Cheese pies

[sister herb]

For the Dough

• 3 cups of sifted plain flour
• 2 tsps of baking powder
• 1/2 tsp of salt
• 1/2 cup of olive oil
• 1/2 cup of melted butter
• 1/2 a cup of Greek yogurt
• 1 egg yolk

For The Filling

• 2 eggs lightly beaten
• 250 gr of crumbled feta cheese or goats cheese
• 1 cup of grated kaseri cheese or Gruyere cheese
• 3 tbsps of single cream

Method

1. To make the pastry place all the ingredients in a food processor until the mixture forms a ball. Cover in plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for half an hour.
2. Once the dough has rested remove it from the fridge and roll it out to about 3 mm thick.
3. Cut out rounds using a 12cm cookie cutter.
4. Lightly mix the filling ingredients in another bowl and proceed to place 1 tbsp of filling in each round.
5. Fold each round in half and seal the edges with a fork to achieve a nice crimped edge.
6. Place the pies onto a baking tray, brush with egg wash and place in a preheated 180 deg C / 360 F oven for about 25-30 mins (depending how your oven works!)
7. This recipes yields approx 25 small pies.

I've tried to make fried rice once and it was terrible. I put wayy too much salt and ketchup on it
