Method - Pastry:
TIP: Amounts of flour needed varies depending on egg size, so it's all about finding the right dough texture - not too sticky and definitely not too dry. Work on roughly 90 to 100g flour to 1 egg ratio. It's also best starting with slightly less flour and adding gradually if needed.
1. Add 2 heaped tablespoons of potato flour to a mixing bowl
2. Add 2 heaped tablespoons of chickpea flour
3. Add 1 heaped tablespoon of tapioca flour
4. Dice about 50g of butter into cubes and add to the flour mixture
5. Work the butter into the flour between your finger tips until it is like breadcrumbs
6. Add 1 small to medium sized egg
7. Bring it all together with your hands until it forms a dough
8. Add more flour a little at a time if it feels too sticky or add a little drop of cold water (or oil) at a time if it feels too dry
9. Once the dough is a good texture, then roll it out on a floured surface to whatever shape you need
Step 5: Like breadcrumbs
Step 6: Egg added
Step 9: Dough ready
Method - Filling:
1. Cook chicken (roast, fry or oven-cook) and cut into smaller pieces
2. In a frying pan, fry some onions and garlic in butter (or oil, tallow or ghee)
3. Add the chicken
4. Add bone broth and preferred herbs
5. Thicken with a little pre-mixed potato flour and cold water
Step 2 & 3: Chicken, onion and garlic cooking in the pan
Step 5: Filling ready
