Ingredients:
=========== Filling ===========
1 to 2 lbs. mutton or beef, minced
1/4 cup prunes, chopped
1/4 cup dates, chopped
1/4 cup raisins
2 Tbsp. vinegar
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
pinch saffron, ground
=========== Crust ===========
1 1/4 cup flour
1 egg yolk, beaten
6 Tbsp. butter, softened
water
Directions:
Mix the filling ingredients and set aside. Cut the butter into the flour thoroughly. Mix in egg yolk and enough water to let the dough hold together. Separate into eight portions and roll out. Place one eighth of the filling into each, fold over, and seal with water. Bake at 350°F until crust is golden - about 30 minutes.
Ground meat may be used in place of minced, but this will change both the flavor and texture of the pie. |
