Ingredients

1 lb Ground Beef
1 large Onion
3 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Cumin
1 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Black Pepper
1 package Pastry Dough

Method

Preheat oven to 375°F, then roll out pastry dough to a thickness of 1/8 inch, about 10 minutes.
Cut out circles of dough using a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass, about 12 circles.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high until shimmering, then add onion and cook stirring occasionally until golden-brown, 6–8 minutes.
Add garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper to the skillet, cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon, cook until browned, about 5 minutes, then set aside to cool.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the meat mixture onto the center of each dough circle, leaving a 1/2 inch border around the edges.
Brush the edges of the dough with a little water, then fold the dough in half over the filling, pressing the edges together to seal the pie.
Use a fork to crimp the edges, then place the pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving about 1 inch of space between each pie.
Brush the tops of the pies with a little oil, then bake until golden-brown, about 25–30 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through the baking time.
Remove the pies from the oven, let them cool for a few minutes, then serve warm, about 10 minutes.
