• Add beef and cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, until browned, 5 minutes. Stir in paprika, potato, and raisins; season to taste with salt and pepper and remove from heat.
• On a lightly floured work surface, gently roll out puff pastry sheets to smooth creases. Cut each sheet into 4 squares. Place 1/3 cup beef mixture in center of each pastry square. Brush edges lightly with water, fold over filling to form triangles, press to seal, and sprinkle with paprika.

BEEF & POTATO HAND PIES (CORNISH PASTIES)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment.
• Roll out pie crusts and use a 8-9" tart pan or other pan, inverted, to cut the dough into 4 large circles. You may have to reform and roll the dough between cuttings to get all four circles. Lay 2 dough circles on each parchment lined baking sheet.
• Pile about 1 1/2 cups of the meat and potato mixture (with juices) onto one half of each dough circle. Spread evenly over that half of the dough circle, leaving about 1/2" rim around the edge for crimping. Sprinkle some sea salt and pepper over the meat and potato mixture.
• Use a pastry brush to brush the 1/2" rim of pastry with some of the beaten egg - this will serve as "glue" to seal the pastry edges.
• Gently fold the "blank" side of each dough circle over the meat and potato filling side, matching the edges of the pastry to create a half-circle shaped hand pie. Use your finger to press and seal the edges of the pastry together, fluting them for decoration if desired.
• Once each hand pie is formed, use a very sharp knife to lightly score the top of each pie.
• Use a pastry brush to cover the surface of each hand pie with beaten egg.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes or until crusts are golden and firm to the touch.

BEEF AND RUTABAGA HAND PIES WITH JALAPENO KETCHUP

Steps:

• For the pastry: Combine the flour, sugar and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the cold butter and pulse until the butter is the size of small peas. Whisk the egg yolk, vinegar and 1/2 cup ice water together in a spouted measuring cup. Drizzle over the flour mixture and pulse just until the dough comes together. (If the dough is too crumbly, add a little more water; add more flour if it is too wet.) Dump the dough onto a floured counter and knead a few times to bring it together. Roll into a fat log and wrap in plastic. Chill until firm, about 1 hour.
• For the filling: Combine the beef, carrot, potato, rutabaga, onion, thyme, salt and pepper in a large bowl and mix well.
• To make the pastries, cut the chilled dough crosswise into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece on a floured surface to an approximate 6-by-8-inch oval. Pack a scant cup of the filling in a measuring cup and invert near the bottom of the oval to make a high mound of filling. Beat the remaining egg white in a small bowl with a splash of water. Brush the edges of the pastry with the egg wash. Fold the top of the pastry over the filling and press the dough to make a circular mound of filling in the center. Trim the edges of the dough, if needed, to even them out. Crimp the edges of the pastry and cut two air vents in the top. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling. Chill 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Brush the chilled pastries with egg wash. Bake the pastries 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue to bake until deep golden and cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes more.
• Serve the pastries with Spicy Ketchup.
• Combine the ketchup, jalapenos, brine and Worcestershire in a small bowl. Chill while the pasties bake.
