Welcome viewers to the kitchen and introduce the recipe for flaky fish pie.

List the ingredients: carrots, peas, diced onion, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, bon cubes, and canned fish.

Squeeze excess water from the canned fish and mash it on a plate with a spoon.

In a pot, add cooking oil and sauté the diced onion for about 2 minutes until fragrant.

Add carrots and peas to the sautéed onion and combine all ingredients together; cook for about 5-7 minutes until set.

In a mixing bowl, add all-purpose flour and cold butter.

Add cold eggs and salt to the flour and butter mixture, mixing until crumbly.

Add cold water (1 cup plus 3 tablespoons) gradually, mixing until combined; use ice water if available.

Transfer the dough to a baking surface and knead until smooth; cut into four parts.

Flatten out the dough using a bowl to cut shapes for the pies.

Place filling inside the dough shapes, seal edges with hands, and press down with a fork.

Place the pies on a baking pan, apply egg wash (one whole beaten egg) on top, and make holes to prevent opening during baking.

Bake in the oven at 350°F for 30 minutes until flaky and golden brown.
