Ingredients

Scale
  • 250 g All-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Make the pastry: In a saucepan, melt butter with boiling water until bubbling. Pour over flour and half of the salt in a bowl. Stir to combine and knead until smooth.
  2. Prepare the filling: In another bowl, mix ground meat, onion, white and black pepper, mace, nutmeg, and remaining salt until evenly combined.

  4. Fill and seal: Spoon filling into pastry cases, moisten edges with water, top with pastry circles, and crimp to seal.
