Introduce the recipe and ingredients for the pie dough.

Add all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar into a bowl for the dough.

Boil or soak the saltfish to prepare it.

While the saltfish is boiling, mix the dough ingredients and add water to form a soft dough ball.

Knead the dough and cover it for about 20-30 minutes to rest.

Chop the cabbage, garlic, carrot, sweet pepper, onion, pimento, tomato, and garlic powder in a food processor until roughly chopped.

Cook the chopped ingredients in coconut oil for about 2 minutes on the stove.

Set the cooked mixture aside to cool.

Break off a piece of dough, roll it out by hand, and fill it with the buljol mixture, folding it over and pinching the edges to seal.

Optionally, use a fork to pinch down the edges for a better seal.

Heat oil in a pan until hot, then add the pies to fry until golden brown on each side.
