Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prep your pan by lining with parchment paper.
Cut up butter and shortening into dice-sized chunks. Add flour and mix together by hand until the butter is in pea-sized chunks. Add 3/4 cup of water and stir together with a wooden spoon. Add more water as needed to form a slightly crumbly ball of dough. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
While the dough is chilling dice up your vegetables into 1/4 inch dice, and chop up the parsley.
Remove the chilled dough from the fridge and cut into 6 equal chunks. Roll out individual chunk into a circle slightly larger than your hand on a well-floured surface. Place approximately 1/8 cup each of chunked up ground pork and beef on half of the dough circle. Salt and pepper well. Add small portions of vegetables on top of meat. Add salt and pepper. Sprinkle parsley on top.
Fold over the other half of the dough, lightly wet the edge with moistened fingertips, and press to seal. Crimp edges by folding up and over and pressing down.
Repeat with the remaining dough portions and place all onto your prepared pan.
Brush the tops with your egg wash, and cut three small steam vents into the dough.
