Turn off the heat and let the filling cool down.

In a mixing bowl, add 400 g of flour and over 20 g of butter.

Mix the flour and butter together until a breadcrumb texture is achieved.

Create a hole in the mixture and add one egg.

Add a little water to the mixture and mix everything together.

Let the batter rest in the fridge for 30 minutes to 2 hours.

Roll out the batter on a floured surface.

Cut out circles from the rolled batter.

Place a spoonful of filling on one half of each circle.

Brush the edges with a little egg to help seal.

Fold the dough over the filling and press edges together with fingers.

Seal the edges with a fork for a decorative finish.

Place the pies on a baking tray.

Brush the tops of the pies with beaten egg to give a brown color.

Bake in the oven until golden brown.
