Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma loved Cornish pasties, little meat-and-potato turnovers that originated in Cornwall, England. To turn this recipe into a bigger version of those pasties, she substituted 1 cup chopped cooked potatoes for the celery. She heated the potato mixture until the water was hot, then added the flour mixture and proceeded as the recipe directs.
Grandma and Grandpa disagreed on how much garlic powder to use. Grandpa liked a lot of garlic flavor.
