how to make Keto Meat Pies Recipe

Step-by-step overview

Make the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, salt, and baking powder. Add melted butter and eggs, mixing until you form a soft dough. If sticky, let it rest in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes.
Prepare the Filling: While the dough rests, heat oil in a skillet and cook diced onions until soft. Add garlic, then ground meat and seasonings. Cook until the meat is browned. Allow cooling slightly.
Shape the Pies: Divide the dough into equal pieces and roll each between parchment paper into circles. Place meat filling in the center and fold or top with another dough circle. Seal the edges well.
Bake: Arrange the pies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 22-25 minutes until golden brown.
Cooling: Let the meat pies cool for a few minutes before serving.

tips to make Keto Meat Pies

Rest the Dough: Allow the dough to rest in the fridge if it feels too sticky to work with. It helps in achieving the right texture.
Adjust Filling to Taste: Feel free to adjust the seasoning in the meat filling according to your preference. Adding cheese or different herbs can enhance the flavor.
Be Careful with Filling: Avoid overfilling the pies to prevent them from splitting during baking.

variation

You can easily switch up the filling by using different types of meat such as lamb or even adding vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for extra nutrition. For a spicier kick, consider adding jalapeños or additional chili flakes to the meat mixture.
