The "a" is pronounced like that in the word "past" not a hard or long "a" as in "paste." So even though spelling is same, the pronounciation is different between the little things that strippers stick wear and this food item, taken into the mines by Cornish miners for lunch.
PuffinGin....maybe be a regional or heritage thing for the pronounciation? My grandmother made these often, and called them Pasties, with a long "a". She was English. My mom also used a long "a"...Irish descent. However one says it, they are yummy!!! :)

Pzazz, I didn't know there was another another pronunciation used for them but Googling I found mention of both. The Merriam-Webster on-line dictionary says it rhymes with "nasty." I think you may be right about regional/heritage thing. I grew up in N. Wisconsin near the UP Michigan border. I'm totally with you about them being yummy! Now that the cold weather has arrived, I'm going to have to make some very soon.

the dough is pulled up and around the meat & potatoes like a calzone, rather than in a pie plate.

Is that what you're looking for?
yes it is

I am of Finnish descent and pasties are part of our culture and a very anticipated meal.. (Lots of work to make for a big group.) I have also ordered them from UP shops and had them delivered by UPS(frozen, of course.) They are great no matter where they are made or delivered from.

You could add a very little water before sealing the crust and that is why the bacon drippings are good also, don't give up after the first try do it your way!!
