Heat oil in a pan.

Sauté onions for about 2 minutes until fragrant.

Add ground beef and mash until clumps are gone.

Add carrot and peas, stirring to combine with beef.

Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, parsley, chili flakes, and smoked paprika.

Add flour to the beef mixture to help hold it together.

In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and cold butter, mixing until crumbly.

Add turmeric and cold water to the flour mixture to form a dough, mixing until well combined.

Add salt if using unsalted butter; skip if using salted butter.

Roll out the dough and use a pan to cut out circles.

Place beef filling on one half of each circle, seal edges tightly with hands, and then use a fork to seal further.

Brush the top of each patty with an egg wash made from one whole egg.

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Bake patties for about 30 minutes, checking at 20 minutes for doneness.
