Combine flour, salt, baking powder, & pepper.
Cut in fat until fine like peas.
Beat egg; add water & vinegar and mix well.
Sprinkle liquid over flour & stir with a fork until dough forms a ball.
You don't have to worry about over-handling. Remember they used to eat this in place of a sandwich, so it has to hold up.
Divide into 6 equal size balls & set aside.
Filling and Construction:
Mix meat, vegtables, salt & pepper together.
Roll out each ball on a floured board into a 10 inch circle.
Place 1 cup of filling on each circle with a piece of butter.
Moisten rim; crease & fold over.
Seal & flute edges.
Cut slits in top for steam to escape.
Brush tops with milk.
Place on ungreased cookie sheet & bake for one hour @ 350 degrees.
