We used to get these at Mackinac Island! Along with Thelma's Fudge! And those sweet rolls.. Wonderful!


Have bought them but never made, thanks for sharing, Mare


HI! Just dropped in to snoop. Saw you live close to Macinak island. We bought our boat from there and boated it clear back to Tennessee. The lake up there (early fall) was as bad as any ocean I've seen. We had HUGE breakers busting over the entire boat....not a fun trip! But it IS very pretty there.....


Pasties are a staple here in Australia...I have never tried to make them as my mother-in-law makes them all the time. My husband has told me I better get on to it now because when we return to Canada he is going to need a pasty fix every once in a while....great post.


OMG, I love pasties sooo much!


Hi. I lived up in Calumet and my friends Mom made them often. I have her version submitted. Love these.
