Ingredients

• 350 grams All-purpose flour
• 170 grams Unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
• 120 ml Ice-cold water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 250 grams Ground beef
• 150 grams Potatoes, peeled and diced small
• 100 grams Carrots, peeled and diced small
• 50 grams Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 1 unit Egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the chilled cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Gradually add the ice-cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Do not over-mix. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the diced potatoes, carrots, onion, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables have slightly softened.

Step 5

Stir in the thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2 minutes more, then remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 7

On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 3mm thickness. Use a 12cm round cutter or a small bowl to cut out circles of dough.

Step 8

Place 2-3 tablespoons of the cooled filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to form a semicircle and press the edges together firmly to seal.

Step 9

Crimp the edges with a fork or pinch them decoratively. Place the hand pies on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

Brush the tops of the hand pies with the beaten egg to help them turn golden and crisp.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 12

Let the hand pies cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
