The pastry is time-consuming to make and does require both skill and patience! However, the end result is definitely worth it.
Ingredients:
5 cups plain flour
2 cups milk (slightly warm)
1 ½ tsp salt
1 cup vegetable oil
500g minced beef
1-2 onion
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp mint
Directions:
Mix together gently the flour, milk and salt. Mix with wooden spoon, then
hands. Knead for 10 mins.
Leave dough ball to rest under cloth for 15 mins.
Cut into 12 pieces and roll into small balls. Put onto plate with some oil and
roll each ball in some more oil.
Leave dough balls to rest for 15 mins – covered by a plastic bag.
Flatten each dough ball into thin circles and put onto another oiled plate. Make
sure to add oil onto each circle.
Leave to rest for 15 mins covered by a plastic bag.
Make the filling by mixing together the beef, onions, spices, herbs and some
oil.
Stretch out one circle very carefully until very thin. Add another circle on top
and cover the first one in the same way. Stretch both out as much as possible
without breaking. Add oil on top.
Line with meat on one side and roll until halfway. Cut and repeat the same for
the other half.
Cut each roll into small parts and rolls into balls.
