Savory Pies – Irish Butte Pasties | Pastry Craft. I’ve been a little amused lately with all of the chatter about pie being the new “it” food. Pie shops are popping up everywhere. My amusement comes from growing up around a lot of pie, both sweet and savory. My mother is one of the best pie makers I know and pie has always been a staple in our family. My mother has quite a repertoire of pies. But my mother’s specialty pie and most requested dinner entrée has always been a savory meat pie called the pasty, or specifically, the Irish Butte pasty. The Irish Butte pasty is just slightly different than the Cornish pasty traditional in England, with the Irish pasty meat being cut in cubes and the English version always containing sliced meat.

In our family, we’ve always eaten pasties as a main course for dinner. Irish Butte Pasties (makes 4 main course pies) This recipe was passed down from my grandmother, Hazel Ryan née Burke, a Butte native. Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Bake the pasties at 375°F oven for about one hour.
