Method

1. 1

   In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut in the chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

2. 2

   Gradually add cold water, mixing until the dough forms a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

3. 3

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground pork, ground beef, and chopped onion until the meat is browned and the onions are soft.

4. 4

   Season the meat mixture with cinnamon, cloves, and black pepper. Stir well and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

5. 5

   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out half of the dough to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Fill with the meat mixture.

6. 6

   Roll out the remaining dough and place it over the filling. Seal the edges and cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

7. 7

   Brush the top with beaten egg for a golden crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, until golden brown.

8. 8

   Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
