Ingredients

• 250 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 150 grams Cold unsalted butter
• 60 ml Ice water
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 300 grams Ground beef
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 1 small Carrot
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 120 ml Gluten-free beef stock
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 Egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix together the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, and salt.

Step 2

Add the cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes, into the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the ice water, stirring until the dough begins to come together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and grate the carrot.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned. Stir in the carrot.

Step 7

Add the tomato paste, gluten-free beef stock, and black pepper. Stir well and simmer for 10 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 8

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 9

Roll out the chilled dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/8 inch thickness.

Step 10

Cut the dough into squares approximately 10 cm by 10 cm.

Step 11

Place a spoonful of beef filling in the center of each dough square.

Step 12

Fold the pastry over the filling to create a triangle or rectangle shape. Press the edges with a fork to seal.

Step 13

In a small bowl, beat the egg yolk with water. Brush the tops of the pastries with the egg wash.

Step 14

Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 15

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
