  In a large bowl, stir shortening & water until shortening

  Cut potatoes and rutabagas into 1/8" or 1/4" cubes; do
  not make cubes too large or they will not cook properly.
  Gently combine ground beef and pork; crumble meat. In a
  large bowl, combine potatoes, rutabagas, onions, meat
  mixture and seasonings.
  
  Divide dough into 12 equal portions. On a floured
  surface, roll out 1 portion at a time into an 8"
  circle. Mound 1-1/2 to 2 cups filling on half of each
  circle; dot with 1 teaspoon butter. Moisten edge with
  water; carefully fold dough over filling and press edge
  with a fork to seal.
  
  Place on ungreased baking sheets. Cut several slits in
  top of pasties. If desired, brush with cream or beaten
  egg. Bake @ 350ºF/175ºC until golden brown, about 1
  hour. Cool pasties on wire racks. Serve hot or cold.
  Store in the refrigerator.
