Delicious Minced Meat Pastries: A Perfect Savory Snack
Ingredients:
7 ounces (200 grams) of heavy cream
2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
Salt to taste (optional)
For the Filling:
500 grams (17.6 oz) of ground beef
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
A small amount of oil for sautéing
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream and all-purpose flour. Add a pinch of salt if desired.
Knead the mixture with your hands until the dough becomes smooth and no longer sticky. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour until you reach the right consistency.
Wrap the dough in plastic and let it rest in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.
2. Roll Out the Dough:
On a floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll out the dough until it is very thin.
Cut the dough into your desired shape and size using a knife or pastry cutter.
3. Prepare the Filling:
Heat a small amount of oil in a pan over medium heat.
Sauté the chopped onion until it becomes translucent.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
Add the ground beef, cooking it until it’s well browned. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Continue cooking until the beef is fully cooked and well-seasoned. Allow the filling to cool before assembling the pastries.
4. Assemble the Pastries:
Place a spoonful of the ground beef filling in the center of each dough piece.
Fold the dough over the filling and press the edges together with a fork to seal them securely.
5. Fry the Pastries:
Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer.
Fry the pastries until they turn a beautiful golden brown.
Remove them from the oil and drain on a paper towel.
