While the vegetables are fully cooked, add the flour and water mixture, mix completely.

Furthermore, gradually add little water to the mixture. Be mindful at this stage.

However, while you’re waiting on the dough to cool off a bit, break an egg into a small plate, whisk and set aside. Moreso, after half an hour, take out the dough and place it on a flat surface. You’ll notice the texture of the dough has changed.

Now knead for a minute, be cautious not to over-knead. Cut the dough into smaller pieces and roll. Get yourself a dough cutter or just a saucepan lid and cut out circles. The size of the circle will depend on your expected pie size.

Now scoop up 1-2 tablespoons of filling into the middle of the cut-out dough; make sure there’s adequate room to seal it up.

Rub the egg mixture on the edges of the dough; this will help seal it up properly.
Moreso, close it up and use a fork to press down the edges.

Repeat the same process with the remaining dough; rolling, cutting, and filling till you’ve exhausted your dough and filling. Then, place all your pies on the baking tray and lightly glaze the top of each pie with the whisked egg.
Pierce each pie using a fork to allow steam to seep out while baking.
Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes.

The meat pies are best served and eaten while hot.
