Steps

Filling

  1. Combine all the filling ingredients. Mix well then set aside in chiller.

Crust

  1. Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl. Add egg and half of the water. Mix until it forms into a dough. Chill covered in plastic film for at least 30 mins before rolling out.

  2. Roll out dough until 1/4 inch thick. Cut out 12 rectangular pieces.

  3. Put a scoopful of filling in the center of each rectangular dough. Brush the edges with water. Cover with another sheet and press the sides with a fork to seal. Fry in hot oil just until pies are nicely browned.

Puff pastry

  1. Fill in the filling in the pastry, arrange on a baking sheet and bake in a 375 deg preheated oven for 15-20 mins or until lightly browned. Let cook and serve.
