Yooper Pasties

A ‘Yooper’ is a term for someone who is from or lives in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. This variation of a hand pie is called a pasty and is made of a melange of root vegetables and meat baked in pie crust. Yoopers who worked in the mines long ago would take these portable hand pies for their meals although they are still available in restaurants and roadside stands all over the UP nowadays. There is debate whether these pasties stem from our Cornish or Finnish ancestors, but each family had their own special recipe and used whatever ingredients they had on hand.
