Ingredients

• 200 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 100 grams Unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
• 60 milliliters Cold water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 250 grams Ground beef
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the chilled cubed butter and use your fingers to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Mix in the cold water gradually, stirring with a fork until the dough begins to come together.

Step 4

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.

Step 5

Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Step 7

Stir in the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 8

Season the meat with paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and remove from heat.

Step 9

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 10

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into small circles or rectangles, depending on your preferred pastry shape.

Step 11

Place a spoonful of the meat mixture onto one side of each dough circle or rectangle.

Step 12

Beat the egg in a small bowl, using it to brush the edges of the dough. Fold the pastry over the filling and press the edges to seal.

Step 13

Arrange the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg.

Step 14

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 15

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free savory meat pastries warm.
