Crust:
2 cups unbleached all purpose flour
1 cup white whole wheat flour or whole wheat flour
1 1/8 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening (preferably nonhydrogenated), frozen
1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
7 tablespoons (or more) ice water
Filling:
4 teaspoons olive oil
2 large onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
10 ounces skirt steak, cut crosswise on diagonal into 1/4-inch-wide strips
1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt, divided
6 ounces coarsely crumbled Stilton blue cheese (11/3 to 11/2 cups), divided

Add 7 tablespoons ice water. Toss with fork until moist clumps form, adding more water by teaspoonfuls if dry. Gather dough into ball; divide into 4 equal pieces. Shape each into disk; wrap and chill at least 45 minutes and up to 1 day.
  • For filling:

Spread 1/4 of onion mixture on half of each round, leaving 1-inch plain border. Top onions with beef strips. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt over beef on each, then top each with 1/4 of cheese. Sprinkle with pepper. Brush dough border with some egg white. Using bottom parchment as aid, fold plain dough half over filling. Seal edges. Fold sealed edge over again; press with fork to double-seal.
  • Brush each pasty with egg white. Cut 3 slits in each top crust. Divide pasties (still on parchment) between 2 large rimmed baking sheets.

CARAMELIZED ONION & CHEESE PASTRIES



Caramelized Onion & Cheese Pastries image

I came up with this as an appetizer for my Christmas dinner, but now I serve it year round. I love French onion soup, and the caramelized onions, herbs and Swiss cheese make this taste like French onion soup in crisp, flaky crust. Don't worry about little tears as you work with the phyllo because after it's folded the tears and uneven edges disappear.-Elizabeth Brough, Eighty Four, Pennsylvania
