BEST Nigerian Meat Pie | Delightful Meat Pie Recipe...Better Than Mr Biggs/Sweet Sensation

The Nigerian meat pie is one of the most popular and delicious snacks in Nigeria.
It's a buttery shortcrust pastry filled with well seasoned beef/chicken and vegetables (carrots and potatoes). The filling is flavourful and moist whilst the pastry is buttery, flaky, tender and golden brown good enough to eat on its own.
A perfectly well done Nigerian meat pie should melt in your mouth. I would compare the Nigerian meat pie to that of the Jamaica beef patties but definitely more yummyyy. They can be eaten as breakfast, lunch, dinner or as a snack.

TIPS; Make sure all your ingredients are cold before you begin. This will keep the pastry light and crumbly.
Try not to overwork your pastry, 1MIN max, otherwise it will become tough.
As soon as you are done forming your dough, make sure you chill it in the refrigerator for at least 1HR before rolling out and shaping your pies.

INGREDIENTS:
4 cups of all purpose flour (500g)
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp nutmeg
10 tbsp/140g margarine (very cold)
10 tbsp/140g butter (very cold)
2 cold eggs + 1 for glazing
4-5 tbsp evaporated milk or any milk of your choice (very cold)

FOR THE FILLING;
500g minced meat
2-3 tbsp vegetable oil
3 cloves of garlic (minced/chopped)
1 cup diced onions or 1 onion bulb
1-2 scotch bonnet (if you can handle the HEAT or do what i do 1/2 tsp ground pepper)
1 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp thyme
2 seasoning cube ( i used knorr cubes)
1 1/2 cups diced potatoes
1 cup diced carrots
2 tbsp flour + 3 tbsp water to make slurry for thickening the sauce

FEEL FREE TO ADJUST THE SEASONING TO YOUR OWN TASTE.
