How to Make Delicious Pork and Onion Pies

Pork and onion pies are savory, comforting treats perfect for any meal. Here’s a simple guide to making them from scratch.

Ingredients: For the dough, mix 2 cups flour, 1 tsp salt, ½ cup cold butter (cubed), and ½ cup ice water until a soft dough forms. Chill for 30 minutes. For the filling, sauté 1 lb ground pork with 1 diced onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, and ½ tsp each of salt, pepper, and dried thyme until cooked through. Let it cool.

Steps: Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut into 6-inch circles. Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each circle, fold the dough over, and seal edges with a fork or crimp them. Brush the tops with egg wash for a golden finish.

Baking: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the pies on a lined tray for 20–25 minutes until crispy and browned. Serve hot with ketchup or a side salad.

These pies are versatile—add herbs like rosemary or veggies for extra flavor. Enjoy homemade goodness in every bite!
