Nigerian Meat Pie

This recipe teaches you how to make soft, moist, and absolutely yummy Nigerian meat pies. It's a delightful snack with a flavorful minced meat and vegetable filling, perfect for any occasion. Chef's tips: (1) Using cold butter for the pastry is crucial for achieving a flaky texture. Do not let it soften too much. (2) Avoid overworking the dough during kneading, as this can develop the gluten too much and result in a tough pastry. (3) Adding evaporated milk to the dough instead of water can significantly enhance its taste and texture. (4) Lightly boiling the potatoes before adding them to the filling ensures they are tender and cooked through within the pie. (5) The natural stock generated by the minced meat, combined with the thickening flour, helps to keep the filling moist and flavorful inside the pie.
