  1 tbsp garlic, minced

  1 cup potato, diced

  1 cup carrot, diced

  1 cup green peas

  1/2 tsp salt

  1/2 tsp ground black pepper

  1 tsp sugar

  1/2 piece chicken cube

  2 tbsp cooking oil

  4 tbsp sugar

  6 tbsp water, cold

  1 piece raw egg

  1 cup butter, cold

  1/2 tsp baking powder

  Instructions

  Cook the Filing

  • In a heated pan, pour the cooking oil and allow to heat-up
  • Saute the garlic and onions
  • Add the chicken breast then cook until color turns light brown (about 5 minutes)
  • Add water and chicken cube then simmer for 10 minutes
  • Put-in carrots and potatoes and simmer for 5 minutes
  • Add the green peas, raisins, and sugar then simmer for another 5 minutes
  • Sprinkle salt and pepper. Turn off the heat, drain the excess liquid, and set aside.

  Make the dough

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients starting from the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt then mix well.
  • Cut the butter into small thin pieces place in the mixing bowl with the dry ingredients.(the butter should be cold and solid before doing this)
  • Add water gradually and mix all the ingredients thoroughly until a dough is formed. You may use a pastry blender to easen the process.
  • Divide the dough into individual pieces by grabbing a piece from the whole mixture and rolling it in your hand until a spherical shape is formed. Do this until all the dough is consumed. Set aside in a cool place for at least 20 minutes
  • Flatten the spherical dough py pressing it with your palm against a flat surface. Use a rolling pin to flatten it fully while creating a round shape.

  Put it together

  • Place some filling at the middle of the flattened dough. Fold the dough so that opposite ends meet (you should have formed a half moon shaped dough)then press the edges and seal. (refer to the video for the technique)
  • After all the fillings are consumed, crack the egg and separate the white from the yolk. Beat the egg white lightly and mix a little water.Glaze the crust by brushing the egg wash.
  • Put a wax paper on top of a baking tray or grease the baking tray then arranged the sealed doughs.
  • Pre-heat oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes. Bake the sealed doughs for 25 minutes at the same temperature.
  • Remove from the oven.
  • Serve hot. Share and Enjoy!
