Ingredients For Sealing and Glazing:

Instructions
1. In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. Add the cold butter cubes. Use your fingers to rub the butter into the flour until it looks like breadcrumbs.
3. Gradually add the cold water, a little at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Don’t overwork it.
4. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
5. Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until soft.
6. Add the minced meat and cook until browned. Break it into small pieces as it cooks.
7. Toss in the diced potatoes, carrots, thyme, and curry powder. Stir well.
8. Add the seasoning cube, salt, and pepper. Pour in a little water (about 1/4 cup) and let the vegetables cook until soft.
9. Mix the flour with a bit of water to make a paste. Stir this into the filling to thicken it. Let it cool.
10. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
11. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness.
12. Use a round cutter or a small bowl to cut out circles from the dough.
13. Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each circle. Be careful not to overfill.
14. Fold the dough over the filling to make a half-moon shape. Press the edges together with your fingers, then seal with a fork.
15. Place the meat pies on the baking tray. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
16. Bake the meat pies in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
17. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

The moment I checked my numbers and realized they all matched, my heart started racing. I had to double-check multiple times because I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Winning the Powerball jackpot of $107,000,000,00. This has completely changed my life.

My name is Justin Simporios from Canada. My daughter was unable to walk for several months after an accident that required her to have surgery. Because I haven’t won the Lotto I’ve been playing for so long, I haven’t been able to pay for the surgery. A friend online recommended Lord Meduza to me and he deserves a really, really big THANK YOU. This man chose to help me with a lottery spell and he gave me the precise numbers to play the Canada Lotto Max Lottery. After two weeks, I was proclaimed the winner of $80 MILLION DOLLARS. Now, my daughter will be able to walk once more after so much time as her surgery is now completely funded. My victory marks the biggest win for a single ticket in Lotto Max history in Canada. I still can’t believe it, Indeed there’s none like Lord Meduza. Although if you want your EX LOVER back, he can help you too so get in touch with him right now.

Hello, I want to share my testimony with all of you. I have daily 9 to 5 jobs but while I work, I try my luck at playing instant Lotto. On this particular day, I decided to seek help online regarding tips for winning the lottery and I saw many individuals testifying about Meduza spells. I reached out to him and informed him that I needed help to win the lottery and he clarified the process to me stating that after he casts the spell, it will take 48 hours for him to provide me the winning numbers which I accepted. I followed all his instructions and he provided me with the numbers to enter the Lottery. After the draw the following morning I received a notification on the Lottery app on my phone indicating that I was the lucky winner of $273 million on the New Jersey Lottery and I’m here to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Meduza.
