My meatpie dough is always hard. I don't know what I am doing wrong. Need Help! Also need recipe for EGG ROLL and CHIN CHIN. Thanks

It is supposed to be hard.

Don't reply my post if you don't have anything intelligent to contribute. If the dough is suppose to be hard, I wouldn't ask the question. I want my dough crusty if you know what that means

you might wanna add more butter, and more water/milk while mixing it.
i am not too good at cooking, but i hope i am right sha.
Good luck

dem dey add milk to meatpie dough?

@Tope2000!, Yes

@poster, use milk instead of water. you can find these recipes online and if you can't, I'll help you find 'em when I have the time.

Oh really? different weather, huh? so where do you prefer?

Is egg roll the same as scotch egg? there are no recipes for 'egg roll' on that website

dem dey add milk to meatpie dough?

what would u add to the flour, isnt water or milk?

water (cold)

xoxoxo:

water (cold)

what will happen if you add cold milk?

Add enough water to the dough so its not too thick, at least soft enough to knead with your knuckles is how i like it.
Use eggs too in the dough.

After making the meatpie, just before putting in the over, beat some eggs and daub the top of the meat pies. Use margarine to coat your baking pan too.

Good luck.

@Chiogo, Wish I can have the best of both worlds. The weather is georgeous from November to around april. Hardly any Winter. Definately no snow. Then Five to six months of miserable 90+ degree summer heat. After sometime you just get tired of the heat. Actually hotter than Naija in summer. so I can't really say. other than the heat. I will take texas any day. beautiful homes. good roads, good place to bring kids up.

Yeah, I heard the houses there are huge just like mansions in naija. I guess it has to do with the warm weather. You know it's mostly cold in boston, big houses are a no-no. . .that'd require a lot of heat during the winter. I'll probably visit texas this summer, my aunts live in houston.

Davidylan can cook?? nice!!

My dear all you need is to add butter

Hello, follow the dough recipe on the above link for a nice meatpie dough. Itz been tested and proven. Check the Sausage Roll post too for the step by step pictures on how to make the dough. Good luck and let me know how it goes.

I think you need to add more butter. i usually add butter that's half or almost half of the weight of my flour. i.e. 2kg flour-1kg butter

Also, don't allow the meat pie to dry out when baking, once it gets a light golden brown color(not dark golden brown) take it out of the oven

Add more butter (not margarine)
Don't add egg to the mixture..(Use d egg yolk to cat d top of the already made dough before baking
Add more baking powder
Make sure ur dough is not too strong..add more milk/water to the mixture

I have tried several times baking meatpie, my meatpie never rise even when I use baking powder, please what is the secret in naking the dough rise?
