Makes 6

Pastry:

• 1 egg yolk
• 1 ¾ cups plain flour
• 125g butter straight from the fridge
• 2 tsp cold water

Filling:

• 200g beef mince
• 1 small onion
• 1 Tbs olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 1 medium potato
• 1 small carrot
• 1 celery stick
• 1 Tbs tomato paste
• 1 tsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp fish sauce
• 1 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
• A dash of Garam Masala
• A little milk

1. Pastry: Chop butter into squares and place in a food processor with flour. Process until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add egg yolk and water and continue processing until mixture comes together. Knead for a short time until dough is cohesive and smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate.
2. Filling: heat olive oil, beef mince and onion in a fry pan on high; continue until beef is cooked though. Mix through remaining ingredients. Cover and continue cooking on low heat for ten minutes.
3. Assembly: Preheat oven to 200 degrees C and line a biscuit tray with greaseproof paper. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface. Use a plate or bowl to cut out circles approximately 15cm in diameter. Place a small mound of filling down the centre of the circle. Fold sides of circle up to meet each other and press together. Brush top with a little milk. Place on biscuit tray and bake for 30 mins.
4. Note: Although you will need to collect the remnants of dough and roll out again, aim to do so as few times as possible, as overworking the dough makes it difficult to work with.
