Instructions

Dough

Dough making

  1. In your mixing bowl, add in your flour, baking powder, sugar and commence mixing. 
  2. Add your butter in bits and continue mixing for a bit
  3. Mix your milk and egg in a separate bowl, and add into the mixer bowl little by little
  4. Knead with a sprinkle of flour on a work surface and then set aside. 

Filling

  1. It’s time to make our filling guys, pour some oil into your sauce pan and then add in your minced meat, cook till visibly edible
  2. Add in some chopped onions and pepper (ata rodo)
  3. The next thing is to develop the flavours you want in your filling, I usually go in with curry, a little paprika and ground white pepper and of course your bouillion cube for taste
  4. Add a little corn starch slurry to add in some juiciness
  5. Bring back the dough and start the magic of cutting into medium sized chunks, rolling it with a pin and using your meatpie cutter to put in the filling. 
  6. Seal with some flour paste and a fork press
  7. Apply Egg wash to the dough, and make small holes at the top with a fork to prevent the swelling of the pie while in the oven
  8. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 degree centigrade till done. 
  9. Serve with a cold glass of juice and enjoy
