Method

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the flour and cold butter. Use your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

2. 2

   Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

3. 3

   In a skillet, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until softened.

4. 4

   Add the ground beef, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked. Let the filling cool.

5. 5

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface and cut into circles.

6. 6

   Place a spoonful of the meat filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold over and seal the edges using a fork.

7. 7

   Beat the egg and brush it over the tops of the pies. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

8. 8

   Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
