Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
  2. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually mix in ice water until the dough comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  4. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until translucent.
  5. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Stir in the tomato sauce, potato, carrot, peas, and raisins. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the vegetables are tender. Let cool.
  6. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Roll out the dough and cut into circles. Place filling on each circle, fold over, and seal edges with a fork. Brush with egg wash. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden.
