Directions
In medium bowl, mix flours, sugar and salt, then use fork or pastry blender to mix in remaining ingredients. Gather dough into a ball and let it rest for a few minutes.
This dough is softer and more delicate than traditional doughs, so handle lightly and do not overwork it.
Divide dough into 6 pieces. On lightly floured sheet of waxed paper, roll out and shape each into a circle approximately 5 inches in diameter. If using commercial pie dough, cut into 6 (5-inch) circles
In medium saucepan heat oil over medium heat and cook onion for 2 minutes, or until soft. Add carrots, potatoes, parsnip, squash (if using) and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 8-10 minutes until vegetables are soft and the liquid has evaporated.
Stir in peas and parsley. Let cool.
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
Place 2 tablespoons filling onto a piece of dough. Dip your finger in water. Wet half the edge of dough circle. Fold to form turnover and seal edge with fork. Repeat.
Spray baking dish or tray and arrange turnovers. Brush the tops with the beaten egg.
Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Heat your favorite sauce for dipping and place in small bowls. Serve.
