- 1
Prepare the filling: In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Drain off excess fat.
- 2
Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, habanero (if using), and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- 3
Stir in the recado paste, thyme, cumin, black pepper, salt, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato paste. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- 4
Add 0.5 cup of water and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. If the mixture is too thin, stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until thickened.
- 5
Remove the filling from heat and let it cool completely. This is crucial to prevent the dough from becoming soggy.
- 6
Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- 7
Cut in the shortening and cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- 8
Gradually add cold water, a tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- 9
Divide the dough into two discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- 10
Preheat oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
- 11
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use a 4-inch round cutter to cut out 12 circles for the pie bases.
- 12
Press the dough circles into the muffin cups, ensuring they line the bottom and sides.
- 13
Spoon the cooled meat filling into each dough-lined cup, filling them about two-thirds full.
- 14
Roll out the second disc of dough and cut out 12 smaller circles (about 3 inches) for the pie tops.
- 15
Place the top circles over the filling. Crimp the edges of the top and bottom dough together to seal. You can use a fork to create a decorative edge.
- 16
Cut a small slit in the top of each pie to allow steam to escape.
- 17
Brush the tops of the pies with the beaten egg wash for a golden finish.
- 18
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
- 19
Let the meat pies cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before carefully removing them to a wire rack to cool further. Serve warm.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ
