_Method for Pie Dough_
To a bowlAdd in 500g of flourAdd in a pinch of saltAdd in 2 Tablespoon of oil
Add hot water to form a dough, must be just a little stiff than a normal roti dough, but if it's soft like a roti dough that is fine
Roll out like rotis, don't make too thinAdd in filling on one half, add water with your fingers around the edges, close with the other half and press down with a fork or fold it in till you come to the end
Deep fry them till golden brown and enjoy
You would think they soak up oil when frying but the don't
It's so 😋
