My father-in-law grew up in Hancock! Frankly, I think the recipe I got from him is the best. :) Who knows? Maybe it was a special Hancock secret recipe that we both share!
I’d be interested to compare recipes with you...I’ve had pasties from other places in MI, in England, etc., but none compare with the Hancock pasties. Grandma always said the copper mining country had the best recipe. Maybe you and I feel that way because that is what we were raised with and we were definitely subjected to brain-washing!
Do you know that in England they make them with ground beef?!?!?!?!
My father grew up in Calumet. My mother got her pasty recipe from my grandmother, and it was my all-time favorite childhood meal.
