Nigerian Meat Pie — Short, sturdy pastry and a filling that is cooked dry

This is not a British pie. The pastry is denser and holds its shape in the hand, and the filling is thickened until almost dry so the base never goes soggy.

Method

  1. Rub the butter in cold and stop early

    Coarse breadcrumbs with visible butter flecks. Add ice water a little at a time until it just comes together. Chill 30 minutes.
