Add Milk: Gradually add the milk to the flour mixture, stirring continuously until a dough forms.
Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Let it Rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Prepare the Filling
Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the finely chopped or ground beef until browned.
Add Onions: Add the finely chopped onions to the skillet and cook until they are soft and translucent.
Season: Add salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well and remove from heat. Let the filling cool slightly.
Assemble and Bake
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
Divide the Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into equal portions, depending on the desired size of your breakfast pastries.
Fill the Dough: Roll out each portion of dough into a circle. Place a spoonful of the beef filling in the center of each circle.
Seal the Pastries: Fold the dough over the filling and seal the edges by pressing them together. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
Prepare for Baking: Place the filled pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with a mixture of melted butter, milk, and egg yolk to give them a golden color.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and cooked through.
Serve
Serve and Enjoy: Once baked, let the pastries cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious homemade breakfast pastries warm.
