Pasties

I got the idea for these from Mary. I had never heard of Pasties before but they sounded really good so I gave them a shot. I'll be honest, they didn't turn out quite how I expected. The filling just didn't get cooked long enough and I used crescent rolls which did not hold the amount of filling I wanted to use. I am confident that with a few modifications in my ingredients and cooking method, they will turn out perfect next time. So, I will give you directions based on how I will do it next time.
