Ingredients:
For the Flaky Pastry
4 cups all-purpose flour
200 g cold butter, cubed
2 eggs
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp baking powder
¼ cup cold water
For the Savory Meat Filling
¾ lb ground beef
1 potato, diced
1 large onion, chopped
1 carrot, diced
1 cup water or beef broth
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tsp dried thyme
2 tbsp flour
2 tbsp cooking oil
1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions:
In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add eggs and cold water, mixing until a dough forms. Wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté onions until soft, then add carrots and potatoes. Cook for a few minutes. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Sprinkle in flour, then pour in water or broth. Simmer until thickened. Let cool slightly.
Roll out the chilled dough and cut into rounds. Place filling in the center, fold over, and seal edges firmly.
Brush with beaten egg for a golden finish. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25–30 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown.
