Directions:

FOR THE PASTRY: Combine flour and salt, cut in pieces of chilled butter and shortening. Dough should look like coarse meal. Add enough ice water to form a ball. Knead together lightly. Flatten out on a piece of plastic wrap. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight before rolling out.
VEGETABLE AND MEAT FILLING:
Peel and dice vegetables. Combine with water, bring to a boil, and cook 5 minutes. Drain and reserve liquid. Saute chopped onions in fat until golden, combine with vegetables, add salt and pepper. Dissolve bouillon cubes in 1/2 cup cooking broth, add spiced whiskey, and add mixture to vegetables. Stir lightly with wooden spoon, but do not mash. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add meat to vegetables, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight for flavor to develop.
For turnovers, roll out dough 1/4 inch thick and cut 4 inch rounds. Place filling to one side of each and fold over other half, sealing edges with fork. Arrange on baking sheet. Bake in preheated 375 degrees F. for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden. Brush tops with glaze and bake a few more minutes.
For cylinders, roll half the dough into a 10 by 16 inch rectangle about 1/4 inch thick, arrange filling a serving spoon at a time along one long edge. Roll up, pinching dough to seal. Place carefully onto a greased baking sheet, seam side down, and chill. Repeat to make other roll.
Bake in the middle of a preheated 375 degrees F. oven for 40-45 minutes. Brush with glaze and bake 5 more minutes. With spatula, loosen rolls from baking sheet and cool.
Cut diagonally into 2 inch slices and serve as part of a buffet or with a green salad for supper.

This pastry is a favorite of children and and grownups alike and a fine dish to serve for a buffet supper or as the main course for luncheon. With a short dough similar to pie pastry, it may be formed into cylinders or individual turnovers. The filling consists of vegetables and meat. Pork was a Ukrainian favorite; beef was rare, and when available, tough and stringy. However, today's cook may use beef if preferred.
