Soften 2 sticks of unsalted butter (16 tablespoons) at room temperature.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder to the flour.

Prepare water for the dough and set aside 1 egg for the crust and another for brushing the pies.

Dice and clean the vegetables: potatoes, carrots, green beans, and mini bell peppers.

Chop 1 onion and mince 4 cloves of garlic.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan and sauté the onion for about 3 minutes.

Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.

Add 1 pound of ground beef to the pan, breaking it apart while cooking until browned.

Add 1 cup of water, diced potatoes, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 2 seasoning cubes, 1 bay leaf, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground white pepper to the meat mixture.

Cover and cook until the potatoes are soft.

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt (1.5 teaspoons), and baking powder, then add softened butter and mix.

Add water gradually to form a dough, then wrap and refrigerate.

Roll out the dough, cut into circles, and fill with the meat mixture.

Fold and seal the edges of the pies, then brush with beaten egg.

Bake until golden brown.
