will update this post to include recipe. no harm trying to bake pies. on a whim, i thought i should try this savory pastry. though my first batch has thick wrapper and dry fillings, i think muchhas improved in my next batch. much like my first attempt in making bread, this experience has opened a lot of possibilities for yummy snacks. next up, jamaican patties!
for this batch i used the follwing:
2 cups APF
7 tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 tbsp salt
4 tbsp warm milk
1 egg
i mixed warm milk with egg in a bowl. mixed apf and salt in another. poured the liquid bowl in portions and added 1 tbsp butter in batch to slowly wet the dough. mixed the dough a bit by hand and formed into a ball, covered with cling wrap. stored in the ref as i cook the filling. later based from other videos, i shouldn't have overmixed my dough and used cold milk and butter instead. will try next time to see if i will end up with a flakier dough. also, i used by air fryer and then the rest deep fried in oil. honestly the air fryer is biscuit like and drier. i should've added a tsp of sugar as well for browning color effect. i thoroughly enjoyed flattening and shaping the dough :)
