Ingredients

  • Filling
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • Dough
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/3 cup shortening
  • 1 cup milk (or a little less)

Method

  • Brown ground beef and fry onions at the same time in a big skillet. Drain off some of the fat, but not all of it.
  • Add flour, salt and pepper to skillet. Stir into ground beef until fat absorbs the flour.
  • Add milk, and stir until mixture comes to a boil and thickens. Boil for a minute, then remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • Next make the dough: combine flour salt and baking powder in a large bowl.
  • Cut in shortening until mixture is crumbly.
  • Stir in milk. It will form a slightly stiff dough. Knead it 8 to 10 times.
  • Roll out into a big rectangle, 1/2" thick or less, on top of a piece of waxed paper.
  • Spread cool filling mixture on top of dough, keeping at least 3/4" from the edges.
  • Roll like a jelly roll, using the waxed paper to help, and peeling it away as you roll. Form a long cylinder, and then slice into 12-15 slices. Place slices on greased cookie sheets.
  • Bake at 425F for 20 minutes.
