Hey lovelies ❤️
It's your favorite girl @debbie-ese 😍
Welcome to my blog 🤗

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog. In the past few weeks, i have been experimenting with more enthusiasm and passion than ever before in the world of cooking. I have been setting out quality time from my busy schedules to try out new things in the kitchen. This time I will be sharing with you my process of preparing some meat pie that I made for my family. So keep calm and follow me as i walk you through the process

INGREDIENTS (FILLING)

• 200g minced meat
• 3 medium carrots
• 1 Big Onion
• 2 tsp plain flour
• ½ tsp thyme
• ½ tsp curry powder
• 2 season cubes
• Salt
• Water

INGREDIENTS (DOUGH)

• 400g plain flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 250g margarine
• Salt
• Water

HOW TO PREPARE

• Wash and dice your onions and carrots and set aside
• Place your pot on medium heat, add some vegetable oil, add your onions, add your minced meat and fry for about 3 minutes
• Next, add your diced carrots, add some water, add your seasoning cubes, curry and thyme and cover to cook for some time
• While its cooking, mix 2 tsp of flour with ½ cup of water. Mix thoroughly till it gives you a milky consistency. This is needed to give your filling a creamy consistency after baking. So add it to the pot and allow to mix with the other items in the pot for about 60 seconds and turn off the gas.
• Now set aside. We are done with our fillings.
• Let's start the preparations for the dough. Start by mixing the flour, baking powder and salt. After mixing thoroughly add the margarine; mix with the flour as well.
• Now its time to add the water in a gradual process, you need to be careful so that the dough won't be sticky or too soft
• Work the water into the dough till you get a thick consistency
• Place the dough on a flat surface, cut into smaller pieces and roll

• Get a dough cutter or something round and use it to cut out circles. I made used of a round ceramic plate. The size you're cutting out is the size of your meat pie.
• Scoop some of your filling into the middle of the dough that you cut out and seal it up
• Now crack a egg and whisk it together. Use a brush to rub the eggs over the dough. It will make it seal properly and also give it a shiny texture. You can also use a fork to press down the edges of the dough to seal and give a design
  

• Repeat the proceas for the remaining dough and neatly arrange in your oven tray.
• Bake in the oven for about 40 minutes and it is done when it is brown.

• Your meat pie is ready for consumption.
• NOTE: Meat pie is best served hot.
