Ingredients

  • 300 g ground beef
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 sheet puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Beef Filling

Heat oil in a pan, and sauté the chopped onion until soft and golden. Add the ginger-garlic paste and cook for a minute. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with cumin, coriander, chili powder, and salt. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through. Set the mixture aside to cool.

Step 2: Prepare the Puff Pastry

Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry into squares, large enough to fold around the beef filling.

Step 3: Assemble the Beef Puffs

Place a spoonful of the cooled beef mixture onto the center of each pastry square. Fold the pastry over the filling to form a triangle or rectangle shape. Press the edges to seal, ensuring no filling escapes.

Step 4: Apply Egg Wash

Beat the egg and brush it over the top of each puff to give them a golden, crispy finish when baked.

Step 5: Bake the Puffs

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the puffs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the puffs are golden brown and crispy.

Step 6: Serve

Remove the puffs from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Beef Mince Puffs with your favorite dipping sauce or chutney.

FAQs

Can I use other types of meat for the filling?

Yes, you can substitute ground chicken, lamb, or even vegetables for the beef to suit your preference.

Can I make the beef filling in advance?

Yes, you can prepare the beef filling a day ahead and store it in the fridge. Just assemble and bake the puffs when you’re ready to serve.

Can I freeze the Beef Mince Puffs?

Yes, you can freeze the assembled puffs before baking. Place them on a tray in a single layer and freeze until solid, then transfer to a ziplock bag. When ready to bake, no need to thaw, just bake at the same temperature for a few extra minutes.

Can I bake these puffs without egg wash?

Yes, you can skip the egg wash if you prefer a dairy-free version. The puffs will still be delicious, though they may not be as golden brown.

What can I serve these Beef Mince Puffs with?

These puffs pair wonderfully with mint chutney, tamarind sauce, or a simple yogurt dip.

Put the flour in a large bowl, then stir in the yeast and a large pinch of salt. Make a well in the centre, pour in 175ml warm water and the oil and bring together with a wooden spoon to make a soft, fairly wet dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-8 mins until smooth. Divide the dough into four balls and arrange on a floured tray, well spaced apart. Cover with a tea towel and set aside for about 40 mins-1 hr until doubled in size.

Heat the oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 8 and put a baking tray in the oven to heat up. Roll the dough balls out on a floured surface into long baguette sticks about 22-25cm long, place on the hot tray and bake for 10-12 mins until puffed up and golden, then leave to cool. Can be made a few hours ahead of baking.

To assemble, split the bread down one side and neatly layer in the tomato, ham, mozzarella and rocket, if using. Mix the pesto with the olive oil, drizzle over, halve and serve.

Put both the flours into a large bowl and whisk them to break up any clumps. Add the egg yolks and a little of the milk to the flour and whisk to a thick paste. Add the remaining milk, a splash at a time, to loosen the batter.

In a separte bowl, whisk the egg whites with an electric whisk until they hold stiff peaks. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter with a spatula, trying to keep as much air in as possible. 

Heat a large non-stick pan over a medium heat. Using a dessert or serving spoon, add a large spoon of batter to the pan in a round, for the bunny body. Add a smaller round for the head, two small ovals for feet, and two long thin pancakes for ears. You should be able to get all the bunny components into the pan, or cook them in batches. 

Flip the pancakes after a minute or two, when the edges are set and the bubbles start to pop on the surface. Flip and cook for another min until golden brown on both sides. 

Put the bunny body in the middle of the plate, position the head, ears and feet just overlapping to look like the back of a bunny. Add a banana slice for the tail, and raisins (if using) for the feet pads. 

Repeat with the remaining batter. Decorate with extra chopped fruit, if you like.
