Puff pastry meat pies in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare everything you need for cooking. Puff pastry without yeast can be prepared independently or smoked ready-made. The purchased dough is usually sold frozen. Therefore, before cooking, it must be removed from the freezer in advance and allowed to defrost at room temperature. Minced meat can be used from any kind of meat. I use minced pork.

2. Step 2:

   

   Peel the onion, rinse in cool water and finely chop. Add the chopped onion to the minced meat. Divide the egg into white and yolk. Add the protein to the dough, and leave the yolk to lubricate the pies.

3. Step 3:

   

   Add a little salt and spices to the minced meat. Mix the whole mass well.

4. Step 4:

   

   Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into rectangles. Make small incisions on one half of each rectangle.

6. Step 5:

   

   Put a small amount of minced meat on the second half and cover with the half that has incisions. Pinch the edges.

7. Step 6:

   

   Place the puff pastry on a baking sheet covered with cooking paper. Brush the top of each pie with yolk. This is necessary in order for them to brown. Place the baking sheet in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, for 30-35 minutes.

8. Step 7:

   

   The finished pies will become a beautiful golden color. Remove them from the oven and cool slightly. Meat pies made of puff pastry are delicious both hot and cold. Serve them together with sweet tea. Enjoy your meal!
