The Nigerian meat pie is one of the most popular and delicious snacks in Nigeria.
It's a buttery shortcrust pastry filled with well seasoned beef/chicken and vegetables (carrots and potatoes). The filling is flavourful and moist whilst the pastry is buttery, flaky, tender and golden brown good enough to eat on its own.
A perfectly well done Nigerian meat pie should melt in your mouth. I would compare the Nigerian meat pie to that of the Jamaica beef patties but definitely more yummyyy. They can be eaten as breakfast, lunch, dinner or as a snack.

TIPS; Make sure all your ingredients are cold before you begin. This will keep the pastry light and crumbly.
Try not to overwork your pastry, 1MIN max, otherwise it will become tough.
As soon as you are done forming your dough, make sure you chill it in the refrigerator for at least 1HR before rolling out and shaping your pies.

4 cups of all purpose flour (500g)
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp nutmeg
10 tbsp/140g margarine (very cold)
