Step 1
In a bowl, mix 1 cup rye flour, 0.5 cup all-purpose flour, and 0.5 tsp salt. Add 0.5 cup water and 1 tbsp melted butter, then knead into a smooth dough, about 3 minutes.
Step 2
Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each into a thin oval, about 1/8 inch thick, on a floured surface.
Step 3
Place 0.25 cup cooked rice in the center of each oval, leaving a border. Fold the edges over the filling, pinching to create the traditional ruffled edge, leaving the center exposed.
Step 4
Place pasties on a baking sheet. Brush with 1 tbsp melted butter. Bake at 425°F until edges are golden and crisp, about 15 minutes.
Step 5
Serve warm with extra butter on top.
