Prepare the dough by mixing flour, butter, salt, and water until smooth.

Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Sauté onions and garlic until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in diced carrots, peas, thyme, bay leaf, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

Cook the filling for an additional 5 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick.

Cut out circles from the dough using a round cutter.

Place a spoonful of the meat filling in the center of each dough circle.

Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and seal the edges with a fork.

Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Arrange the pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
