Hey loves

I trust your week was amazing ❤️

This week we’re making meat pies! 💃💃

Ingredients

>Flour

>Minced beef

>Sausages

> 1 egg

> Water or milk

>Margarine or butter

Method

How to make the dough:

*Add flour according to the number of pies you want to make. (you could measure using a cup)

*Add some salt

*Add margarine

*Mix these properly then add water. The water used MUST be cold. If you’ll use milk, refrigerated milk is preferred.

*When the dough is ready, wrap it with cling film and put it in the fridge to rest for 30 mins.

Meat filling

*Use minced meat and sausage meat.

*Using a fork, mix them till they properly combine.

*In a cooking pot, fry onions until they are translucent then add the meat and your preferred spices. Cook for 10-12 mins.

Alternatively, heat oil in a pan, add your meat; let it cook for about 5 mins minutes then add the finely chopped onions and let them cook for a further 5mins.

*Once the meat is cooked, let it cool.

*After 30 mins get the dough out of the fridge and roll it out. Cut it into preferred shapes. (I used squares)

*Fill the meat on one cut dough slice and cover with another.

*Use a fork to bind the 2 pieces and also create the pattern.

*Repeat this for all pies.

Preheat oven for 10mins at this point

*Make the eggwash using an egg and 1 tablespoon of water. (If you don’t like eggs use 2-3 spoons of water so as to dilute the egg kabisa)

*Using a brush, apply the egg wash to all pies.

*When all pies have been eggwashed, place the baking tray in the preheated oven.

Bake them for 40 mins at 180°

*After 10 mins apply another layer of egg wash and let them continue baking.
