How to Make Crispy and Savory Meat Pies

Crispy meat pies are a beloved snack, loved for their flaky crust and juicy filling. Here’s a simple guide to making them at home.

Ingredients: For the dough, mix 2 cups flour, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 cup softened butter. Gradually add 1/4 cup cold water, knead into a smooth ball, and rest for 30 minutes. For the filling, combine 1/2 lb ground pork, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp ginger, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 chopped green onion, and a pinch of pepper.

Steps:

1. Prepare the dough: Roll it into a thin sheet, cut into circles, and set aside.

2. Make the filling: Mix all ingredients until well combined.

3. Assemble: Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold and seal the edges, crimping with a fork to prevent leakage.

4. Cook: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the pies for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Drain excess oil on paper towels.

Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce. These pies are perfect as a quick snack or party treat! Enjoy the crispy exterior and flavorful bite in every mouthful.
