Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.


Crust
2 cups flour
2/3 cup shortening
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold water
Filling
3/4 pound ground chuck or 1/2-inch cubes of steak
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup grated rutabaga (or carrots)
1/2 cup grated (edible) beef suet (optional)
3 cups diced potatoes
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons dried parsley
OR
1/3 cup fresh chopped parsley
Cut shortening into flour and salt, add water. Mix and knead until well blended. (yes, contrary to pie crust, you knead) Form into 4 balls and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour. Roll in to 8 inch circle. Use plenty of flour while rolling out.
Mix the filling together in a large bowl. Roll out the dough, and brush the edges with milk. Put 1 cup of filling onto one side of each crust and fold over. Seal the edge by pressing with a fork. Put on cookie sheet, cut 1 slit (1/2 inch) in each for steam and brush top with milk.
Bake in 400 degrees F oven on bottom shelf for 25 minutes, then move to middle shelf for 20 minutes.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
