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.

Greetings to everyone here. Today I will be sharing something different that may help those diagnosed with the Herpes virus infection. I understand how challenging this infection can be, as I too have tested positive for Herpes.
A couple of years ago, during my search for treatment options, I stumbled upon some remarkable testimonials about Nze Njoku Herbal Home. Many people shared their transformative experiences and their complete healing under Dr Utu guidance. Intrigued i reached out to dr Utu via this email, and I was pleasantly surprised by how accessible he was. Dr Utu was encouraging and straightforward during our conversation. I decided to order the Herpes Herbal Cleanser.
Upon receiving the herbal cleanser, Dr. Utu provided me with a clear instructions on how to follow the treatment plan. I must admit, the taste was quite strong, but the result was worth it. For four dedicated weeks I made sure I committed myself to this healing journey with discipline, focus, and daily prayers. I ensured that I didn’t miss a single day.
Today, I am glad to to share that I tested negative for both HSV1 and HSV2 on two separate blood tests.
Previously, I had tested positive for both cultures and blood tests, and now I no longer experience any sores.
If you’re looking for guidance or support, I encourage you to reach out to Dr. Utu at drutuherbalcure@gmail.com
There is hope for healing wishing you all strength and good health on your journey toward healing
How he has helped me in curing my sickness and bringing happiness into my life. I can really vouch for DR AGBOMIAN SUNDAY, In herbal treatment. I was suffering from Cervical Cancer and infected with HPV. I used to have unusual vaginal bleeding and painful urination. There was nothing I could do until a childhood friend introduced me to Dr. Agbomian Sunday Herbal Remedies. I spoke with him and ordered his recommended medication which was delivered to me through DHL. Immediately I began using herbal medicine, and within a week I couldn’t feel any pain. It took me 2 weeks to finish the medicine and afterwards I was completely cured. I highly recommend that you order your herbal medication through. Dragbomianherbalcured77@gmail.com

Praise be to the incredible gifted Lord Meduza, I’ve never seen or heard of his lottery spell failing, not even once, and that includes my own experience. Every day, I feel renewed blessings after connecting with the Great Lord Meduza, who gifted me my winning six-digit lottery numbers that won me $740,000,000 million dollars by using his magical skills to foresee the outcome. I’m a dad of four, and it’s been a few years since I lost my wife to cancer; I miss her terribly. To wrap things up, I really want to thank Great Meduza for being so good at what he does. His guidance and lessons were applied swiftly and precisely, leading us to the best possible result, which we definitely achieved. May you stay blessed and know you’re in good hands with Lord Meduza..
