint with the option of buying another, of several of the various local beers or ciders, and a good choice of tasty lunch meals included. You could also purchase assorted Hobbiton trinkets from the gift shop and then your scheduled ride on a luxury bus ride back to town. Because they were neighbors and friends they had several passes which gave us a 40% discount which is welcome when there are so many places to visit. The North island was mostly a beautiful green green island where there are a lot of green rolling hills, on which you see sheep or cows grazing, plentiful beaches most lined with the crumbled remains of the volcanic eruption that created the islands. A lot of crushed seashells and some really nice whole ones. We never made it to the more volcanic bare South island covered in even more walking trails with beautiful green spots and snow in the mountains to ski in, in the winter. One thing tourists should know and any from Europe often do. Instead of renting an expensive motor home to provide for everything you need. They rent or buy a small car and pack bedding and a small tent and the food to eat and go camping which is surprisingly expensive, to Canadians and Americans around $40-65 and charged per night per person. But they all have at least 1 large kitchen(s) with 8 to 10 stoves and some have an oven or 2, multiple sinks, supplied with dish soap, dish drainer, and an open cupboard shelf full of dish towels, dish cloths, oven mitts, even tablecloths at some other have fresh washed place mats, or plastic if you chose, cupboards full of large serving bowls, and platters, plates, cups, saucers, and every kind of pot or pan imaginable, drawers at each area filled with cutlery, can openers, tongs etc, nice cozy long long tables with room for probably 50 people at a time to eat at. You can be unsocialable and just go and cook your food and eat back at camp or you can join the cheer and pleasantries of others both tourists and locals and make for great friends and socialize as long as you want. There are kettles and the cupboards that provide and assortment of teas or instant coffee or hot chocolate. The cheaper ones you may have to purchase these items at the office store. There are large signs posted everywhere in a multitude of languages, telling everyone to clean up after yourselves. Everyone dutifully washes their dishes and puts them away. Throwing their used washcloths and dish towels into the laundry bin. Every morning there's a big pile of freshly washed laundry. There is usually a basic game room with a pool table ping-pong table and a few pinball type machines, a small area which is an area where you can take a book or magazine and/or drop off the books and magazines you read. There is usually a large pile of local newspapers to take with an honor box to pay for it. The big papers from the major cities around the world New York times or London, Japan, China, Germany, and Australia are available for purchase from the office though often times once people read them they add them to the pile in the library area with a few chairs. The more expensive camping places have more of a luxury lounge and all have a library and several deluxe seating areas with comfortable sofas and chairs with several nice areas with each having a large screen television. Otherwise to get the news and weather you have to go to the office screen. I guess these types of campgrounds are simular all thru Europe.

What a wonderful, wholesome video! Love the Michigan connection! I'll definitely have to try making these for my husband 😊

[@cmurph0223]

Anyone else feel disappointed at the end that they weren't actually going to this party lol. But seriously this was just so wholesome and relaxing to watch. Great job!

[@cinnamongurl8102]

What a great way to spend time with family. Happy Birthday ya'll.

[@MamaD1121]

I was so excited to see the title of the video! I grew up in a very small town in the UP & for a senior class trip fundraiser, we would make hundreds of Pasties on a Saturday…some of my most favorite memories & one of my most favorite meals!! (Definitely not a fast dinner 😁)

[@DorothyAllen777]

I love your mother in law! What a great recipe. Can't wait to try this.

[@kendrawilliamson9500]

I love seeing yalls bond. It reminds me a lot of my mother in-law and myself. I’m very lucky to have her in my life. And it’s sad that not a lot of people have a great MIL and DIL relationship. So seeing yalls it’s beautiful.

[@kristinebrowne2724]

My parents had a restaurant and sold pasties. "King George's pasties". My mother came from the Upper peninsula. We were yuppers! Still make the best pasties around!!

[@patricialawlor1644]

your mother in law is just wonderful along with your mom. I am definitely going to make these. Thank you
