We have been talking about making Yooper pasties for awhile now, but it’s really time consuming — so much chopping and peeling! We both live busy lives, and haven’t been able to set aside the time and energy to devote to all the prep work and baking.
If you make pasties, you want to make a lot — and if you’re making a lot, you need a lot of crust, many veggies, lots of meat, and a TON of time. Besides the time it takes to chop veggies, baking each sheet of six pasties takes at least an hour. The good news? They freeze well, and you can reheat them in the oven with much less fuss (microwaving is possible, but yuck).
